First play of "In the shadows" by @danbullock.bsky.social & @josephnschmidt.bsky.social, released by @gmtgames.bsky.social, in over a year. What an elegant game! Honestly I don't know why it took so long to bring it back to the table. Love the mix of classic CDG with a COIN feel. 👌🏼

I recently revisited The British Way by @gmtgames.bsky.social as it is my go-to game when I want to introduce new people to the COIN system. I chose the Palestine scenario, as it has all the essential mechanics without some of the more complicated concepts like control, support or geography.

First play of "Twilight Struggle" by @gmtgames.bsky.social in almost 2 years. That's kind of embarrasing. Still, such an elegant design. Won't let it happen that this game doesn't get played for such a long time.

What an elegant classic! 👌🏼 Twilight Struggle by @gmtgames.bsky.social. First time on the table in almost two years. A mistake I don't want to make again.

"Baltic Empires" by Brian Asklev, art by @zweigefuhle.bsky.social and released by @gmtgames.bsky.social. What a beautiful game in every aspect. It comes across as a very simple game, but oh boy, this has layers. Lot's of levers you can pull on your way to victory. You just have to see them.

Another play of @volko.bsky.social s "Coast Watchers" by @gmtgames.bsky.social. First time we were going for a 5 turn scenario. Tight game, the Japanese won with 3 points! Managed to do some rescues and flood the islands with CWs, but my opponent was clearing a path good for his OPs. Great game!

Hab mir gedacht ich werde mal versuchen dem Blog neues Leben einzuhauchen. Das ganze mit einer Serie zu Spielen, welche sich thematisch mit dem Spanischen Bürgerkrieg befassen. meepleriot.wordpress.com/2026/09/09/n...

¡No pasarán!

Der Spanische Bürgerkrieg hat mich schon von Jugendtagen an interessiert. Als jemand der in der Punk- und Hardcoreszene sozialisiert wurde, kam ich selbstverständlich schon sehr früh in Kontakt mit…

Finally sharing a preview of my upcoming game, Napoleon 1870, designed with my friend Brian Asklev (Baltic Empires), and published by Shakos (Napoleon 1806). We had a ton of fun designing it and are excited for the campaign to start on @kickstarter.com the 22nd of September ! youtu.be/xmaLSbrNmqQ

Play 3 & 4 of @gmtgames.bsky.social Coast Watchers by @volko.bsky.social. First time I also played with the Allied. From this first experience I find them a bit harder to play, but just as much fun as the Japanese. Looking forward to dive deeper into the game and see all it's nuances. 👌🏼

First play of Indonesia by #SplotterSpellen and I'm truly amazed. Such an amazing design. Extremely deep with a really small ruleset. Every decision counts. Exactly how I love it. 👌🏼

Let the purge begin! Prepared 4 big moving boxes that will get filled with games. Life's too short for a big game collection.

Doing some research on catch up mechanisms and positive player experience in Game Design? Any good recommendations on books or articles ❓

In a couple of weeks we have a mini-con here. Wanted to start to prepare the rules for Baltic Empires from @gmtgames.bsky.social early. Wow! Really not complex rules, but oh boy, I can already see the trash talk, bribing, backstabbing. Love when games get deep through interaction. 🗡️🪓🛡️

First plays of Coast Watchers by @volko.bsky.social and released by @gmtgames.bsky.social leave me amazed! It's been a long time since a game flashed me that much. Hats off! 🎩 Could become one of my favorite games and I'm already looking forward to future games in the Recon Series. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Seljuk by @gmtgames.bsky.social got played again and of course in our second play the rules flowed much more. In our first play the rules were a bit much to remember, but once you get a few plays in, this game runs smoothe like an oiled machine.
