@3mbg.bsky.social in this scenario, would I play Lucky Kittie 03 both top and bottom including the drawn card? Or does the drawn card go on the stack negating the bottom action?

Maybe a better question would be how would you want your players to feel with fulfilling an operation or spending an operation within the game world or is more of an abstract sense of action/place? @3mbg.bsky.social

I have somewhat of a silly question. How do the operations on the board fit thematically within the universe? Are you committing the operation/crime with the spent influence or does activating them on your player board the act of the operation?

Imps is a hand-stamped, small-batch take on mancala from this past indie market. With the slightest of modern touches, Nick Brachmann has created something that feels both timeless and new. Also, the imps are super adorable. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/02/18/i...

The forthcoming Stellar Ventures blends cube rails, 18xx, and just a dash of 4x spacefaring to create a dense and intriguing playground of stock acquisition, corporate sabotage, and alien contact. Despite some fiddle, this is precisely my sort of thing. My preview: spacebiff.com/2026/01/26/s...

I went to a boardgame night this evening at a pretty large brewery in Saint Paul. It's usually pretty quiet on Thursdays but I could barely find parking. When I got there I found out why. The place was packed with folks making protest signs for tomorrow. The atmosphere was infectious and joyful.

The studio is closed today in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. On this National Day of Service we encourage everyone to volunteer with community organizations near you. We spent a couple hours supporting Second Harvest Heartland and had a great time!

I am really excited for Cole and Kyle to be branching out this way. I have nothing but admiration for the skill and craft they bring to the field. I believe this change will best serve the audience of Oath and Arcs. I am excited to see what both organizations can accomplish. Good luck Cole and Kyle.
