🎙️ Ep. CIV (104) is live! Back with Steam sale classics under $10, board game reviews, and ending with a 2026 Spiel Anticipation Game Pie! 💻 youtu.be/2UTlGEge6U0 🎧 saltandsass.riverside.com 🌟 Clip: An quick outside review about Minecraft Dungeons 2. 😊

S'IL VOUS PLAY! BOARD GAME FLEA MARKET! www.kickstarter.com/projects/svp... Trim down your shelf of shame and sell your games at the SVP Flea Market on Saturday Morning April 3rd. 2027! (OH, and maybe stay a while to play some games too!)

And you know the people doing this garbage are the ones who would never actually buy the game anyway. 🙄

Folks tanking the rating for our game (which isn't out yet) because Aragorn is depicted as a Black man. 🫠 But, if nothing else, it's too bad because their anger is gonna prevent them from playing a really awesome board game. It's their loss.

Really wish @safety.bsky.app would actually review and take action on impersonation and harassment accounts. At least a dozen accounts set up purely to try to impersonate, defame, harass, and embarass me - all reported for obvious harassment. Most still up. suzzzshellll, suzzzzshellkd...

We’re fully funded!!! Thank you for the amazing support. We’re not done! Keep sharing the love! Can’t attend? Support the Badge Pool or grab some merch! Entièrement financés!!! Merci pour votre soutien. On continue! Partagez l’amour! Pas là? Appuyez les badges communautaires ou prenez du merch! 💛🎲

AND WE'RE LIVE!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/svp... Badges and more are now up for grabs for S'il Vous Play!, Ottawa's newest and best Board Game Convention. S'il Vous Play! will be an amazing event with Special Guests, a Board Game Comedy show, and of course tons of great gaming!

Grabble is so much FUN!😍 Grab pieces one‑handed into your cup & slap the table. First to slap gets the big pawn. Don't be last! That player gives up a piece. Next, a piece is called out and anyone who doesn’t have it is OUT. Last player standing wins! Fast, fun and no injuries. It's a keeper!

Moonrollers gives big energy in a small box . It is a push‑your‑luck dice game where our rolls were keeping us on edge. We had fun, even when the dice were brutal. It is great for players who love risk, rewards, and a little chaos. 🎲 @ivstudio.bsky.social

I am finally 3D printing organizers for my board games...and not letting them languish on the table for weeks. 🤣

Salut Ottawa! Ici Mandi, de l’équipe de S’il Vous Play! Nous préparons une toute nouvelle convention de jeux de société ici même à Ottawa, du 2 au 4 avril 2027. Les badges seront disponibles sur Kickstarter dès le 29 septembre. www.kickstarter.com/projects/svp... Venez jouer avec nous!

There's been a post going around on Reddit about the reality of using platforms like Kickstarter and BackerKit. And I think it's very important for independent creators to realize a couple of things before they get started with those platforms. So here is a free post on my patreon about those.

The Reality of Crowdfunding | Fari RPGs ⋅ Tabletop Blueprint

There's a post on Reddit talking about the point of Kickstarter. It went pretty viral and got very popular. A lot of upvotes, a lot of comme

I swear I know the difference. 🤣

🎙️ Ep. CII is live! We’re a smidge late, but we chat video‑game obsessions, new board games, and wrap with a “video games as board games” Game Pie! 💻 youtu.be/q9BIPO-tpqI 🎧 saltandsass.riverside.com 🌟 Clip: Suzanne teases Mandi for mixing up the Koi vs. Axolotl in Circadia. 😄

Into the Machine is one of those games with super simple rules but clever decisions. I was surprised by the interesting puzzle aspects of the game and fast turns. Overall, super satisfying and highly recommend! @alderaceg.bsky.social

It has been two-ish years but it was worth the wait! 😍 I love the look of The Covens of Midnight Solo RPG and the rules are so easy to follow. I have the perfect tarot deck to use. Can't wait to dive in! @crossedpaths.co.uk

Hi Friends! Both Mandi and Suz are dealing with illnesses this week so the podcast will be a few days late! Tune in later to hear about Mandi's latest 3D printing adventures and Suz's experience at the Universal Distribution Trade Day (it's more fun than it sounds!) We appreciate you! 💜

I cannot seem to shake this sickness! Ughhh Hopefully, I will be ready to stream on Wednesday. This game is super good! @alderaceg.bsky.social

Unfortunately, Mandi is not feeling well and will postpone the stream until Wednesday September 9th, 2027 at 7:30pm ET. See you all then. :)

Je prépare une liste de créateur·trice·s de contenu BIPOC canadien·ne·s dans le domaine du jeu de société (EN/FR) 🍁! Si vous connaissez des personnes à inclure, laissez leurs noms ci‑dessous ou envoyez-les à saltandsassgames@gmail.com. Merci beaucoup! 😊

Building a list of 🍁Canadian BIPOC board game content creators (EN/FR)! If you know folks who should be included, drop their names below or send them to saltandsassgames@gmail.com. Thak you so much! 😊

I was so happy to get Railway Boom to the table and have it taught to us! It is a four‑round economic auction game and I was deep in technology. ⚙️😈 Big thanks to Remy for bringing copies for me and @425suzanne.bsky.social from Japan. 💜

Phantom Ink was so fun! I was able to include 8 new players at game night! Phantom Ink is a fast, party game where teams use "invisible ink" clues to guess a secret word before their opponents. As we played more games, things got tricky with fewer clues. We had a blast! @allplay.bsky.social

I love when even @425suzanne.bsky.social can appreciate a good pun. 😆

🎙️ Ep. CI is live! Suzanne & Mandi talk video and board games, conventions, and share a "Games Like Hot Steak!" Game Pie! 💻 youtu.be/GlxzTKi-O7M 🎧 saltandsass.riverside.com 🌟 Clip: Suzanne on PAX West, Mandi on S’il Vous Play!, and more puns to end the podcast. Much to Suzanne's delight. 😁

This Winter I'll be teaching an Experimental TTRPG course and I'll be focusing on solo journaling games. If you have a game you think I should read, or you have a game you really love, please plug it and tell me about it. ✨ Also please share widely. I want some non US perspectives.

I love my Astro A40s with the mixer but having to plug it in doesn't work with my new set up. Sigh. Soooo I upgraded to the Astro A50X. They were on sale but lordt they aren't cheap. 💸 I hope I don't have to buy any for awhile. 😬😪

Our venture into Mountain Goats Legacy has commenced! It started off fairly simple and now there are more ways to bump off the competition! 😈 🐐 We are having a fun time with it and will have more thoughts when we finish the campaign. @allplay.bsky.social
