Letibus Advent Calendar starts this Monday, persisting until the 25th of Dec! Puzzles made by the crazy talented people from the Letibus Club Discord, using the puzzle systems I created (I’m proud and humbled and still baffled by it :>). Tune in on Monday!

I think some folx might find it a bit maddening (perhaps in a good way?) but the friends I’ve played it with and I had loads of fun cheering on the other players on whom we had bid high numbers of tricks. You’re invested in everyone! lol

Numberwang — Odd Candy a trick-taking game by Cardner and Alex Babakitis Numberwang is a deceptively simple trick-taking game with shared incentive bidding. Before each hand, look at every player’s cards and bid ...

Always looking for new trick takers and hadn’t heard of this one yet! Will have to seek it out. This one surprised me with how much I enjoyed it: www.oddcandygames.com/shop/p/numbe...

Crystal’s fav two-player trick takers are being reprinted (Why I Otter and An Otter Won) AND there’s an-otter Otter game in the series now—Otter Chaos! @buttonshy.bsky.social

I think the target of 4+ seems good, maybe up to like 7 or 8? I’m not sure on the older end since my kids haven’t gotten there yet, and we haven’t played the advanced/hard. My kids just turned 6 and they like the basic easy mode.

YouTube video by Board Game Blitz Gather your friends for a picnic! - Mr. Postmouse's Picnic | Children's Game Overview

Mr. Postmouse’s Picnic is a cute cooperative tile laying game for kids! I got a review copy from @hachettebgusa.bsky.social and enjoyed playing it with my kids. We talked about it on the podcast a few weeks ago, but here’s my overview video!

Ambie holding up a navy long sleeve shirt with a cartoonish board game cornucopia design (a cornucopia with a bunch of board game wooden pieces in different food shapes, and also a dice, a coin, and a blue and purple pawn for the Blitz colors).

Three shirts from our merch store - a gray T-shirt with my 5yo’s skull design made out of meeples and other board game components, our logo on a black long sleeve shirt, and the board game cornucopia on a navy long sleeve shirt.

Yay I got some new winter/holiday merch to wear from our merch store! I’m excited for my board game cornucopia shirt cause that took me a while to draw but I like how it looks! We have a flash sale on our merch store now so you can get your own too!

Thanks for the shout out!

Like board game podcasts? Checkout Reggie's video that calls out some great shows (and introduced me to a few).

And check out Reggie's new podcast, Board States!

This happened pre-COVID too (new names disappearing quickly) because it is a lot of work. But I guess maybe a lot of new channels popped up during COVID when people had more time?
