Love the drawing of the nights on horseback. Well done!

How many Canadians played in MLR last season?

This is the answer and one of the many things I've learned from Volko.

I read The Dispossessed this year and really liked the way it described an anarchist collective. Would suggest that to anyone who doesn't grasp the concept.

US vs. Samoa? I always knew you were a man of taste.

Awesome! Someone made a flow chart and shared it on BGG. You can check it out here: boardgamegeek.com/filepage/301...

If you have Paramount+ or CBS Sports put on USA vs. Australia from the Women's Rugby World Cup. 10 minutes left and it's a great game.

Eagles gotta get Maher the ball!

The most frustrating bit is how few publishers there are who take a chance on weird games. I think a lot of gamers don't realize there are things they would enjoy because companies don't want to risk working outside of the box.

I love this idea!

I think the game vs Japan is huge for the US as a tune-up. Need to get their act together (especially the line-out) to prep for Samoa.

You think US will lose the 5th place game vs Samoa?

Living in California I find it very hard to like Newsom. He is really transparent in his goal to become President and I feel like he has not given enough attention to the serious issues the state is facing. Also, his turn on trans athletes is pathetic and gross.

Get 4 cards (each with a shape). Give those to all four players. Then, grab another deck and draw a card with randomly assigned alliances. That would be random and also not involve redos.

Playing sports

Awesome! That should be super fun.

League Leader in YATTPB (Yards After Taking Taiwanese Parliament Bill)

I taught a PTA board game design class for 4th and 5th graders at my kids' school. I'd start by giving them like 3 cubes and a die and saying, "You have 30 minutes. Make a game we can play!". They'd always come up with super creative stuff. Just making something and sharing it builds confidence.

This looks so cool!

"In the Shadows" Two games in one! The rulebook is an exercise in over-efficiency, but it's worth the study. 100%. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhcK...

Striking From the Dark – In the Shadows Review Seldom has a game become so relevant to modern times between conception and final production as In the Shadows - Resistance in France 1943-44 has become (I'm assuming it's been in the planning stages for numerous years, anyway). This game is a 2-player, 45-60 minute (BGG says 30-45 minutes, and maybe that's true once you're familiar with it) game about the French Resistance in World War II fighting against the occupying German forces.

Thanks for posting this, Geoff! Just signed up.

Was just there! Second a trip to Manly (ferry only takes 20 minutes to get there). Rollers Bakehouse in Manly had good coffee and great pastries. If you are free tomorrow you should grab a ticket and go to the Sydney Swans game. It's Aussie Rules and super fun. Have a blast!

I've always loved Dan's work, and was equal parts excited and terrified for him to review it. Really proud of the work we did and glad that it shines through.

Final unboxing video of the day is In the Shadows: Resistance in France 1943-1944 from @gmtgames.bsky.social What a fantastic little package that has a lot of game contained within.

manuscript practice!

Jamie George super sub. Changed the whole mentality of those line outs and helped push them over the edge.
