Battleline fits this, and is fantastic.

Luzon Rails (Japan map)

Excellent introductory game for someone like me trying Cube Rails for the first time.

Although Iโ€™m not good at auction games, I enjoy the player interaction that the mechanism brings.

Mint tin games: dice clash and 6x Verdant Arizona in a pile

We are blessed to have cool publishers in Syracuse! My shipment of @galens-games.bsky.social mint tins arrived. Yes that is six copies of Verdant Arizona by @robindavid.bsky.social

Keep your eye out for his next KS. The next batch is ๐Ÿ’ฏ

One of the best compliments I've received is that my games are "idiosyncratic". That's what matters to me. ๐ŸŽฒโœ‚๏ธ

Love love love this video. Thanks for talking about this with such honesty. I also hit significant burnout this year, and attributed it to a mentally challenging job combined with a mentally challenging hobby. I'm still doing Essen this year, but only to play - no pitching or meetings or stress.

So when youโ€™re planning for your pitch, think not just in terms of your fun, mechanical hooksโ€”make sure everything is working towards fulfilling the appeal of your gameโ€™s promised experience.

One of my best gaming experiences in recent years was diving really deep into Go.

That's a good score! Glass Road remains one of my top 10 of all time. Certainly, my favourite Rosenberg.

Yes, that's a good observation. I was always making backup plans. I like Steam a fair bit more!

A three-player Age of Steam play. While I respect this design, I don't really like the game! Every move has to be so carefully calculated - it's like playing in a straitjacket.

Oh, I lost by a LOT OF POINTS!
