Perennial is live on Kickstarter! This spatial game by @emilykeepskitties.bsky.social is endlessly fascinating to me—you have so much control, yet the puzzle is so elusive. Plus, it's about one of my favorite things: wildflowers! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fla...

Forgot to mention! This month I made my debut as a contributor to Around The Table, the @gamaofficial.bsky.social trade magazine. I did a little piece about accessibility, why it matters, and how game designers can work to make board games as inclusive as possible: www.gama.org/page/around-...
Page with headline saying Making Tabletop Games More Accessible in orange, with pictures showing Molly Johnson, Shawn Stankewich, Laura Kate Dale, Alita Robertson, and Tyler Existed, their names in orange. The body of the story starts the piece covering what accessibility means, recommendations, and the start of how designers might implement itPage in orange with light purple text 
Headline in white: accessibility design questions
Text: Laura Kate Dale recommends a few questions to consider. 

The questions are listed below in bullet points

Got a chance to play @fanfactories.bsky.social 's Honeypot @flatoutgames.bsky.social tonight. While I tend to stay away from "I cut you choose" style games, this game feels so good in the later rounds in figuring out how your opponent is going to read the dossier you passed them. Review Tuesday!

New comic! Breaking news: Local gamer hears ‘12-player real-time’ and spirals into an overambitious planning frenzy. 🗞️🚨 You can read this week's blog post at www.semicoop.com/comic/fit-to... #boardgames #fittoprint @alderaceg.bsky.social @peterlmcpherson.bsky.social
Panel 1: A character excitedly explains that Fit to Print has a 12-player "newsroom" real-time mode. Heinze reacts enthusiastically, saying, "Ohhh! I love that!"
Panel 2: Rachel is looking really concerned and says, "Why did you tell him that? Heinze is obsessed with unpractical games, now he's going to be thinking about this all week!" The person who shared the info responds, "It can't be that bad?"
Panel 3: At night, Heinze is wide awake in bed, taking notes. He says, "So if we already have 12 people over… we could also do the 12-player variant of Flamme Rouge... and if everyone brings a laptop… we could run two full starships in Artemis after lunch!" Rachel lies next to him, awake, looking exhausted. Starbuck is also still awake and playfully rolling on the bed end while Apollo is sleeping on Heinze's legs.
