@lucifargundam I was recently given a Castell 9000 Art Set, which ranges from 2H to 8B. This seems excessive at the moment, but I'm sure I'll develop Opinions as I progress in this hobby.

The paper is a notebook from Unruled, which I also use for taking notes. It says "60lb, 30% recycled".

There's still a week left to get in on the ground floor of . Bring your "A" game!

In 2023 we're going to do a #BoardGamesAToZ challenge. There's a new letter every two weeks, starting with A on Jan 1. During that fortnight, we'll...

@konjak The advice I've heard (on game design, writing, etc.) is that if your testers tell you what's wrong, they're probably right. If they tell you how to fix it, they're probably wrong.

We played Votes for Women for the first time tonight. @peterdrake needed only 3 more Xs going into the final vote and applied some Voter Suppression for an easy victory.

I think I sent the amendment to the states one or two cards too late and lost 6-8 easy, early wins in the Plains as a result. This is clearly going to be a game where timing is everything.

I very much prefer it to Twilight Struggle because it's a bit simpler and shorter.

No, seriously. Lots of kids LOVE #trains and #dams and stuff just as much as other kids love athletes or Japanese cartoons or whatever. The world is full of fabulous, pro-city, pro-#sustainability accomplishments that we should teach kids about. Who wouldn’t love to open a pack and find this Dutch thing (from @BrentToderian ) staring back at them?

Anyone I know in the #PDX area have a Girl Scout selling their cookies? DM me a link and I’ll buy some.

@peterdrake didn't trouce me as badly as we first thought in this morning's game of Above and Below (58 vs. 51). Especially if you consider my final villager count of 4 vs. his crowd of 9.

I was very pleased by the narrative and aesthetic coherence of my final village. The replenishing fish source below fed our fish stew restaurant above with a late mushroom discovery for added flavor.

I love how the ground flows seamlessly across the cards when you line them up.

Kudos to everyone who has created so many different space games over the past decade or so.

@jalefkowit Or, as one member of the Church of the SubGenius put it, "You cannot avoid the Noid -- but you can annoy the void!"

I think of this every time my boss copies from Microsoft Word and the pasted output is an image of the text.

AN IMAGE!

How is that usable Microsoft?!
