I cannot condone violence for these people, but maybe cutting out their tongues, chopping off their hands and then hanging them in public might work? Just a thought... π€

The Patchwork board game box cover
Won Patchwork with the highest score Iβve ever recorded (in 34 plays!) 44-18
A truly excellent collection of games - two of these (Rebirth and Flip 7) were in my personal Top 3 Games for 2025, and Castle Combo and Flip 7 were in one of our contributors' Top 3 Games for 2025, so a fantastic selection of titles. Enjoy.

Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship in action #boardgames
Today is International Women's Dayβa fitting date to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Hawkmoon roleplaying game and its lead designer, RPG trailblazer Kerie Campbell-Robson. In 1986, 20 year old Kerie was one of the very first female lead designers in the industry.

Is Laura auditioning for a move to GB News?
That interview with Yvette Cooper was unbelievably bad, even for her.

The Watch It Played tutorial thumbnail for the game Purrramid
I was never a fan of cats. Don't judge me, that's just the way it was. Then I got a cat. Now I love a cat. Would I want over 70 cats? Well, Reiner Knizia found a use for that many cats! Join me here to learn his new game from @luckduckgames.bsky.social

The YouTube thumbnail for the Qork tutorial video
I've never talked about corks (and cupping and cuppers) so much in a single video. Let's get quirky and learn how to play Qork! youtu.be/FycCQ9r4Wx8
Shame on Laura Kuenssberg for giving Israel a free ride and looks to blame Iran for the war
#BBCLauraK
Dancing around the fact that Trump isn't right in the head is highly disingenuous, Laura
#bbclauraK
Laura Kuenssberg working on behalf of the US government by basically saying that the UK should just do whatever Trump wants, it's embarrassing.
#bbclaurak
Kuenssberg needs to disappear to GBNews with this line of questioning. #bbclaurak
Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper responds to President Trumpβs latest outburst.
βThe job of the British PM is to take decisions in the national interest of the U.K., not in the interests of other countriesβ¦ we donβt outsource foreign policy to other countriesβ.
#bbclaurak
.Totally agree. Chasing sound bites is the stuff of sensationalist papers from decades ago and it's frankly embarrassing to see #BBCLauraK indulging in the same rubbish. Like many, I just expect better from the BBC... π€
It occurs to me that if the government did force UK writers to hand over their work to the big AI companies, that would now among other things mean contributing to the development of US advanced weapon systems.

Mafia de Cuba is *this* close to being my favourite social deduction game of all time.
Unfortunately I feel itβs overdesigned and the theme is too high fidelity at the expense of trope.
There arenβt any design βmistakesβ - itβs just too fragile and needs perfect play or π©π©
Soooo close, and yet
So this was on BGG for a few hours and no longer appears to be.
The Lords of Waterdeep board game box cover
Great Games Night. Won Lords of Waterdeep, and then utterly crushed at SCOUT.
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...
Always great to get together in person: Chaosium's Brian, MOB and Mark working on new projects for RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha. A very productive day!
