I was worried I overhyped Chicken Fried Dice (@urbanprogames.bsky.social ) and that my wife wouldn't like it as much as I did when we got to play it. The response was "Best game we played this year" Adding in the best card in the game, if I do say so myself. Photos by @peppermintfox.bsky.social

A set of components for the game, Counterpoint. Includes various cards, music note tokens, and a book of scores. A single sheet from the score book. The score is Dvorak’s American Quartet. It shows the rules for playing this score.

We do not support AI Art in board games and do not wish to cover games with such. We've had almost weekly requests for such and many of these we've had to ask/follow up multiple emails to even discover this, all of this to say: stay true to your values and ask the hard questions.
