🌊 The Treasure Ship of Zheng He is an EPIC game of route building, diplomacy, and pirate hunting. The latest big box game from award-winning designer Hisashi Hayashi has surpassed all my expectations.

I seriously love the Paper Apps games. I've played them all. Galaxy was my companion on my PAX Unplugged flight a week ago. Portable and easy to play on the go (I just use a dice app on my phone) each book is unique (some schmancy algorithm he made). They're quite clever and fun.

@gamefiend.bsky.social has great reply. As someone who occupies a 4th space (not just a player, but don’t design games & when someone asked if I make content I said “no”) I can say that there is no magical person/group whose recognition will change your life — but finding YOUR people is everything.
As someone who is new in this space, I definitely struggle with searching for validation in TTRPGs. Obviously it's bad for my mental health, but any tips that helped you learn that lesson?

complexity and complicated are separate concepts. 'players roll 3 dice on their fifth turn if the moon is waxing' is complicated without adding complexity.
a lot of modern games have gotten pretty good at adding complexity without too much cost, but also complexity is the price we pay for depth

When evaluating whether or not a board game is "good," how much do you weigh "ease of learning how to play it"?
On hour 2 of Earthborn Rangers and my great friend/guide through the game just realized we've been playing it wrong the entire time...

I was worried I overhyped Chicken Fried Dice (@urbanprogames.bsky.social ) and that my wife wouldn't like it as much as I did when we got to play it.
The response was "Best game we played this year"
Adding in the best card in the game, if I do say so myself.
