Cozy-Looking Games That Are Surprisingly Competitive These wholesome-looking board games let players crush their opponents with devious strategies.

Humbled to have Arboretum mentioned alongside such legendary titles as Wingspan from @elizhargrave.bsky.social and Patchwork from Uwe Rosenberg

They called Arboretum "fiddly", but I'm honored to be mentioned by Wirecutter alongside such awesome titles as Bohnanza, Dominion and Scout.

Why is it that so often the right move is to hide your true intentions?

I just met the legendary Andrew Looney and he told me the story behind his Icehouse games. What an incredibly great guy and an amazing designer!

I know everything that is going on right now is scary but Wisconsin proves that money is not the end-all be-all of everything in politics. Above all, we must stay calm, be strong, be true to ourselves and our principles, and support our neighbors and loved ones.

Has anyone done late event submissions for #Origins and get rejected? Anyone have an idea how that works?

And do I need to include the table placards? They're kind of large and don't look as pretty as the cards and tokens.

Should the tokens all be hovering vertically like the cards?
