Interview with David Thompson Codesigner of Rebels Against Rebellion from Flying Pig Games Currently on Kickstarter
About 18 months ago, while attending Buckeye Game Fest in Columbus, Ohio, we met up with David Thompson to get a quick look at a few of his newest upcoming games at the time including Line of Fire:…

I started my first session of War Story: Occupied France by @djackthompson.bsky.social and Dave Neale from @ospreygames.bsky.social with art by @kwanchai.bsky.social. It's a really clever choose-your-own-adventure of the French Resistance, using cards and other components to keep track of progress.
By far the game I saw at GenCon that I’m most excited about is @leder.games upcoming design from Alita Robertson called Kart. It looks beautiful, and the gameplay sounds smooth and fun. Was super cool to have Alita give me an overview.
July 2026 Gaming #boardgames @devir-games.bsky.social @bgstatsapp.bsky.social @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social @djackthompson.bsky.social @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social @garphillgames.bsky.social @lookoutgames.bsky.social
July 2026 Gaming
July is always going to be a bit of a slower month for gaming, mainly because I'm on vacation for a large portion of it. That means no lunchtime games! Though I was able to get a bunch of Final Girl plays in, which made up for those a little bit. No conventions, just our Sunday fun days, which have been including some longer games so the number of different games can be pretty low sometimes.

Just finished reading Maid by Stephanie Land. Highest possible recommendation.
In the house! A prototype of Rebels Against Rebellion, from Flying Pig Games, and designed by Trevor Benjamin & David Thompson. Looking forward to exploring this 1- or 2-player game about a fascinating story in the American Civil War. #boardwargames #boardgames @djackthompson.bsky.social

Excited to have this cool new game arrive today. I had the privilege to help playtest it some and it was a lot of fun. Finished product really looks great. If you enjoy a good solo game check this one out. @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social @djackthompson.bsky.social @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social
🎲📦 Mail Call!! Queen of Spies (designed @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social & @djackthompson.bsky.social / art @meeplefactory.bsky.social / published @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social). It’s a solo game about espionage in WWI Belgium. I love the b&w art, and I’m looking forward to playing. #boardgames
An area control game where you can't (directly) battle your opponent?! That's Moytora! www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/moytura-co...
An area control game where you can't battle your opponent?
Exploring how a single restriction transforms Moytura from a routine area control game into something much more interesting. Fighting Fomorians and expanding your reach in this 2-player game.

I have achieved peak middle-aged suburban American dad status. Reading this while grilling and sipping on a hazy IPA on my deck.
Just a note for folks who might be interested in Rebels Against Rebellion. I've started a design diary where I do some deep diving into the game's origin story. @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social @kwanchai.bsky.social boardgamegeek.com/thread/37152...
Heading to Origins and this is what I’ll have with me! @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social @fortcircle.bsky.social @rebellionunplugged.bsky.social @bitewinggames.bsky.social @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social
Played my first game of Moytura (really enjoyed it). Resetting the deity tiles creates interesting strategic choice. Light rules, short playtime and a fun challenge. Great game. Check it out if you haven’t. @djackthompson.bsky.social @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social @bitewinggames.bsky.social
