Chris Anderson @bluecubebgs.bsky.social · 30/04/2026While a website is unlikely to get the kind of views BGG or social media will get, it’s nice to have a place you can control (more or less) and is less likely to be ruined by the whims of the tech industry. 010

Chris Anderson @bluecubebgs.bsky.social · 31/12/2025I do a digital x by y challenge each year. Just to push me to play some board games and not just Magic and Snap. I started strong this year and decided on a 12x12, then promptly didn’t play digital games for 9 months. Managed to finish it in the end though. Lots of roll and writes. Happy New Year! 030
Chris Anderson @bluecubebgs.bsky.social · 14/12/2025Occasionally I get a comment about someone finding Tempus Imperium Aeternum, which is nice and gives me a burst of energy to invest in it. This happened a few times recently which resulted in an update to the rules to clarify tunnels and 14 new maps. www.venntikgames.com/tiavenntikgames.comVenntik Games - Tempus Imperium AeternumTempus Imperium Aeternum is the next evolution of my tempus system used in Tempus Imperium and Tempus Quest.

Chris Anderson @bluecubebgs.bsky.social · 10/03/2025PnP files for my first completed board game (Space Station Disaster 2014) have just been approved on Board Game Geek.

Chris Anderson @bluecubebgs.bsky.social · 19/06/2024I’ve been working on this for years now. It’s relatively easy to make a tiny 18XX game that fits in a tin. But that just feels like an annoying way to play. Getting the feeling of 18XX with a game that feels right at tin size is the elusive goal. Good luck! 120
Chris Anderson @bluecubebgs.bsky.social · 19/06/2024I also love heist movies and what others have said are some of my favorites, but the “One Crew over the Crewcoo's Morty” episode of Rick & Morty is great if your a fan of heist movies. 010

I found that it takes about eight minutes or less to watch the 2 min video, write up your thoughts, and maybe rewatch to double check your feedback. 041
Chris Anderson @bluecubebgs.bsky.social · 04/05/2024Thought this was in response to my contest post. Haha. 110
Chris Anderson @bluecubebgs.bsky.social · 04/05/2024We get a few designs from intergenerational design teams. And some from kids. But it’s mostly adults and all compete on the same level. So I wouldn’t consider any help or codesigning cheating. 110
Chris Anderson @bluecubebgs.bsky.social · 04/05/2024If anyone has a few minutes free, I could use some more feedback in my contest.
