The Waldron Art Center put together a gallery installation on local game makers 🤗

I'd recommend it! We slotted a couple of them into our game. They're small additions but pack a punch. I especially enjoyed the travelling town - having more possibilities for wild kingdom card combos was a lot of fun.

A photo of the board game The Old King's Crown. It's a beautiful game, but the focus is on the card that ruined our lives: the cracked sundial. Also there is a wooden choo-choo meeple in the background that I love. I said 'choo-choo' every time I put it out.

Finally checked out some expansion gubbins for @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social and it's kinda perfect. Just a little spice on top of an already wonderful game. Pictured is the cracked sundial, which we'd somehow all managed to forget about and ruined everyone's lives in the final clash.

Join Drew and I today at noon (central US) for Wehrlegig's annual Year Ahead stream. We'll be talking about joining Buried Giant Studios, the status of our current projects, and what we are working on next.

I don't like being this vulnerable in public but I also felt like I had to say something. youtu.be/1qlEn8ob2ns

“At this time”

Precisely the problem. You can and likely will in the future. WE DON’T WANT THIS.

And this isn’t *just* about concerns of a game coming out from you. Please cancel *any and all products* that use JKR’s blood money.

We are calling for an immediate stop to all purchases from Upper Deck.

Their total lack of communication is distressing—so we call upon everyone to help us escalate.

No purchases from Upper Deck. No media coverage or posts of their games.

Upper Deck will only respond when it hurts their wallets.

YIKES.

Upper Deck (Marvel Legendary) just announced a CCG using the Harry Potter license.

Fans of UD are rallying against this decision. Like the CGE situation last year, I’m asking for your help.

Join us. Share your disgust and frustration, and help us push UD to retract their awful decision. 🎲✂️

I played Molly House by @miasmacorp.bsky.social and @colewehrle.bsky.social tonight with some queer friends. From very early on, we played essentially completely cooperatively, as we struggled to bring our community joy. 1/3

Cardboard Time Podcast Episode 126 - Our Top 10 "New to us" games of 2025 with Olivia Lothary and The Hobby - Tales from the Tabletop

It's Cardboard Time! Episode 126 is now live! (tinyurl.com/4ds32efp) On today's episode, Arwen and special guest Olivia Lothary (@olloplays.bsky.social) discuss The Hobby: Tales from the Tabletop and our Top 10 "new to us" games of 2025.

2025 in Review – Top 7 Games — Stuart Ellis-Gorman Normally I start these posts with a rundown on my year in gaming and life, but not much happened in 2025 so there’s not much to report, especially compared to 2024 when I moved to a new continent and ...

Thanks to starting a new job last year I learned and played far fewer new games than I would have liked, which has made this list a little weirder than usual. Still, tradition must be upheld so here is my Top 7 New (to me) Games of 2025: www.stuartellisgorman.com/blog/2025-in...

That's awesome! I know it can be hard to pull off too so congratulations!

Thank you for sharing so much about it. It's so lovely seeing it in play and hearing that it means a lot to you :)

I'll reflect on something I said for this Tuesday's episode. Queer people haven't gone traitor in a single game I've played of this, despite the in game consequences. There's something profound to be said about that.

yess!

yes absolutely! would be more than happy to provide any thoughts I can offer.

That's so great to hear, thanks Pablo! (assuming this is Pablo!)

Very excited to hear more about this secret specific thing!

i got to play a version of this at UKGE and it was a brilliant blast! jo has such a way of identifying the real dynamics at the heart of social relationships, cutting through the nonsense that people tell themselves to expose how systems actually work

We playtested this multiple times the other night and I'm hungry for more!

Hell yes; I cannot wait to check this out. And hey, If you aren't following Jo, you should fix that now.
