I'll chat more about this in the coming days but I'll be at San Diego Comic Malaga (1st-4th Oct)! I'll be there talking all things The Old King's Crown (& upcoming Annulets) art in the artists alley. Additionally, I'm honoured to be doing a panel with the one & only ¡REINER KNIZIA!

New ‘How to Play’ day! I can’t recommend many games to introduce somebody to historical games more than Baltic Empires. The simplicity of this epic game’s mechanics and flow make it a great entry point into wargames. A brilliant design by Brian Asklev, check it out here: youtu.be/49-uZQCmz4g?...

After a long delay, I finally published my how to play for Cross Bronx Expressway. This game has been an absolute delight to dive into and use as an educational tool for the history of the South Bronx. Cheers, @nbsp1618.bsky.social , on this brilliant design. youtu.be/dh6__vfMVMk?...

Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.

Beautiful production of Reiner Knizia’s Samurai, published by Lighthouse Games. Support Mexican publishers if you can!

Is this what you mean by “Deluxe Components?” Jokes aside, I love Friedrich and its successor, Maria, is easily my favorite historical wargame these days.
