This is a feed of designers bringing their games to Indie Games Night Market at PAX Unplugged 2025 next week. Right now, it is chock full of folks cutting, printing, boxing, and otherwise willing their games to life.

One of the many reasons I love Stonemaier Games. They love their fans and support and it shows. Example A below
To make the new Wingspan promo packs more retailer-friendly, we created a display box that allows them to sell all 6 packs (25 completely new birds in each pack) together or as individual packs. stonemaiergames.com/webstore-vs-...

Happy Vantage Day to those who celebrate!
And no this is not an ad (ad-Vantage?). But if @stonemaiergames.com wants to send me something…lol
Really excited to crash into this world over and over again. It looks like as much an experience as a game. I really admire the boldness of the design.

Trying my friend's newest kickstarter #boardgame, Positano from Slugfest Games, with three players tonight. Designed by Jeff Grisenthwaite, Art by Beth Trott. Also shown is the 5/6 player expansion, which includes a four-player variant. #BoardGames #TabletopGames

Looks like @elizhargrave.bsky.social's next game design is another winner! Can't wait to see more to come about Sanibel and other games she's working on.
Today Avalon Hill announced my next game, Sanibel. You're walking down a beach (Tokaido style), picking up shell tiles and placing them for points. Available early 2026, sneak peek at Gen Con.
Check out this video, in which I am ridiculously windblown on Sanibel Island: youtu.be/w3WMqEiuP1E?...

Ended the game night with The Gardens of the Alhambra from Queen Games. Love this variation of #Alhambra. It's great to find new to me games that aren't always the newest or hottest game on the market. #BoardGames #TableTopGames

The Beauty of Northwest Tiles - Cascadia App Review #boardgames @flatoutgames.bsky.social <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:dpnbk4rgkbf2543ggcgl4xqh" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky-mention">@alderaceg.bsky.social @alderaceg.bsky.social
The Beauty of Northwest Tiles – Cascadia App Review
(this is going to be a review of both the game and the app, since I've played the tabletop game a bunch too) There's something peaceful about a good tile-laying game where everybody is creating their own habitat for God's natural wonders, both flora and fauna. It's especially peaceful when it can also be done in a lunch time at the office!

Terraforming Mars is quickly becoming my "let's bring it to the table as much as possible" game pick lately. However, it's one of those games i can only enjoy it if i okay with certain people. What do you think of this game?
