New comic! Bringing loads of games to game night and only ending up playing one or two small ones... Who else does this? 😂

👀 You can read this week's blog post (it's a long one!) at

Two panels. Above the left, it says: "Games I brought to game night". We see Heinze carrying a very big and heavy backpack holding at least 15 games (it shows the outlines of the boxes through the bag). Above the right panel it says: "Games we played at game night". We see the same image of Heinze carrying the back pack with only one small game highlighted in the entire backpack.

I found SB’s videos when looking up Rainworld Lets Plays. Dozens of watched videos later I found out she is the girlfriend of one of my favorite designers (Amabel Holland) and it was a fascinating mashup of worlds :) I highly recommend her stuff, the Animal Well series in particular.

Amabel Holland @amabel.bsky.social · 24d

One secret to my partnership with @sbmakesstuff.bsky.social is we both admire the hell out of each other's work, independent of being madly in love with each other. So I wanna take a moment to tell you what I love about her work & why it's worth supporting.🧵

I make gameplay videos with the goal of introducing people to interesting new games and helping people get better at the games they already love. I play a lot of strategy games, especially 4X games in...

I played the upcoming space rails game from @tabletapasgames.bsky.social last night and had a blast. Streamlined rules for what is ultimately a mid point between a cube rails and 18xx game. Look for this when it hits crowdfunding!

Oh a box of train games just showed up at my house! #CCMF

A shipping box filled with individually boxed card games. The cover of each box has card rails exchange written on it, and has an image of a train going through the mountains.
