To my #boardgame bubble I’ve still got a few slots free at SPIEL to meet up and just get to know each other. As I’ve recently gained lots of new international followers here on Bluesky since Twitter, I’d love to meet some of you face to face at #SPIEL26.😍 Feel free to get in touch via PM as well😘

Aaand this is why we can't have nice things. It's not the evil overlords only who enshittify our world. We as a species are so good at sniffing out the weak spots of any good thing and then go ruin it for everybody. Reviews, whether for food, hotels, games or whatever are useless now. #Brettspiele

Codenames makes Netflix debut after streaming giant approached CGE for licence - then hired it to develop the game instead: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20... @czechgames.com

Illustration of a woman in a brown trenchcoat, holding some Top Secret files, and a man in a dark suit, holding a magnifying glass and a small piece of card. Between them is a dog wearing a tuxedo sitting on a pile of papers in a fancy leather armchair. They are in a room with blinds on the window, suffused with an orange glow.

🔈Merkel treffsicher: Ein wichtiger Baustein für den Erfolg der AfD ist die alternative Realität, die diese Partei geschaffen hat. Wenn man sich über die Fakten einig ist, kann man immer noch über Werte und Präferenzen streiten. Wenn aber die Fakten schon strittig sind, fehlt die Gesprächsgrundlage.

An intrusive thought I had to try to get it out of my brain. #BoardGames #Carcassonne

Star Wars Carcassonne box next to Carcassonne Labyrinth box.
The Carcassonne Labyrinth board is in the center showing the board spaces full of Star Wars tiles. The black/nebula/neon yellow paths and various Star Wars icons contrast a lot against the traditional pastoral Carcassonne art of the board and permanent spaces.

You can find the icon here: hinokodo.itch.io/human-made The human made icon tells people no ai was used. The ai guys hide that info, and people want to know what they're buying. Often they'll be more supportive if they can see your commitment to human creativity.

I have a collection of apology notes from men in board games... for not providing support, for being silent when they knew I was right, for contributing to the problems, for reacting badly when being challenged... These notes are all sent privately regardless of the publicness of their behavior.

Actually didn't get it as a riddle, more like a question whether the game is nice. Now that you're saying it, I should have seen it, the beautiful blue-hued roofs give it away.
