5 player game of Wingspan Pocket... it was the first game I rushed to buy at Gen Con. Gotta be honest, after just one play, I see this getting played more often than Wingspan around here. It's smooth and fast, plays 1-5, and is very affordable and portable. #BoardGames

tabletop games + app games + pie + AsAm Adoptee + She/Her = ruining games one skeet at a time. as seen on History's The Toys That Built America. hates puns - but in a fun way. @saltandsass.bsky.social. i keep 3 things: secrets, promises, and grudges.
There are a few game designers who share their passion with their kids... and help nurture their kids' efforts and I think that's incredibly rad. Kids are great game designers! Their imaginations and "what if..." and willingness to try different things can be so fun. Love this.

Thinking about... - Gen Con staffing borked due to NY storms shutting down all flights - Gen Con unprecedented storming included tornado watches, a funnel cloud, plus convention center AND shelter flooding - coming home to haze and air warning due to massive wildfires This is... bad, right?
The rate at which people lose any level of competence in their field due to use of genAI is absolutely exhausting.
Very glad to have ditched Shopify this year. Fuck this fascist garbage.
Founding Father John Jay famously believed "those who own the country ought to govern it." That perspective has never actually gone out of style at the top of society.
You know that little purple "Shop" button on websites? Yeah - this is the guy you're making a billionaire.

Lots of folks, rightfully, calling out the "here's the happy murderer and his victims" nature of the lead photo. Meanwhile, me, an AsAm #adoptee is just processing how the story opens... 🥚

Honeypot the #BoardGame hit the table. Lighter weight set collection with a "I stack, you push your luck" approach. I want to try a house rule letting the original player keep/swipe their cards if the folder makes it back to them. But maybe @fanfactories.bsky.social tested that and it didn't work?
So glad @allplay.bsky.social brought Wordsy back in this lovely edition. Sadly no matter how good a game is, it cannot fix my spelling issues. 🫣 My only defense is that we were also having cocktails. 🍸 #BoardGames #Differentiating
The Bronze Automaton decimated us. But we had a lot of fun while we were losing. #SlayTheSpire #BoardGames #Orbs4Life
When do we get to call a boardgame an "oldie" or "modern classic"? I was pulling out Murano and said, "how about this oldie but goodie?" and my friend said "uhhhhh that's not old." The industry grew so fast the last 10-15 years... Murano is a 2014 title and 10+ years feels like ages ago.
Of course people who are against libraries don’t know how to use a comma.
I must’ve been going to the wrong libraries all my life.
On this week's @saltandsass.bsky.social podcast, Mandi and I discuss the number of titles on this year's Gen Con preview list and how it seems to have dropped. I was curious so dug a tad... and it has. But not as dramatically as I thought. #BoardGames
One of the best and most fun Ironclad runs I've ever had.
Comics are such an important form of artistic expression. I know a couple of the people on this list and I'm very excited about Dark Horse's future.

Looking for a cultural consultant who has lived a significant amount of time in Tokyo for an upcoming board game set in Tokyo with a silly take on Kaiju. DMs open or reply here.

I've played thousands of board games... and one important lesson that's really sunk in over the past 5 years is... understand how the game fits (or doesn't fit) the group. Played a game of Torchlit with two different groups and it was fascinating how different the plays were when it fit vs didn't.
Also exploring #Torchlit from @allplay.bsky.social. Is it a trick-taker? A dungeon delve driven by trick-taking card play? The card-match to move and the loser leads elements are definitely interesting. #BoardGames
I ended up liking World Order a lot more than I thought I would. It took a few hours to play... but it didn't feel super heavy. Plus, I won. :) #BoardGames
@613mandi.bsky.social alright… it’s happening.
