YouTube video by 3 Minute Board Games Puerto Rico in about 3 minutes

Today's video is Puerto Rico, no, not the AI slop version, the original 2002 version of the game, with all it's warts on display. Check out why this became the biggest game in hobby board gaming, and why people walk on egg shells around it now.

Above the characters are the words Sheriff of Nottingham 2nd Edition, and below are the words Z-MAN Games.

Reddit post: My girlfriend just broke up with me over a board game and I'm not even joking We were playing Catan last night with another couple. She had longest road, I had an ore port she desperately needed. She offers me a deal, I decline because it helps her more than me. She got silent. Scary silent. After our friends left she goes, you know what your problem is. You care more about winning a fucking board game than making me happy I laughed because I thought she was joking. She packed a bag and went to her sisters. Texted me this morning that she needs space to think about our relationship. Over catan. Am I insane or is she massively overreacting? We've been together 3 years and she's ending it over a trade in Catan? I genuinely dont know if this is actually about the game or something deeper but either way what the fuck just happened.

My dude. It's not about Catan.

In August of 2021, I decided to try my hand at #boardgames 🎲✂️ design. I know I'm the givey-uppey type, so I told myself that if I didn't have a game published in 5 years, I could go find something else to do. Evenglow is set to hit GenCon 4 years and 11 months after I made that deal with myself.

Left: "What I think I'll do when I have an evening off by myself" Rachel sits at a table playing Ofrenda. She holds a game piece and smiles excitedly. Starbuck sits nearby watching her. Apollo peeks at the game. Rachel: "Finally, a moment to explore solo modes of some games!" Right: "What I end up doing..." Rachel sits on a blue couch, looking blissfully dazed. Apollo is asleep in her lap, and Starbuck is napping on the back of the couch. A bowl of popcorn sits beside her. TV speaker: "It's Mister Darcy!".

New comic! Hands up if your evening plans have ever been hijacked by the allure of a screen... 😅📺

Auf Linkedln, der Selbsthilfeseite für Manager, die sich gegenseitig erzählen wollen, wie toll sie sind und wie wenig ihre Untergebenen/KundInnen sie zu schätzen wissen, hatte Dancey einen Post abgesetzt (Link zu einem Foto vom Post, denn ich verlinke Linkedln nicht), bei dem er erklärt, dass er fest davon überzeugt ist, dass AI (bzw die LLMs die man meistens mit AIs bezeichnet) in wenigen Jahren so hilfreich sein werden, wie jede/r Angestellte:in:

Ich sehe immer nur neue Trailer für die nächste Staffel von The Handmaid's Tale...

Der SAVE Act lässt grüßen...

Erstpartie von #BrianBoru #HighKingofIreland. Noch so ein eher unscheinbares Spielbrett mit ganz viel Spiel drin. Knifflige Abwägungen, das Geschehen enorm interaktiv.
Ein Stichspiel für Area Control - gab's es also doch schon vor #Arcs!

Ich warte auf Neues von @peersylvester.bsky.social...

So proud of my friend @corene.bsky.social who has worked on this case for FIFTEEN YEARS as part of the ACLU's Prison Project. They're raising the same issues at ICE detention centers.

Court cases move slowly but the ACLU does absolutely essential work.

Board game industry gets ‘relief’ as Supreme Court blocks Trump's 145% tariffs After months of uncertainty, publishers like Stonemaier Games say the ruling restores stability — though new tariffs may be coming.

Walter White labeled as "me teaching a game" Saul labeled as "Let's just start playing and figure it out as we go." We're done when I say we're done.
