Join the boycott! CGE needs to be held accountable. We need more action on things like this in the board game community.

Very pleased to be working with this new publisher (and less new friend) on one of my first designs! This game has gone through a lot of iterations, and I'm happy with how it landed. Couldn't be more excited to get it into people's hands next year! πŸŽ²βœ‚οΈ

The Fellowship of the Ring: Trick-Taking Game | Asmodee Experience strategic card play in The Fellowship of the Ring: Trick-Taking Game, where players complete quests and battle Sauron’s forces in Middle-earth.

It’s not just for Flip 7 - several games on that site have similarly (if not as egregiously) incorrect summaries. Check out the one for the lord of the rings trick taking game, which apparently now is won on points? www.asmodee.co.uk/products/odl...

You might agree with this, but I think this one is highly political!

You could get to flick if you win the trick? But the flicking could be set up in such a way that if you flick wrong, you might get negative points?

In my opinion, Scavengers Reign is the best animated series in a decade or more. It does so much interesting and thoughtful stuff.

Birds of a feather! You’ll be able to find The Seahorse & The Hummingbird lightly interwoven amidst the @goosepoopgames.com booth at Dice Tower East. Come say, β€œHi!” if you’re nearly. I’ll have The Book of Wandering up for sale, and I’ll be demoing…

I did a full Arcs campaign day a couple months ago. One person had never played Arcs at all, so it was a bit of a struggle. I’d love a day with folks who know it well!

The Midnight Market logo, the text Midnight Market with a ghostly white merchant with a purple cloak and the Lunarpunk Games logo as it's face at a market stand sitting atop a cloud. Behind them are crystal lanterns.

Spend 30 minutes sliding it over to a door veerrryyy carefully, then spill it all anyway when you can't get it over the threshold.

Strong @d20plusmodifier.bsky.social vibes here. This thing could be in Arcs or Oath.
