I demand you transfer all but one card from your hand to my hand! Also, transfer the highest card from your score pile to my score pile!

Gosh, how did we humans ever manage to create anything noteworthy before LLMs? Imagine being expected to spell correctly, write a cohesive paragraph, compose a photo, or design anything graphical yourself in 2026. /s

SZS, but I like OWL/Seers Catalog too. Haven’t played BAT or Nitnit yet.

I’m on a 3-day #boardgames streak to start the year! LotR Fellowship trick-taking game, Pickomino, and Santorini. All fairly light, but playing something is better than not. I wonder how long I will keep the streak alive.

Steam Power, 4 players. I squeaked out the win on the Rust Belt map. We’ll surely play it again with the Germany map. Some aspects of (Age of) Steam and Brass in a short timeframe. #boardgames

That really sucks, Mac.

This kind of response from the estate makes clear the need for some cheeky malicious compliance, in the spirit of the original artist.

I think people would still respond to this game even if the artwork were less on-the-nose. Sidestep the copyright.

Yes! That is a great way to put it. I feel pushed by both, but in separate parts of my mind. It’s subconscious, but maybe we can sense the harmony or discord between the two πŸ€”

Design purposefully directs the viewer towards an action or goal. Art challenges the viewer and provokes feeling or thought. They aren’t mutually exclusive, despite being different.

I like Innovation, like, a lot. It’s basically my entire personality.
