Are the bestagons
Here's a preview of the other five games I'm bringing to Unpub this year. Check 'em out if you want!
Spindletop is the most developed. It's an economic hand management game based on Texas Hold 'Em poker mechanisms and the Texas oil boom of the early 20th century. Plus, it has Texagons!
Hello world! We are pleased to announce the founding of Hawk and Dove, a new historical game studio. We're just getting started on this journey, and we invite you all to follow along as we navigate the incredible world of board game publishing!

A while back, I posted about my move to the Netherlands later this year. As part of that move, my family is also venturing into the world of tabletop game publishing through Hawk and Dove. I'd be honored if you would check us out and follow along on our journey!
Happy International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month. The perfect time to reconnect with Tory Brown’s @downtowntbrown.bsky.social brilliant design, Votes for Women on the history of the Suffragist Movement. @fortcircle.bsky.social
Tell me you're in Boston without telling me youre in Boston. 🍩
I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please
I love the emotional potatoes created by @librarygrl2.bsky.social's students after they watched the I'M BORED reading by @michaelianblack.bsky.social & activity by me! youtu.be/Dd3jyzCkvDc...

Penitent by @danbullock.bsky.social is full of difficult questions and few answers, tackling the prison reforms of the early 19th century and their consequences. In many ways it's a troublesome game, but those same details make it a worthwhile dissection. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/03/05/p...
Agreed!!
It is!! Played it twice already here
Playing Le Plateau with @natefullerton.bsky.social at @g2summit.bsky.social!

Hey board gamers - your feelings an opinions about games are being turned into slop.
There's a channel called Board Game Critique. All their videos are clearly made with AI. They fess up to this, but they claim that they write their own scripts.
I cannot definitively prove that they don't, but 1/x
We played this fascinating trick-taker where you're competing to build out a pattern on this wooden board called Le Plateau.
What a fun first day at @g2summit.bsky.social!
Thank you! @roooof.bsky.social is here too!
Day 1 of @g2summit.bsky.social! It's their 10th anniversary!
Made it to New Hampshire, and there's snow! ❄️ (Yes, spoken with all the enthusiasm of a desert dweller who had to turn on her AC this past week.)
