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... πŸ€”

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.

Today is International Women's Dayβ€”a 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.

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

Shame on Laura Kuenssberg for giving Israel a free ride and looks to blame Iran for the war

Laura Kuenssberg working on behalf of the US government by basically saying that the UK should just do whatever Trump wants, it's embarrassing.

Kuenssberg needs to disappear to GBNews with this line of questioning. #bbclaurak

Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper responds to President Trump’s latest outburst.

β€œThe job of the British PM is to take decisions in the national interest of the U.K., not in the interests of other countries… we don’t outsource foreign policy to other countries”.

.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... πŸ€•

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 it’s overdesigned and the theme is too high fidelity at the expense of trope.

There aren’t any design β€œmistakes” - it’s just too fragile and needs perfect play or πŸ’©πŸ’©

Soooo close, and yet

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...
