It was the first time we'd used it - having utilized it without, I don't know how much the rails do beyond helping preserve the paper of the loop. Having a disc reach the top of the loop then have gravity take over was pretty common :)

MOAR PICTURES!
We had a blast playing Of Popes & Plagues last night at First Turn Games! Some very different strategies emerged from our two tables of 6!
Swing by the shop and try the game yourself from the demo shelf if you haven't - it's a great game that's easy to learn!

It absolutely was. We got two very solid games in and got to show off most of the cool stuff you guys sent over. Thanks so much for letting us share the awesomeness with our community!
Also RIP Callahan. The first round of the first game might have been overkill :D
In 45 minutes, we'll be going live on Twitch and YouTube to open a mystery box sent to us by our friends at @doomlings.bsky.social - and then we'll get some games in too! See y'all soon!

We appreciated everyone who has worked with and supported us so far, and are excited about what the new year has in store. As always, we also welcome feedback on the good and bad of what we do, so please feel free to reply here or reach out if you have something you'd like to share!
We tried a ton of new games as a group, have been privileged to work with multiple game companies, and have a ton of things we're looking forward to as the new year unfolds. I switched up our video game rotation a bit, and figured out more of what folks seem to like from us too.

As we start 2026, I want to take a moment to reflect on 2025. I got to go to Origins for the first time, as well as Gen Con, meeting a ton of amazing artisans, content creators, and board game enthusiasts. We started demoing board games at our LGS, and work on a few projects continues.

December was a chaotic month. I (Braden) went in for a second cornea procedure right ahead of Christmas right after one in November, and while this one has been much more successful, it has come with the usual need for rest and recovery, so much less posting as a result.

We’ve got 72 hours to go and nearly 100 backers. Help us get across the line and hit our first stretch goal!
