I'm so grateful to @deviriberia.bsky.social for a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to Barcelona. The Spanish-language publisher of Votes for Women invited the designers of 25 games to celebrate their 25th anniversary, and somehow, I got to be a part of the party.

That time DC took over the Devir offices in Barcelona. @elizhargrave.bsky.social @deviriberia.bsky.social @torybrown.bsky.social

In the long run, I am not worried. We have a set of four great games in production that people are going to love. But in the short term, I am going a bit crazy - I appreciate the understanding.

Sigh, we are awaiting word, but I am very concerned that production will not be complete in time for the holidays even if i airmail the games here.

I share this hatred.

Preferable to hot death from below.

Mall Madness is no joke.

You and Jason Matthews must be so very happy right now.

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.

Alas, not this trip.

I’m in my happy place.

Chicago ‘68 has finally arrived, and the complete package is stunning. Congratulations to @yoyoni.bsky.social and @ronengoldstein.bsky.social! Nothing quite like the feeling of your first published game🎉

I will alter the space-time continuum so you can be in two places at the same time.

2025 has had some absolutely stellar games so far, but I just realized there’s 4 of our “most anticipated games” we haven’t had the chance to play yet

Have you had an opportunity to try any of these? What did you think?
