Yesterday: Procrastination Monkey had us working on a shiny new game idea instead of the projects due now and GENCON.
Today: The Panic Monster has entered the chat, right on schedule.
We are still playing the new game tomorrow. :)

W.M. Fun here with a very not so secret official secret:
AEG mailing list members always get a Kickstarter bonus.
It’s like joining a secret club without the weird handshake.

Fun first.

In 2020, Josh Wood had to cancel his Japan trip, and while the world was locked down, we all got to travel with him through Let’s Go to Japan.
Today, we found out where he’s taking us next.
Get your passports ready.

Playing a game is something you do.
Gaming is a lifestyle choice that involves spreadsheets, shelf space arguments, and pretending you're “almost done” punching tokens.

This morning: reviewing amazing game pitches and chasing down great prizes for the AEG Gen Con 30th anniversary party raffle.
Some days are just better than others.

You know I'll be talking a lot about the Fun Factory Kickstarter
But guess what just arrived?
POD samples for Smash Up!
The Smash Up POD project is progressing, and let me tell you, these cards look fantastic. See for yourself.

Notice anything different?
That’s right, I’ve hijacked the avatar and I will be your host on the AEG Blue Sky account.
My name is W.M. Fun, and I’ll be your host for a very silly, very serious mission: bringing FUN to this feed.
Lets Begin......

As promised, here’s the link to our BIG NEWS from Tuesday:
It’s all about FUN and the wild ways we’re bringing it to the world.
We’ll be breaking this beautiful elephant down into bite-sized Blue Sky chunks over the next few weeks.

Thanks for being with us here on Blue Sky. We’re just getting started. Are you still using other platforms too, or have you migrated fully? If you use different ones, how do you split them up and what are you looking for where?
We are curious.
#boardgames #AEG30
We’ve seen some great ideas for games inspired by shows, but what about the other way around? What game deserves a binge-worthy series, a theatrical release, or even a movie of the week? #boardgames #AEG30
What are some TV shows or movies you’ve seen recently that no one’s likely making a board game for, but you’d absolutely play if they did?
We’re talking sleeper picks, weird ideas, cult classics.
Let’s hear ’em.
#boardgames #AEG30
Decided if I want to do this right, I need a definitive list of every game we’ve published.
Then I’ll sort out when they came out, one turn at a time.
Here’s what I have so far:

#1TBZ #AEG30
We started building the definitive list of every game AEG has ever published.
We think it’s close—but we probably missed a few. List does not include RPG's that will come later.
Spot something missing?
Check the list and let us know:

We just got the update via email Champions of Rokugan launches June 17 on Gamefound!
As folks who once helped build L5R, we’re now just fans and totally hyped to see the clans charge back in miniatures form.

Cubitos!
We’re kicking off a few weeks of love for one of our wildest, weirdest, and most beloved boxes. First up, a throwback review that still makes us smile. Cubitos LTP in its full chaotic glory. Thanks Over Knight Games. #boardgames #AEG30 www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXQj...
Level 10 - Saucy Endgame
You brought sauce to the table. And with it, chaos
These snacks drip, smear, and stick to everything—including your soul. Hope you double-sleeved
Example snacks: Buffalo wings, and BBQ ribs.
#DingDing #AEG30
Level 9 – Residue Boss
You knew it was a mistake, but you reached in anyway
That orange dust is now part of your sleeves, your components, your legacy There is no cleanup. Only acceptance
Example snacks: Cheetos, Doritos, puffed cheese balls
#DingDing #AEG30
Level 8 – No Safe Haven
A single bite and it’s over.
These foods are not selective about what they target, like a MTG Chaos Orb ripped into a 100 pieces, if these snacks are anywhere near the table nothing is safe.
Example snacks: Powdered donuts, sugar cookies, beignets
#DingDing #AEG30
Level 7 – Dip Splash Radius
Every dip is a risk multiplier.
If the chip breaks, so does your friendship. This is a splash zone, card sleeves recommended.
Example snacks: Nachos with dip, hummus & pita, queso anything
#DingDing #AEG30
Level 6 – Grease Slide Zone
It’s tasty, it’s warm… it’s a grease trap.
Pizza oils and breadsticks wander fast. Groups break when the pizza arrives but some cannot help bringing a slice to the table.
Example snacks: Pizza slices, garlic knots, grilled cheese
#DingDing #AEG30
Level 5 – Crumb Risk
It starts innocent, just a few dry chips.
But the jeans-wipe is coming, and your player mat knows it. Danger increases with each handful.
Example snacks: Plain potato chips, pita chips, veggie straws
#DingDing #AEG30
Level 4 – Crumb Ambush
Deceptively innocent, but butter waits in the shadows.
One buttery finger ruins a whole deck. Clean hands only when rolling for damage.
Example snacks: Popcorn, corn chips, kettle corn
#DingDing #AEG30
Level 3 – Skewer Safety Zone
Perfectly clean, if eaten responsibly.
The moment someone skips the toothpick and goes barehanded, it’s over. Social trust required.
Example snacks: Cheese cubes (toothpicked), olives, mini meatballs
#DingDing #AEG30
