Somnia Game Review – Meeple Mountain Just because a player count is on the box, that doesn't mean it should be. Read more in this Meeple Mountain review of the trick-taking game Somnia.

New on @meeplemountain.com today, a review of Somnia from @dnlnwmn.bsky.social. I wrote this review a month ago, so it's been fun to see the game get so much love as a result of @shutupshow.bsky.social's coverage the last week.

Give This Game a Try | Ronda I checked, and as of this writing, I have logged nearly half of all the plays of Ronda in the BGG database. That is a crying shame. In addition to that, there are currently no reviews for it in the fo...

If you’re interested in more classic card games, I highly recommend Ronda!

It’s sort of like a souped up Scopa to me. Great at 2, Best at 4 imo!

Emblogginated "Checkers Arcade," whereby I talk about turning a common American Checkers set into an "arcade" for deep games of abstract strategy.

The latest version of 매미들 (Memideul, Korean for Cicadas) is up and finalized. I have done my best to streamline the game, while still keeping the hooks. I am satisfied with where it is at the moment until I get more feedback. So if you wanna try a weird unorthodox trick taker, check out CICADAS!

WIP box cover art for "Trifle", for a TGM Spring 2026 release.

Designed by me. Art by @saibep.bsky.social.

This will be a limited release, available in Japan via BOOTH (more details when they become available).

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Unnameable After the first day of SDHistCon, where I played three games about opium peddling, I figured the second would be easier on my stomach. I could not have been more wrong. It has no name. Its designer…

I don't know how to introduce this one. After three titles about opium peddling, I figured the rest of SDHistCon would be breezy by comparison. I was wrong. The next day, I experienced one of the toughest board games I've ever played. Perhaps *the* toughest. spacebiff.com/2025/11/24/u...

It looks like you played Briscola? At a board game convention?

Love that.

It’s wild to me that some with such a respectable taste for good games would see mine fit to be their #4 of the year. I’m honored and dumbstruck.

Absolutely killer night of trains and tricks. All new to me, all great: Iberian Gauge, Numberwang, Chai Tea Jazz (don’t mind how horribly we performed in our first game of CTJ).

Trick-Taking’s Back on the Menu, Boys! The problem with sequels, especially in board games where sequels are mechanical artifacts first and narrative artifacts a distant second if at all, is that there isn’t necessarily more to sa…

The Two Towers: Trick-Taking Game follows up on last year's Fellowship trick-taker, and like that inaugural release it's an innovative and excellent adaptation of Tolkien's fantasy novel. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/11/20/t...
