I heard about this from some people out of SD Hist and I am intrigued!
An outline of the contiguous 48 states of the United States, filled in with a variety of prescription pills. The word Painkillers above it, with the "pain" part blurred for emphasis.
Game #3 is Painkillers - it's a heavy historical game based on the American opioid epidemic. Players run pharmaceutical companies, trying to maximize their efficiency and bank as much personal wealth as possible without causing too much societal harm. It's a rough one, mechanically and emotionally.

Update: SDHistCon North 2026 is sold out! Thanks to everyone for your support of our new convention. We can't wait to see you in the Twin Cities in July!
We're really enjoying @tomlehmann.bsky.social's latest game Dark Pact. It manages to do everything I want to see in a deck builder in half the time and with half the cards. If you want a deck builder with lots of playful engine building and surprisingly resonate thematic application, check it out.
Tickets for our next in-person convention, the inaugural SDHistCon North in the Twin Cities (July 11-12), will go on sale this coming Saturday! Also, our Harold Buchanan will discuss it with @ardwulf.bsky.social tonight: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBAj.... More on the con: sdhist.com/sdhistcon-no....
@3mbg.bsky.social in this scenario, would I play Lucky Kittie 03 both top and bottom including the drawn card? Or does the drawn card go on the stack negating the bottom action?

I don’t know how to pitch this one other than: it’s not just another match three game. Hilarious and surreal and I need the full thing now

NEW (& FINAL) SEASON of GDDD: I interview @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social to discuss her designs, creative director-ing at Leder Games, and the transition from game criticism to game design www.buzzsprout.com/1993070/epis...
Awesome thanks for answering!
Maybe a better question would be how would you want your players to feel with fulfilling an operation or spending an operation within the game world or is more of an abstract sense of action/place? @3mbg.bsky.social
I have somewhat of a silly question. How do the operations on the board fit thematically within the universe? Are you committing the operation/crime with the spent influence or does activating them on your player board the act of the operation?

Imps is a hand-stamped, small-batch take on mancala from this past indie market. With the slightest of modern touches, Nick Brachmann has created something that feels both timeless and new. Also, the imps are super adorable. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/02/18/i...
What an absolutely amazing first campaign! We could not be more thankful for all of our wonderful backers. You haven't seen the last of us - we are just getting started. Time to get this game into all of your hands and start working on Rocky Ventures! ... more on that soon
Only 7 hours left in the Stellar Ventures Kickstarter campaign! Help us reach 1,500 backers by spreading the word and backing now!

An adorable valentine with a photo of Liz Davidson. Text reads: Would you be our creative director? To Liz, from Leder Games.
Y'all, SHE SAID YES!
Happy-almost-Valentine's-Day to our new Creative Director: Liz Davidson!
Looking forward to this and Queen of Spies!
I don't like being this vulnerable in public but I also felt like I had to say something. youtu.be/1qlEn8ob2ns
The forthcoming Stellar Ventures blends cube rails, 18xx, and just a dash of 4x spacefaring to create a dense and intriguing playground of stock acquisition, corporate sabotage, and alien contact. Despite some fiddle, this is precisely my sort of thing. My preview: spacebiff.com/2026/01/26/s...
I went to a boardgame night this evening at a pretty large brewery in Saint Paul. It's usually pretty quiet on Thursdays but I could barely find parking. When I got there I found out why. The place was packed with folks making protest signs for tomorrow. The atmosphere was infectious and joyful.

Some final numbers! Our group packed 350 boxes of apples and 667 bags of cereal. That's 14,586 pounds: nearly 14000 meals!
The studio is closed today in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. On this National Day of Service we encourage everyone to volunteer with community organizations near you. We spent a couple hours supporting Second Harvest Heartland and had a great time!
14 days until launch!

I am really excited for Cole and Kyle to be branching out this way. I have nothing but admiration for the skill and craft they bring to the field. I believe this change will best serve the audience of Oath and Arcs. I am excited to see what both organizations can accomplish. Good luck Cole and Kyle.
