Board games bring me joy, and joy is a protest. It’s about the memories more than the mechanisms.

A side view of five games stacked on top of each other. Top to bottom: Revolve, Race for the Galaxy, Etherstone, Pan Am, Path of Light and Shadow.

This Friday is my turn to pick games for game night with friends. Here are my picks. How’d I do?

A) It’s $88m, not $100. Only $100 if he hits performance escalators, which means he (and ostensibly the Colts) are playing well.

B) Why cherry pick 5 games when he was dealing w/injury rather than all games?

C) If he doesn’t pan out, it’s only 2 yr. The next GM/coach combo can pick their new QB.

Country Joe McDonald passed away a few days ago. We need more singer-songwriters like him today to lead us in some healing “F” chants.

Niceness is like a candle. It provides a bit of light, but if you’re freezing, it’s not much help. Kindness is the warmth of a fireplace on a freezing cold night.

Both are, well, nice… but one of them is necessary.

Made my first deck for Sorcery Contested Realm. Hoping to try it out soon. Can’t wait to learn how terrible it really is. But I bet I still have fun playing.

Rewatching ANDOR and following politics leads to some dark ideas that may feel like hope.

I hear you. The stockholders are the primary customer, the earnings are the only metric that matters.
Employees are numbers and expensive numbers, so why not just pay 2 to do the work of 3?
Capitalism is killing (most of) us.

My first two Sorcery: Contested Realm purchases: the Gothic preconstructed decks and a box of Arthurian Legends booster packs.

Welp, guess I’m a @sorcerytcg.bsky.social player now.

I want to thank people who took the time to read the document and watch the video I shared. It is also important to me that it is understood: I do not believe Matthew, Paula, Monique or Naveen (or anyone else) had involvement (or awareness) of the actions the owner of Game Night Picks took. 1/4

Put it on your calendar today. Tell your family and friends. The next No Kings protest is Saturday, March 28.
We were 7 million strong in October. We can be even stronger in March.

I think that is valid. Perfectly fine if people buy a game for a bit of “retail therapy” & the pleasure of opening, organizing, learning & (hopefully eventually) playing a game.

The issue comes when going to a convention & buying too many games just because they are “hot”. A mistake I’ve made.

I’ve definitely been guilty of buying way too many games at conventions. Interesting video for sure.

BGA plays. Toy Battle is the perfect BGA game for me as I wouldn’t get it played much IRL.
As for card tableau games go, I give Castle Combo the edge over Pondscape.
