Love hearing Avalon Hill Games are putting people first 👏🏼
You know you got it bad for a game when you love it even when you lose.
I’ve announced almost 50 tour dates for my Board Game Comedy Tour all over the US! www.grantsgamerecs.com/comedy-2

PERSON 1: No, they don’t allow tool-assisted speedruns.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreiar3wsjy5rdmexkvbkh322xd77jkkihi55attsje5jknacobnmjti)
@2muchenthusiasm.bsky.social congrats on the 300th 🎉 and loved your addition to the episode for the Fussfungle cocktail and of course Obsession! We gotta play that again on BGA sometime.
We did this last year with the kids watching the stages of the caterpillars metamorphoses and eventually released them into our back yard. This year I was able to capture one emerging from its chrysalis on a timelapse this morning.
On the table tonight, Rap Godz. Such a great, fun, thematic, and well thought out game. (For the song in the video, don’t DMC me bro)
From April 10, 1988. Hard to believe FoxTrot is 38 years old today...
Everyone has been hyping this “AI” so I went on the internet and bought some, it finally arrived!

Streetcar just released on BGA and after searching for some actual rulebooks I found this blurb for tile randomness. They don't make them like they used to!
I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

Inis Nemed finally delivered, complete with metal miniatures, coins, the Druid card stuck to the box, and the empty Legendary box as I expected. It is gorgeous. I can’t wait to play it with my wife soon!
