@amabel.bsky.social is my podcast guest this week, and as usual, our conversation was an absolute delight. youtu.be/IbEpCnCLLBQ

A FB post from Cineplex featuring Jack Quaid pretending to be injured more and more throughout a Clipper game.

Love the marketing happening here.

It's one of those games that I don't play all the time, but every time I do I love it.

I can't wait to hear what you think about Fortune. It's the only one I don't own nor have played. I like the other expansion a LOT.

What are books that changed the way you think? For me, Habit by Charles Duhigg is one of them.

Highly recommend it if you have a chance to read it. It's one of the few physical books in the "business" world that I own. amzn.to/43JmA7p

YouTube video by Tabletop Express Board Game Review | Lairs by KTBG

I had a chance to playthrough a prototype version of #Lairs by @kidstablebg.bsky.social for @tabletop.express the past few weeks.

Check out what I thought (hint: I liked this one quite a bit)

Knowing these things as the Education Secretary is only part of your job - minor detail there...

Stonemaier Games co-founder Jamey Stegmaier smiles as he holds up a copy of his company's game Wyrmspan, which features artwork of a flying dragon on the front

A hand holds a playing card with a picture of a dragon on, above boards and components from the board game Wyrmspan

Stonemaier’s “pretty big gamble” with large Wyrmspan print run pays off, as soaring sales help company’s revenue surge to $23.7m

What is illegal about a boycott? (Nothing)

"Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s great automakers, and Elon’s ‘baby,’ in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for,”

Yeah, we've had our copy for a bit but illness kind of killed a lot of our review time.

Still need to play this and SETI

Yikes. Assembling quotes for a reprint of a $40 MSRP board game. The latest to come in is a US printer with a price over $18 per copy.

(If $40 is the MSRP, then we are actually getting 40% of that amount when we sell to distributors, or $16, and we pay the cost of shipping to them.)

Four cards, with unique looking creatures and instructions on the bottom that all include dice.

Dice of blue, green blue and purple on assorted cards with place holders for them. Additional dice are blurred in the background.

Dice on the left in the colors red, orange and blue. a Small white piece on a board with grass and farmland is on the right.

Colorful gnome hero cards on a red tablecloth.

Did you know that #CompanionQuest by @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social is now live on Kickstarter?

We had a chance to check out this cooperative game with some enjoyable dice rolling and dice mitigation.

Appreciating the singular Ichiro Suzuki, who fell a single vote shy of unanimous Hall of Fame induction Ichiro was one vote shy of being the second-ever unanimous Hall of Famer

I'd like to know who thought Ichiro wasn't a HOF.

We knew this was coming. @erininthemorning.com does a good breakdown of what's in the document in the thread that follows.

Lacking words today - so I am going to focus on board games.

@ryanesp.in right up your alley.

The narrative of "Trump saving TikTok" is disturbing to me. This is the same man who effectively started this conversation of banning it in 2020.

Big credit to the customer service team over at @vidiq.bsky.social.

The TLDR: I didn't realize I was paying for two accounts - one that I had upgraded. They fixed the issue, took the previous month's payment, and applied it to the other.

A masterclass in customer service.
