I won a Dice Tower award for best coop game! Very grateful.
Today at 4: if you have access to the Gen Con Game Designer Academy, come see me ask @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social (Leder) @bbornmueller.bsky.social (Asmodee), @hcap.bsky.social (KTBG), and Josh West (Ravensburger) about how to make a good impression on publishers. What do you want to know??

Okay, this sounds weird, but I am hankering for a Tolkien board game, and I honestly don't know which ones are the most fun. Has anyone played either of these? How crunchy are they, rules-wise? Any other suggestions?

I'm delighted more folks will soon be able to enjoy the best modern trick taker out there. If you love this genre but feel a little worn out by the disposable gimmicks and complexity that sometimes get piled on, check this one out. It's the sort of trick taker that begs for years of play.

I will be at Gen Con this August looking at prototypes. I will be taking pitches for original board games and card games designed with the hobby game market in mind for some of the tabletop studios at Asmodee. Check below if you want more details on what I’m looking for.
@bbornmueller.bsky.social and I are back from Tokyo Game Market! It was great fun to see Bryan collect some well earned flowers and take a little walkabout following in the footsteps of giants.
With everyone, I am grieving the loss of Marjane Satrapi today. The world is not kind to artists nor are we always kind to ourselves. This makes being kind to each other even more important. Love your friends and family and make your beautiful books. These actions become more meaningful together.
