5 player game of Wingspan Pocket... it was the first game I rushed to buy at Gen Con. Gotta be honest, after just one play, I see this getting played more often than Wingspan around here. It's smooth and fast, plays 1-5, and is very affordable and portable. #BoardGames

i think it's sad that khazrak doesn't know what color she is. or that she's a cat. or what an Internet is and why all of you love her. #khazrakoneeye
There are a few game designers who share their passion with their kids... and help nurture their kids' efforts and I think that's incredibly rad. Kids are great game designers! Their imaginations and "what if..." and willingness to try different things can be so fun. Love this.
#CraftWednesday in @jacksonpope.bsky.social honor! This week we launched the girls’ next game Pegasus and Palaces! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rol...
@peersylvester.bsky.social designs too many games. he doesn't leave enough for the rest of us. therefore he must be punished! buy as many of his games as possible so that there are NONE left! then the rest of us can have a chance for once!!!!

Went to see Play Play Asia before it opens 👀, a new board game store in KL that specialises in Asian board games. it looks very exciting and very bad for my wallet 💀
Excited that Brumble Quest was successful enough in its Gen Con debut that we're working on the next one for 2027. I have 🎲✂️'d a lot of Brumble Games but my newest one is the pick. Follow me here if you want more info early! :)
years after @flatoutgames.bsky.social sent us cascadia we finally played it. #khazrakoneeye did not want us to explore the pacific northwest. i out scored dee on wildlife but she massively out scored me on habitats. she won 81-79.
Even though I have no regrets missing Gencon, it lights me up to hear so many of my friends had their best year to date. There’s little greater joy than seeing great things happen for great people
It was great to get the latest version of Effervescent (@weirdgiraffegames.com ) to the table to see some of the new additions. If you like tile placement games, this is a really unique, thinky take on the genre that will be heading to crowdfunding later this month.

Okay, I am going to tell a little story. It's one I have saved for the last couple years, almost nobody knows about it. But it lives in my heart. I don't know how others will feel about it, maybe something, maybe nothing. It's about the Uncanny X-Men. 1/

Honestly shocked how quickly my daughter has improved at Toy Battle. I'd been letting her play with an advantage (starting with an extra unit) and not only did she decide she didn't need it anymore, but she's legitimately making my sweat for a win 🥵
Thank you! I picked up Slots and Gibbers at their booth... but darn it, I missed Master of Rules. I'll go look it up. A surprise game I played and bought was People Do Thing. It's a silly party game but we had a blast at night playing it. Kind of Neanderthal Poetry vibe.

I was thinking about my earlier post on the longevity of Plaid Hat Games, and how each Gen Con brings new designers and new publishers now early on their own journeys towards each new future success. Expecting that for the gang at Chris Couch Games.
On Saturday I hosted a game day at Lloyd Center Mall, which is shutting down for good next weekend. The food court is largely abandoned but still has a lot of tables, so I thought it would be fun to hang out and play some games and soak up the mall vibes.
One of the most popular and enthusiastic demo tables was for Dino Racers by @marcelineleiman.bsky.social - thanks to Melissa for the demo!
For breakfast, I made waffles with peach ice cream, cream, and maple syrup. And a cup of coffee.
If anyone ever wants to do a mineral & gem sort of game I would love to paint those!
What we lugged back from the big show. Full disclosure: most of these games were provided to us from their publishers. #gencon #boardgames
