I wrap the box top and box bottom sepparately, of course ^_^ then put it in a regular cardboard box that will successfully withstand the mailing process.

Frontal view of two game prototype boxes, one labeled "Flamingo" and the other one with a cover image rhat reads "Goat herders". At the bottom of the image, the hand holding up the boxes is visible. In the backgroud is a shelf full of white A4 mailer boxes with white labels as well as some colorful folders.

For sending out prototypes I mostly use old game or expansion boxes, which are overall sturdier than the mailer boxes, usually wrapped and with some kind of cover image.

I mostly use these A4 mailer boxes as little drawers because they can fit a lot of components as well as rules print-outs and playtesting notes. I don't use them to actually mail prototypes out, though, because they're not as sturdy in the middle.

Thirded!

Sounds like a plan! ; )

Brilliant! Hope you have a great time : D

Oooh, now I get what happened! xD I only heard a bang and then just saw him suddenly hanging from the side of the table!

It's indeed an unusual metric, but probably also a uniquely significative one? : D

It was great having you there! I hope it happens again sometime : )

Happy Mettday! 🥳

(or, alternatively, just how "fried" one's brain can be after a heavy, demanding game!)

That's amazing xD

It reminds me of the (I can't imagine but to be entirely fictional) joke about the person bragging about completing a "3+ years" puzzle in just one.

Seriously, though, it goes to show how sometimes those icons are not as unmistakeable or "intuitive" as they may seem 👀

@beardedrogue.bsky.social thought you'd like this ^_^

That sounds quite useful! I only knew of select text -> Shift+F3 in a standard windows keyboard configuration. Not having to select first would save a lot of keystrokes/clicks! The Shift+F3 lets you do all words at the same time, but one may not need that as often if used to the other input method 🤔

Or probing the hardest cheese you'll ever see 🧀

Neat! 😀👍🏼

I've got a hunch that this wasn't in the Spieleklassiker-box : P

Glad to see you had some extra stuff ^_^ It looks interesting! : )

Ich hab da das absolute Schnäppchen gefunden 👀 www.taschen.com/de/limited-e... xD

View of the box front of the card game "Bellevue" (a version of the cardgame "Grachtenpand" by Zack Hoekstra, published by Wulfhorn Games and Gigamic), the box being placed on a wooden table.

Grabbed that version while in Luxembourg! 🌷

Hoffentlich lässt sich die Langeweile immerhin kurz halten ^_^

Vielleicht unterschätzen wir alle nur das Riesenmalbuch! : D

Yay, Phil Walker-Harding, at least? 😅

You may get a lot of mileage out of the standard card decks, though, if there are other players around! 😀

アイ•フｨール•ユー u_u

I'd just been to class recently, so when my name was called in a waiting room a bit later I was almost as confused as them with my prompt "はい!", which was waay too informal when heard as "hi" (in German) in that context xD

~Just 日本語 things~☆

BerlinCon Tag 1 läuft! 😊 #berlincon #brettspiele #flinta

Panoramic view of the FLINTA*stisch stand in a hallway at BerlinCon 2025. Some people are behind the counter and some gathered before the stand.

I'm at the BerlinCon! Come say hi 😀

I'll be at the FLINTA*stisch stand flintastisch.de - find us right by the main exhibition hall 🏳️‍🌈

Hahah, if the author had actually known, instead of doing that by mistake, it would've been a novel take on a Mandela Effect joke xD

Sorry, but, why is this post not about how many sea lions it would-

Oh, hello mr bea- OM NOM NOM NOM

If you ever make a giveaway, they'd be le' go mini figs! : D

Pretty much! Though, being from Argentina, I have to add this disclaimer: please just don't derive your knowledge about what mate tastes like from there 😁 (the actual infusion tastes better 👀)

Vermutlich in der Handtuchrock- ich meine, Saunakilt-Tasche 🤔

Will you be able to record whether it fits and sits, and how often? 😺📥👀

Wow, such commitment! I'll definitively be giving this a listen!

I hope you can find new ways to enjoy it!
