Which one will eventually win out and get made? I’m hoping the film for this story.

February 2026 board game plays.

Lighter month as I get back into another hobby. Need to find a balance between the two!

@tpkingauthor.bsky.social Now that the season is done, I’d like to officially recommend it. Would love to talk about it. Eps. are only half hour long so it isn’t a very large time commitment with just 6 eps. in total. Much smaller scale and a highly focused story.

Seems like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has been a bigger success than expected. I wasn’t quite sure for the first two eps. if I’d love it, but by the end I’m all in and it’s been a pleasant surprise. As usual in this world, the finale is a setup for next season, big things happen before that.

Bugonia might give The Killing of a Sacred Deer a run for the top spot here. But for now, I have it at #2. That was messed up and weird, and I love it.

As a massive fan of the IP, Tiny Epic: Game of Thrones was very frustrating. We wanted to try the co-op, and barely got through 2 rounds in 2 hours as we have to look up the rules a million times. Might have to try this 2p competitive eventually to see if it is a keeper or not.

The last time I had watched enough releases of a given year to be able to make a Top 10 Best Films that I’m happy with was 2019. I’m now on a quest to catch up on cinema from 2020-25, in addition to the usual films from the 1900’s and from all over the world. Excited to re-capture my love for films.

I like weird films, and Poor Things is now one of them. Finally watched it. Here is the movie ranked among the other Yorgos Lanthimos films. letterboxd.com/navtrav/list...

I spend a bunch on upgrades for my favorite games, but this is next level 1000. They must really love this game! I can't imaging doing something this grand even for my #1 game of all time. Even if I want to, wouldn't know where to begin!

I mean, it’s not everyone at the TDT, but the more Tom stays silent, the more I think he thinks similar to Sam.

Agreed. I think he also mentioned joining as a contributor to TDT was needed for financial reasons as FOBG wasn’t enough.

Also should be noted, he is leaving as a contributor to The Dice Tower, but I assume he will continue to put out videos on his own channel Flipside of Board Games.

I didn’t know much about Sam’s personal opinions till recently. Very sad to see. Tom should make a statement, but I’m afraid maybe his views are also the same as Sam?

Six board game boxes, for the titles Galactic Cruise, Luthier, Shackleton Base, Speakeasy, Thebai and Thesauros. In the top left of the image is the logo for the MinD Spielepreis, the board game award from German Mensa. The logo features two jagged red explosions resembling neurons, with MinD in white written in one and a pawn and some cards in the other.

I always thought Prometheus was an overlooked one. Some issues, but overall good. Felt like I was the only one who liked it whenever the Alien franchise was discussed in film circles. Covenant? oof, I don’t remember anything from it, so forgettable I guess.
