I was half expecting this to be the Berenstain Bears canon of my childhood, further reinforcing the Mandela effect. Published last year? <whew> safe

Agreed- our favorite cons are the prototype heavy ones.
Amanda and I hosted NamandaCon (Nate+Amanda=Namanda) after SDHistCon, and then ended the Con Crawl with BGGCon, with Candice and both Matts throughout. I didn't fully track but highlights were Speak Easy, Iwari, Oranges and Lemons, Times Up (thx @ericlang.bsky.social), and a couple prototypes.
Is that a selfie with the oldest playtester on staff?
@mandapandala.bsky.social 👀
Agreed, board games feel very nascent as a medium.
Confirmed

Agggh @candidrum.bsky.social keeps mentioning it and we really want to see it. Hopefully a broader or streaming release soon. Congrats!
Huge congrats!
Slay the Spire, Century Spice Road, and… that’s it for this past week! Busy week with work.
Also, @danthurot.bsky.social, what do you use to make the grid of games graphic?
At a local con as well (@rollplusfun.bsky.social is being modest, he organized it!): Hab & Gut, Rebel Princess, Molly House, Dune (OG, not Imperium), Darwin's Choice, Troyes, 7 Wonders: Architects, Bites, Agent Avenue, and Dwellings of Eldervale.
Stationfall definitely. The King is Dead is another one that comes to mind.
Our favorite game from Dice Tower West 2025 launches soon.
🙌 And if @mikedilisio.bsky.social is asked to reevaluate that ranking, it might go up or it might go bust!
Congrats, Jason!
Thanks! My gaming group has been discussing the mask quite a bit, so was curious to hear from the designer perspective on that.
Hi Jo, good to meet you at PaxU and we've really enjoyed our plays. Question: Is the mask item intended to be very powerful such that non-informant players need to guard against?
The boardgame + @kedseconomist.com crossover I didn't know I could hope for! 🎲✂️
Very light week- Ready, Set, Bet; Pipeline; Cosmic Encounter Duel; and an untitled prototype. Enjoyed Pipeline and the prototype. 👍🏻
Tash Kalar is very very good

Such an interesting SCOTUS tour! Loved that Circle DC offered events beyond gaming!
(No pun intended that he is '[dice] towering' of course)
As someone who has been graced with being in Tom's presence, I concur he is indeed towering. @charlietheel.bsky.social may need to help maintain the vertical accuracy.
A truly great achievement! Congratulations, Dan!
I can't wait for the upcoming translations, Liz!
Circle DC as well: Peace 1905, 2.5x Molly House, Weimar, and some lighter fare (Panda Spin and Fishing).
