I spoke to several board game creators and retailers here in the Bay Area of California about the impact of tariffs. It's grim news for hobby games. www.solisgamestudio.com/blog/the-gro...

Game Market West is San Jose, CA today was a big success! 25+ independent designers selling around 40 unique creative games. Approx. 380 attendees. I had a lot of fun helping a bit behind the scenes and on site with some great volunteers.

I had a fantastic time at Dice Tower West! I worked at the Randy O Games booth selling Gun It and Roll in One, got to say hello to my far away friends and clients, and enjoyed a bit of playtesting and gaming too. The Dice Tower live show of Top 10 Board Game Wishes was hilarious.

Last weekend was DunDraCon 48's Protospiel in Santa Clara, CA. I had a blast co-running the room with my amazing team of volunteers through Golden Gate Gamemakers. We had a peak attendance of 58 in the room at once and gave out about 50 prizes to playtesters over 4 awesome days.
