My Stonemaier Design Regrets (2023-2026) YouTube video by Stonemaier Games

I don't dwell on regrets, but I do try to learn from the game design and product design of every game we make so I can better serve you in the future. If you're curious about these reflections, check out Sunday's video: youtu.be/gp60-URV_5k

Finally on Bluesky, just got Threads, and revived my Instagram. YouTube is fine. Need to check on my old Twitter. Am I missing any vital social media for boardgamers/boardgame designers?
