I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Oh that looks incredibly charming. And it takes my favorite parts of Cosmic Encounter and puts them in a teeny tiny race game!

The Cracker Barrel logo bullshit is manufactured outrage but I DO think there's an interesting point to be made here about how marketing genuinely does create culture, for better or for (usually) worse.

What do you use for your custom die faces? Is it made for that purpose or is there a size of sticker that accidentally fits perfectly over 3 faces?

Two-panel cartoon

1. An axolotl is sitting on a chair and giving a thumbs up.

crabby crab: What are you doing?
Axolotl kiki: I'm pretending everything is fine.

2. Crab is also sitting on a chair and giving a thumbs up.

On the plane to defcon and there’s a guy on the plane in front of me that I can tell is some sort of tech bro. He is doing some training and on every question, he is changing tabs and asking Supergrok β€” the $300/mo subscription β€” for help and STILL GETS THE QUESTIONS WRONG

I think if you’re new to speaking out for the people of Gaza & Palestine, your first job is to speak out for them loudly & clearly β€” and your next job is to clean up your share of mess from your years of silence or defensiveness.

I think hidden information can play into this - players can have different perceptions of the odds of winning based on what they know that others don't. Texas hold em heavily plays on this. Hidden goals in Wingspan and lots of other games introduce uncertainty, which is definitely exciting!

Do any board game folks know of worker placement games that include private + secret worker spots? Can't think of any offhand and a quick search isn't yielding much.

Design Newsletter June 25 - Origins! I'm currently flying home from my first time at Origins Game Fair, and what a weekend!

My first Origins was a smashing success, and felt like the perfect point to launch the design newsletter I've been meaning to start writing for a bit now!

AI photos in ads are bad. AI photos *this bad* in ads are just insulting.
