A chat about progression in board games: what it is and different ways it can show up in games (audio) decisionspace.podbean.com/e/progression-… via @DecisionSpa

@CardboardEdison So cool seeing all these prototypes on the table! Y'all are putting in so much work, and hopefully having a ton of fun too.

@thesecretcabal Respect! @BluePegPinkPeg is one of the podcasts that helped me get into board gaming in a bigger way. Discovered tons of great games through them. It's an honor to be nominated alongside BPPP! Good luck to all the nominees. 😁

Blue Peg Pink Peg is my #1 vote for this years Golden Geek. Get over there and give the most deserving podcast your vote!

@banzainator @alderac Congrats!

I'm excited to announce I'm joining AEG's team as their community manager! 🥳 I'll be handling customer service inquiries & more. They've also agreed I can continue freelance!🙌 I'll still be able to work with other BG companies while growing my skillset in the industry. Whoo! 🥳

Drafting games: variations on the mechanism, the decisions it creates, and how designers can play around with it (audio, via @DecisionSpa): part 1: decisionspace.podbean.com/e/drafting-pt-… part 2: decisionspace.podbean.com/e/drafting-dec…

@Stexe @CardboardEdison Haven't played that yet. Can't play everything, but thanks for the recommend. :)

@CardboardEdison @DecisionSpa Interesting. But no mention of Wonderland's War? Thought it was interesting to use a Rondel Open Drafting system. We're exploring that for our game at the moment.

@al_cannon Awesome! I hope you enjoy!

Nabbed a table on the train. Three hours of solo roll and writes for the @DecisionSpa game jam is *locked in!*

This was a really fun conversation. Shout outs to @BurnsideBH for the topic. (He comes up with all the good ones.) #boardgames

@gweavergames @gengelstein @BGDesignLab @OneThousandXP Thanks so much for thinking of us!

@gengelstein @BGDesignLab for sure for wealth of resources and knowledge! I love the What We Talk About podcasts by @DecisionSpa to dive into the feeling, categorization, and exploration of various design and gameplay elements. I still love the simplicity of @OneThousandXP YouTube videos.

What are your go-to resources for tabletop game design? We're collecting a list for TTGDA of blogs, youtube channels, websites, trade shows, groups, tools, etc - everything that might be useful to designers. Please post any you'd like to share below!

Tremendously humbled to receive this distinction from @CardboardEdison! Thanks for the kindness, friends! #boardgames

@lakerk That's so cool. Looking professional!

@CharlieTheel @DanThurot @TomBrewstErr Seconded. Would love to listen or participatr in something like this -- something we have been thinking about on the other space cast. 😅

@DanThurot @TomBrewstErr I'd love to listen to some kind of roundtable discussion concerning board games criticism on the Space-Cast.

I've spent the past day mulling over that (fantastic) SUSD review of JC2e, and I have to say, it's frustrating to want to discuss how the review displays our hangups with the way we conceptualize both critique and board games, when I don't want to come across as hating.

@CardboardEdison Thanks so much for including our episode on this list.

@al_cannon @TIER_podcast @tomscott Thanks for recommending us and listening! 🍻

@TIER_podcast @tomscott 's Lateral podcast is consistently rather good. I feel you probably already know about The Life is an Escape Room podcast 😉 As a board game nerd I'm currently working through the back catalogue of @DecisionSpa for some fab game dissection

Balance: a deep, two-part discussion about what game balance is, why we care about it, how games can be balanced, and the downsides of overbalancing a design (audio): decisionspace.podbean.com/e/balance-pt-1… decisionspace.podbean.com/e/balance-pt-2… via @DecisionSpa

@markbesada This is literally me watching my friends kickball game this weekend.

Inject this, as they say, directly into my veins.

Played a couple games of #Challengers on BGA with my morning coffee. Managed to win both games with these two decks. Sailor is now officially my favorite card to snag in my first pack. What is yours? #boardgames
