Kinda feels like @allplay.bsky.social is slowly taking over the biz. They’ve already released 75 games in a short period. Gained a lot of really strong publisher partners. Just announced a bunch of games across three new product lines (that all look strong). Plus furniture. Watch out, Asmodee?
Look for @asmodeeusa.bsky.social at #gencon — they’re giving away Mini DNUP (Down Up) decks! (Check out our last episode of the Going Analog Show for our thoughts on this great game.)
We played (MORE) card games, found ones that have something extra in them, and made this show to tell you about 'em. www.goinganalogshow.com/article/331/... (Thx to our sponsor. Check out the 4-game MILLRAT Pack! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mil...)
We're joined by trick-taking expert/designer @tricktaking.bsky.social to talk about...what else? Check out some interesting new games we enjoyed: www.goinganalogshow.com/article/330/...

Amanda Panda 🔜 LFG Con, BGG Con, PaxU@panda8ngel.bsky.social · 2mo agoSchedule update: Tomorrow, Thurs, Shoe @goinganalogshow.bsky.social & my friend, Lee, will be joining me to play Detective: Heists & Heartache, the expansion to Detective: City of Angels from @vanrydergames.bsky.social @phantommeeple.bsky.social is Friday. Then a Solo Sunday of Wondrous Creatures!
Three friends, three tables, three games set up and ready to go.
We said on the show that it was a missed opportunity Mistborn: Deckbuilding Game didn’t have metal tokens (since the lore is about “burning” metals for magic). Well, @brotherwisegames.bsky.social heard that and told us, “Actually we are making them” and sent us a set. They are 🔥🔥🔥

We got to play some pretty fun games at two recent media events that we hosted (for @druidcitygames.bsky.social , @playtozgames.bsky.social). Will share some thoughts on upcoming episodes soon.
