Certainly not for me. Although some games you kind of figure it out fairly quick, but some I still feel like someone turns the lights out and you are just bumping your way towards the exit.

If you haven't seen this, Saul makes really interesting games. I've played Patria Libre 5 times, still really don't know how to win (the mechanics are really intriguing), but I love playing it. And looks like I'm doing the logistics for it, so there's that. www.kickstarter.com/projects/116...

Here's another EM game! I've been messaging with Victoria, and already she's head and shoulders easier to work with than the designer of the EOC game. Good luck with the campaign Victoria! www.kickstarter.com/projects/vkl...

Some light reading, since it may be quite a wait for the last Dungeon Crawler Carl

This is Kurt. He's designed a game. And he really really wants to self promote it. I think Kurt is awesome. Maybe I should be like Kurt with Zurmat....

Why yes you can find @cmichpress.bsky.social CMU games in Middleville!!! In our small historical games section. Yes, I sell much more Pokemon than historical games, but this segment (for I think oblivious reasons) will never go away at Riverwalk Games!

@playersaidblog.bsky.social did a new unboxing of Lonely Cairn, thank you sir! Please avoid the spoiled food, heavy ice, and of course, angry polar bears.

Coalition and Taliban. The Coalition has NATO units and Afghan security forces (ANA & ANP), each with different rules for movement, supply, and combat capability. And NATO troops can trigger Civilian Casualty effects.

Despite the pained look on my face, and the beaming look on Cooper's face, I had a lot of fun with Chicago '68 at our store, Riverwalk Games. The art is fantastic, and @yoyoni.bsky.social played a key role in curating what you see. Have not taken a shot of whatever poison Yoni game me, yet...

Truly sicko news am I right??? Now we can mismange MDMP on our own time, not just on the govts dime!!! I love that this game doesn't have hexes, you have to use grids. Grid love! Its a thing!

Catastrophe Games @catastrophegames.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
How about firing Syrski instead? Honestly, what does that man have on Zelensky to still have his job after poorly micromanaging in full Soviet-style the war so far???

Catastrophe Games @catastrophegames.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
Yes, eventually. I don't have the patience for PNP backers on KS, as they expect a perfect set of files the moment the campaign ends. Which works if all you do is PNP, but for us, PNP comes at the very end of the effort.

(I don't think I would have made it through another meeting with either Grant @playersaidblog.bsky.social or Brant @armchairdragoons.bsky.social without getting this published... the pressure was mounting!)

I ran my first Kriegsspiel over the weekend, after watching Paul LaFontaine run them for years @ Origins and online. It was fun trying to keep everything running while watching the different commander's attempt to solve the problem. Very much like being the Dungeon Master!

Christopher is running a new KS campaign about trick taking games. Now I'm no expert on this niche, but each of these uses some fascinating mechanics. Especially Franciscan Diamond, which uses asymmetric suits. As in, each suit has a different # of cards. Wild! www.kickstarter.com/projects/val...

Supercollider, Growing Groves, The Franciscan Diamond
Three card 🃏 games in a campaign- unique trick taking gems. Compelling games for those new and old to the genre. Get one or all three!

At Armchair Dragoons at Origins, playing True Command, watching 2 players maneuvering scouts and decoys against the other sides scouts and decoys. Fascinating!
