I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

'There Will Come Soft Rains' tells of the final day of an automated house carrying on the routines for long dead tenants, in a short story within Ray Bradbury's 'The Martian Chronicles'. The date mentioned in the cheerful morning announcement by the house robotic voice is today, August 4, 2026.
The art on Suppose looks awfully familiar... 🤔
preview copies are in! gotta figure out who i’m sending these to…
Exciting news! You can play my abstract strategy domino stacking game Even At Odds at play.abstractplay.com/games/evenat... against REAL PEOPLE! The previous implementation on Tabletopia was clunky at best and very frustrating most often. This one is VERY GOOD! :) Feel free to challenge me!

Today's been an eventful game day! 13 different games played :)
Mel shares so much of my game-taste. And also played EAO’s solo version which I am so happy to see because no one but me plays it! :3
July focused on many travel friendly games (which is making me rethink collection priorities). The best games are the ones that get to the table the most!
Huge thanks to @matthew-montgomery.com for giving Crisps, Bespoke, and Butterscotch a shout-out 😊

Play this game, thank me later. Really cool twist on Cribbage. Pegging is gone but in its place is a neat two discard pile system to manipulate, and a dash of Gin Rummy-esque brinkmanship. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/47...
Draft Cribbage
Cribbage meets Gin.

My buddy @cityhare.studio made possibly the slickest game to utilize cribbage scoring since cribbage itself. My daughter beat me with the biggest anime plot armor turn. It’s got risk, temptation, and makes you say “why not?” followed by “well shit.” boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/47...
A new video??! youtu.be/2BoKep0_z-8?... Let’s talk Geonil’s games, including two in @25thcentury.games new Kickstarter!! #cardgames #geonil
I’ve just been algorithmed into seeing yet another silly street sport, which lead to about an hour of watching other silly sports. Tumbles started the same way. So now I’m thinking about my biggest problem with Tumbles: you really need a special surface to play it right. (🎲✂️🧵)
I’ve played 20 new-to-me games this month. I’ve played 143 new-to-me games this year. It’s a wild world to be alive in. So many good, creative, outstanding little chunks of artwork I get to play with every day. But Penalty still kicks insane amounts of ass.
The Six of VIII from @25thcentury.games looks great! They will have some copies at GenCon, and the rest of the copies are coming soon. #boardgames boardgamegeek.com/image/971464...

Designing games is easy, finishing and releasing is impossible, no one has ever done it before
I gotta say, I’m happy to see another week where the square is fuller. I do truly hate the cover for Lobo though. I play it too much to see a “how to play” as the thing. I’ll fix that.
I thought up this stupid comic at 3am last night while I couldn’t sleep so umm here, I drew it
Welcome Demons is now on BGG! will add the rulebook soon - want to give it a couple of proofreading passes first. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/47...
Welcome Demons

Just put together the cover for my next game Welcome Demons, an odd climber/shedder based on the Oni of Noboribetsu in Hokkaido (my third card game inspired by my travels in Japan). Illustrated by the amazing @ugworm.bsky.social ! Will be available for preorder this fall (and probably at TGM).
Much to the chat’s disdain, I’ve been bitten by the Burraco bug. Italians know how to make a fun game.
So @marcelineleiman.bsky.social challenged me to draw Wildberries--voila! Coming from @allplay.bsky.social. (Original cover art by @dom2d.bsky.social)
