A game I'm working on with a friend in between other, bigger projects. In it your a demon bidding on human souls by offering them wealth, knowledge, and prestige.

Piles of cards are strewn across the table. The ones at the top are labeled Industrialist, Alchemist, Astrologer, and Cardinal. The ones at that bottom are labeled things like Gold Coins, Tome, and Medal.

I'm planning on rotoscoping some photos for one of the board game projects I'm working on. I don't mind putting in the time but I really have *no idea* how it's going to turn out.

Okay, so I did compete in one tournament at WSBG. Didn't do too shabby! I love Fantasy Realms so playing in the Marvel version was a no brainer. I did well the first round but flubbed a hand in the final round 😭

A hand holding a card which reads "WSBG World Series-Board Gaming, Well Played. Here is a coupon code for $25 for coming in Second Place in WSBG's 2024 Outer Ring Game for Marvel Remix."

Currently at the World Series of Board Gaming! I'm not competing (I'm pretty sure I would get crushed), but there's a big open gaming area and it's a nice change of pace to play some games that aren't prototypes.

Nintendo suing Palworld over patent issues is... disheartening, to say the least. The fact you can patent game design concepts at all is miserable to me, but it's made so much worse by the fact that only huge companies can afford to file and defend them.

One of my biggest gripes about board games is still the bloody rule books 📚 They are still way too convoluted and long winded. Every rulebook should have a bulleted list summary version.

if there's stuff in the internet archive you love, whether it's from your childhood or older websites you made or whatever, there are no guarantees that it will be up forever. download stuff you want to be sure you have good, smart people are fighting for it. good, smart people don't win every time

Got a chance to play Undergrove last night. I quite enjoyed it, it's an engine builder but you can use the pieces of other people's engines. Everyone's engines still felt different though which was quite nice. I could see it being a very tight game if everyone at the table knows what they're doing.

A board game made up of about a dozen tiles, with a few wooden trees amongst them. Each tile has a picture of a different mushroom.
