Good news: We got the Hello Kitty X Godzilla toys for their respective monsters in King of Tokyo: Godzilla. Bad news: Our average consumption of McDonald’s has skyrocketed recently. “Sacrifices must be made for the greater good.” — @chrispyha.bsky.social, after her third Happy Meal in three days.

June 2027, right before Gen Con. It’s a good sign the hobby is still growing enough to support a new major show!

Going Analog @goinganalogshow.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Lots of classic games are getting redos, new spins, deluxe treatments...so who better to discuss this trend than with @robdaviau.bsky.social? This is what his company, @restorationgames.bsky.social, specializes in. Plus, he invented "Legacy" board games! 👂👀 www.goinganalogshow.com/article/336/...

Thanks for giving us a listen! Gen Con definitely isn’t for everyone, even though it FEELS like everyone is there, hah

So many board game conventions! @thingsgetdicey.bsky.social's Paula Deming joins us to sort them out, share our faves (and bucket-list shows), and more. Recorded from...a convention, of course. www.goinganalogshow.com/article/334/... #boardgames

It was epic! And we won all heists. Didn’t lose one. (We also played with the Dealer and Tools expansions.)

Going Analog @goinganalogshow.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

We ran a 10-player game of The Gang at LFG CON. It initially sounded like a bad idea to us, but the tweaks to the gameplay make it work (the 7-10 player expansion adds zero and exit chips). w/ @panda8ngel.bsky.social @silvermedaltavern.bsky.social

So @northstargames.bsky.social accidentally sent us an extra copy of Nature and told us to just give it away. If you'll be at LFG CON (lfg-con.com) this weekend, find us! First to whisper "Going Analog" in one of our ears gets to keep it. Don't know what we look like? GO WATCH ONE OF OUR SHOWS

Kinda feels like @allplay.bsky.social is slowly taking over the biz. They’ve already released 75 games in a short period. Gained a lot of really strong publisher partners. Just announced a bunch of games across three new product lines (that all look strong). Plus furniture. Watch out, Asmodee?

We said on the show that it was a missed opportunity Mistborn: Deckbuilding Game didn’t have metal tokens (since the lore is about “burning” metals for magic). Well, @brotherwisegames.bsky.social heard that and told us, “Actually we are making them” and sent us a set. They are 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks Daniel! ❤️ @gnomedic.bsky.social ha, I’ve quizzed the Jackbox/YDKJ team before (not for this channel but for a past video game media job). I have a funny pic somewhere of me and Cookie Masterson, but he’s purposely cut off. -shoe
