Maybe next we can get Awaken Realms AND Ravensburger to better credit Jason Perez for updating the entire game to 1897. I'm bothered by how little credit he is getting for the new edition. It was a Puerto Rican who took the slavery out of Puerto Rico!

Your reminder the organization behind those Christian "He Gets Us" ads you'll see during the Super Bowl also gives tens of millions of dollars to the Alliance Defending Freedom, the far-right lawyers who overturned Roe and write most of the anti-trans laws in the country

Non-profit rebranding Jesus for Gen Z also funds hate group
The Servant Foundation, known for its He Gets Us ad campaign, is the main funder for Alliance Defending Freedom

Board games are art. But are they subject to art restoration? How does that look for our hobby over restoration of still art? Check out my ramblings here: theyrecalledvictorypoints.com/art-restorat...

Looking through Routledge's catalog, I believe I've found four solid board gaming textbooks. What are some of your favorite books, textbooks, or collections of writings about board gaming? This is an area I'm ignorant in.

I've designed nearly eighty published games - but none of them of the sort where there are six kinds of resources - wood, stone, grain, etc. How do other designers approach starting resources? Any rules of thumb to keep in mind? Discuss and reskeet.

I’m a bit confused by Ingenious. Knizia has released 472829474 titles, and not all are going to be S-tier, but why has it stayed in print all these years where others have struggled to do so? Is “family weight” abstract just that appealing?

As I start to draft out some government mandated “End of Year” board gaming lists, I’d like to know some titles that came out this year I shouldn’t sleep on. I have done a bad job in the past of having 20+ titles on the “haven’t played” list, and want that shrunk!

For my next Daily Worker Placement article, I set myself a challenge: can I reduce down from 16 Kallax Cubes (4x4) to 9 (3x3). I’m currently at 8. Very excited to unpack the thoughts and emotions surrounding the cull, but tl;Dr: I just wanna play these dusty games I love instead of “new flings”.
