I need to learn some of the non-BGA digital platforms better. After reading the rules and playing around on the online implementation for Pax Playground, I’m super excited to get a physical copy! Thanks for listening, and I hope you’re doing well 🙂

@davidmasnato.com is at the heart of that—it’s really neat that so many people who have previously been on the show were discussed for their awesome contributions to gaming.

@tombrewster.bsky.social I bought extending finger pointer things as custom deluxe upgrades for Bomb Busters, and they’re pretty great for numerous games. Thought of you when playing.

It takes some serious arcane mastery to dive into the weirdness that is Board Game Arena. Fortunately, this adventure was guided by the Soothsayer himself, @jeffgrisenthwaite.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/5Vr1... Among other games, Jeff designed Soothsayers and Positano, and then he

The game's title is Soothsayers. Below that, it should say, "Capture the Tarot."

Last summer, I was able to talk to Chad about the company's work and so much more. It's a really great episode. Additionally, check out the late pledges for Tigris and Euphrates if you somehow missed out on the project!

@25thcentury.games has been doing a fantastic job of getting games that people want into their hands! Whether the games have been out of print or are in need of some localization, the amount of care in this process is extremely appreciated in the board game space. open.spotify.com/episode/0QkL...

After a little hiatus, I’m ecstatic that the show has returned for episode forty-six with @amabel.bsky.social Despite frequently shouting out her amazing video essays when they’re released, I’m not sure if a few words here and there can capture how much those videos mean to me. They are

@amabel.bsky.social ‘s video essays are permanent queue hoppers. This one, unsurprisingly, is phenomenal. A holiday in July—a Hollanday some may say… (which, that will be a great way to support Hollandspiele, or just buy any time!). If you somehow haven’t seen this, you’re in for a treat.

Some obligations are wrapping up in a bit, so I'm quite excited to getting into a little bit better rhythm here soon. There's some obvious bias to this statement, but I think the show is really doing some unique things—all the guests are great and just roll with it. I couldn't be happier.

If you've listened to an episode of the show, and it's made you happy, sad, goofy feeling, generally perplexed, or any noteworthy emotion that's not too troubling, it'd mean a lot if you considered giving the show a vote on BGG. boardgamegeek.com/goldengeek Any support by way of a 'nom' here,
