I'm relieved to report that the long-awaited second edition of An Infamous Traffic is even better than the original — in gameplay, in narrative, in clarity. My preview: spacebiff.com/2026/10/05/a...

Again, Opium War, Again

When Cole Wehrle first unveiled An Infamous Traffic way back in 2016, it was a scrappy little devil. Not only was it Wehrle’s second design, it was also the earliest releases from Hollandspie…

We did it! "The Nights of King Ludd" will makes it way to backers in 2027. Made by human hands and minds, never AI. Deeply grateful for everyone who pledged, played, and supported the project throughout. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Taking Greylune for another spin with @ryanschneider.bsky.social, Cati, and Owen. Much better on the second outing and with four players. It's a nice improvement over Spyrium, but mostly makes me want to play Caylus or Calimala.
