I gotcha.
I've got it.
It's big enough that I'm getting in it.
Now, lower me down.
That's right, down through the strata.
That's it, tip the earth on top.
It falls with a thud.
A resonator.
Pile it on.
Fill that six foot margin between the earth and sky.
Fill it up.
Goodbye blue.
Goodbye sky.

I don't know, I'm sorry.
That might have, and it certainly wouldn't be fair of me to say outright that they hadn't. If they formed those opinions after playing it, then that's fair and square.
But...it's pitched and presented in a way that is so antithetical to what I love about making things.

Less clothes.
Shinier hair.
Bigger rictus grin.
Deader eyes.
Deader.
Bigger box.
Bigger.
Bigger still.
Melt the background.
Melt the foreground.
Deader eyes.
Deader grin.
Publish.

Delighted to see this reprint of the excellent Old King's Crown from @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social getting Β£1 million in a few days.

Given my only critique of it was too much going on, I kind of don't want the expansions but am tempted to pledge for the incredible art

Deckers Hack into a server's network and defeat its defenses.

Deckers is great! A sandbox of powerful tools for the players to use on an escalating cascade of problems. Have to get this one.

Dan was kind enough to give our new in development prototype a number of whirls.
An excellent piece, and one full of very valuable insights!

Backed! Can't wait to play it.
We have a CRT tv in the studio (right behind me) with Puyo Puyo and Puzzle Fighter 2 in regular rotation. So we're real excited!

The Old King’s Crown Game Review – Meeple Mountain Just what The Old King’s Crown needed: additional glowing press. Read more in this Meeple Mountain review.

My review for The Old King's Crown from @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social is up on @meeplemountain.com this morning. I tried to wait until the hype feeling had faded a bit to play it. Didn't matter. It's still a great and individual game.

We ask top designers how to make board games about the worst parts of human history Board game designers Cole Wehrle and Amabel Holland talk about designing distressing historical games - and whether to make them at all.

A long read from me today, about the delicate task of designing respectful historical board games. Massive thanks to @amabel.bsky.social and @colewehrle.bsky.social for talking to me about their design approaches. www.wargamer.com/board-games/...
