A big thanks to @TropicanaCatfsh for including Fortitude in his latest video! Please take a moment to give the video a watch. As always, Taylor's take has its own brand of gravitas. (I guess Fortitude does have a lot of adjectives in front of its name!!) youtube.com/embed/iJ5AFyiZ…

@scottjohnson Yep, I grew up in the foothills of NC and you basically described our menu (just change the drink) for whenever we drove up the parkway for a picnic in the mountains.

Did any of you grow up in a family where the default picnic plan was a huge bucket of KFC, a liter of root beer, and a big bag of grapes? No? Just me? Ok.

@mcook144 @gengelstein It's a Harry Potter-themed edition of Codenames. As you can see, audience reception is split.

@gengelstein What was the issue with the new game?

CGE still has not posted any type of follow up to this post. Their credibility on actually caring about this issue is rapidly dwindling. I have been a big fan of their work, and Vlaada is one of greatest designers of all time - making this all the more painful.

@ShutUpShow Well, good sirs I propose that in some instances, albeit rarely, both cases can be true!!

Sometimes we have to review a game because it’s great. Sometimes we have to review a game because it means Matt can pretend to be Dracula for an afternoon. You simply cannot guess the category this one falls into. (It’s also great) youtu.be/F0dGgyC6b8Q

Our traditional Southern New Year's meal. I hope 2025 brings you great opportunity and adventure!

When The Gang was announced I knew it'd be a perfect gift for my 14yo--he and some of his friends were bitten by the Poker bug a year ago. We not only had fun playing, but were able to introduce it to my mother who was visiting over Christmas.

Ok, I'm definitely jumping the gun, but these arrived yesterday. I'm trying to decide which color will go out with prototype copies of the solo card-driven (emergent) narrative game I'm designing. So stoked!

I've opened preorders on my website for Like Cain and Abel, my 2-player only, 18-card trick-taker with light bluffing that plays in 15 minutes. If it sounds like something you'd like, take a look! $12.95 on pre-order for a limited time! thebentpin.com/products/prodP…

@scottjohnson Specular

@scottjohnson Secular

Trying to find a word that rhymes with ‘regular’.

@Holidai474 @scottjohnson Beat me to it!

this is actually genius??

Board game friends and fans! I've been working on a Kickstarter campaign that's launching soon and I'd love if y'all would follow the pre-launch page. I'm so excited for folks to check these out. The quality is outstanding. kickstarter.com/projects/moder…

@banzainator @matthew_jude_ You will always be cherished!

@bbornmueller I enjoyed my playtest session. It'll be great to see it out in world! Congrats!!

I could not be more proud and excited to share my first published game The Fellowship of the Rings Trick-Taking Game. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to combine two of my favorite things into a single game that so many smart people I respect have said is something special.

Come hang out with David and me LIVE tomorrow at 6:30 PM EST! We will be teaching our historical consultant, Reina Pennington, how to play Night Witches. @fortcircle youtube.com/live/7LD_w6HC-…

Pariahs, the latest game by John Clowdus, is small, weird, and fantastic. My review: spacebiff.com/2024/09/13/par…

@biffybeans @playersaidblog How did these turn out? Did the Amazon ones work for you?

@pinbent @playersaidblog These are from Amazon. I could always send them back if I don’t like how they feel. amazon.com/dp/B0BYNKMT54/…

Anyone know where (other than GameCrafter) I can buy wooden pawns like the ones in the COIN games?

What happens when two old friends sit down and talk about very cool things? Well, you get me and Chris Metzen talking about 30 years of Warcraft, and entering the next chapter World of Warcraft. youtube.com/watch?v=SZjsyT…

@biffybeans @playersaidblog Honestly, I'd give the Amazon ones a go considering the quality bar isn't that high. How many colors per set? Or do you need 20 different colors?

@playersaidblog Etsy is expensive. 20 pawns would be like $21 shipped. Was hoping f/ a small biz so I might buy other things I don’t really need. Amazon has some but unsure of quality.
