Any review I’ve done with the expectation of returning the game they paid for shipping. Even games from small studios like Resonym covered that.

I’d be pretty bummed if someone sold their review copy of our games. Giving away or returning it would be fine.

Yes, but that implies you’ll be back in town afterwards. Throwing a bbq and board game day on the 7th if you’re up for a trip to Kingston

Had a soup party. It was pretty rad. @wcs1only.bsky.social makes a pretty great French onion soup. Even if he puts distilled death inside it.

Milei was in the news up here about his concert, my immediate thought was “shit, I hope Luna is okay” Hope whatever your country is going through you’re weathering the wild ride.

If you’re ever in Seattle I highly recommend Molly Moo’s sweet cream ice cream, it’s so good.

Thomas @elympian.com · 17/08/2025

While you’re in Seattle we should play some board games! Starship Captains from CGE would be my recommendation.
