Just was reading rules for Queen of Spies today. Coincidentally I’m currently listening to this podcast.
Season 3 (4 episodes total per season) may interest all of you!

Undaunted series game, focusing mainly on the card-play aspect of this system? That is exactly Burnt Moon, a small game from @ospreygames.bsky.social, designed by @djackthompson.bsky.social & @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social.
Let us learn more about it! 👇

The cover art depicts an uncovered secret stash of espionage equipment under a floorboard, including a silenced pistol, a combat knife, a folder of documents, and a radio.

Yes, for you of course!

Leaving for @sdhistcon.bsky.social tomorrow and I'm super excited to be taking an ultra, mega top secret project that I'm working on with @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social. It's totally unlike anything else I've ever worked on.

Tagging also great friends (@playersaidblog.bsky.social, @cliosboardgames.bsky.social, @playersaidalex.bsky.social) I met at Essen and prolific designers (@trzewik.bsky.social, @djackthompson.bsky.social, @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social) whose games I could play!

General Orders bunte Map mit Tokens, Würfelschale und Würfeln im Startsetup

Um die wichtigen Punktewertungen in der Mitte der Karte entbrennt bald ein Kampf.

Am Ende könnte die blaue Fraktion die Gegner vernichtend schlagen.

General Orders WW2 von @djackthompson.bsky.social und @ospreygames.bsky.social. In diesem sehr flotten, area control wargame nutzen wir Standard- und Kartenaktionen, um die Map zu beherrschen. In nur 4 Runden hat man 20+ Aktionen, um das Ziel zu erreichen. Sehr intensiv 👍

From Normandy to the moons of Jupiter, @ospreygames.bsky.social's Undaunted is one of the best wargame series of recent years

For WS7 @danthurot.bsky.social spoke to @djackthompson.bsky.social, @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social's & Roland MacDonald about its evolution

Excellent! So glad you dig it! It was an absolute pleasure working on it with @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social and Brett J. Gilbert. And @mightyboards.bsky.social is the best!

@djackthompson.bsky.social & @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social - thanks for another great design. I just had a chance to play For the Gods at @SPIEL_Messe - a lot of fun and can’t wait to see it at Kickstarter!

Queen of Spies is coming to Gamefound Dec. 4, and there is a banner for it at Essen! The number of people who have sent me photos warms my heart.
@djackthompson.bsky.social @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social

My preference for sure is to play solo games that are designed for solo play. But here's where I'm odd...my preferred way of playing them is cooperatively with another person!
