Our first Kickstarter game ‘The Family’ is almost ready to be placed on the ship to be sent to the UK. Shipquest are assisting. When it arrives here they will distribute to all of the backers. Not long now! Thank you all for your support. Tom

@Cards_Central80 What do you think the value is?

I just backed THE MISERIES on @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/plane…

@bushontheradio board gaming in a pub is totally acceptable whether they provide the games or you’re bringing your own. You’ll be fine matey :)

No video today, but instead we present our first UKGE Quiz! Who will win? @ukgamesexpo #ukge podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/togca… Thanks to the following for taking part: Scott @MinervaTabletop Chris @unfringedthings Phil & Kirsty @LudusVulpes Martin @paperboatgames Oleta @OceanCityGames

@TOGcast @UKGamesExpo It was great to spend time with you both! Thank you for taking the time to learn about the game and the company. It was a genuine pleasure to tell you why we do what we do. Hope you had a great Expo :)

Our first video from @UKGamesExpo is up! We chat to Tom from @MayflyGames about The Family, and have a brief discussion about AI! #UKGE #UKGE2023 #UKGamesExpo2023 youtu.be/9ta1TigiXaQ

@Nick__Bentley Really insightful, thank you so much for sharing

Here’s the raw data with all 440 responses: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… I wonder what your reactions are to these responses? How should game makers think about them?

There’s a form on my site asking folks who don’t like board games why they don’t like them. I’ve gotten 440 responses. I’ve analyzed them, identified the 7 most common reasons given, and I've summarized them in this thread. Here we go: (find the raw data in last tweet) ⬇️

@trollsnrerolls Heck yeah :) see you there, hombre!

@MayflyGames Thanks Tom! 🙂 Will you be at UKGE this year??

Which of these layouts do you prefer?? I've had a lot of votes in from the hobby FB groups, as well as from industry peers, but unfortunately I've ended up with a tie 😅 Also if you don't like any, alternative suggestions are appreciated - thank you! 🙂

@BenjaminAlex12 @PokemonGoApp Hundo!!!!!

@PokemonGoApp I need help deciding what to do, do I keep it shadow or purify it to make it a hundo

Spring into Spring this April with #PokemonGO! See what’s in store. ⬇️ #RisingHeroes

The indie scene is all about helping each other out. @cardnoirgames has been a long time supporter of AoT, and has just released his own game Crown of Ash Medium weight gamers who like a strong theme, check it out! kickstarter.com/projects/cardn…

@foulplaygamers Nice one!

Stop Press! We've made the local paper! Time for us proud parents to cut it out and stick it in a scrap book! The rest of you can zoom in and have a read and then zip over to Kickstarter to back Puffin Rush now!

@trollsnrerolls @aireconuk Tommmmm! Hopefully see you there buddy! My car currently under a lot of snow in a tiny village near Harrogate. Fingers crossed the snow fairy comes out tonight and takes the snow away!

Officially stoked for @aireconuk this year - first expo where I'm going as an attendee and not an exhibitor, so will actually get a chance to play some games outside of AoT for once! 😁 Who else is going to be there? 🙂

@cardnoirgames Noooooooo. Can’t believe you’re not going! Hope you have a great weekend :)

Who's going to Airecon this weekend? I can't go so I wanna see pictures and lots of em!

Prepping for that as I’m now there as an exhibitor , not a demo table (although still doing demos if needed!). Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

@trollsnrerolls Passion/ instinct always wins for me. Often I’ve found passion to be the driving force behind mechanics.

Board game designers - if you had to choose, is knowledge of mechanics/games more or less important than an instinct/passion for creating games?
