Hey now. Jays fans shouldn’t be casting shade at this particular moment.

I'm always so happy to see Mark's excellent setup/reinforcement charts. I wish more publishers would follow this example.

Unboxing Liberty or Death

Volume 5 in GMT's COIN series. Designer Harold Buchanan looks at the American Revolution as not simply a two-sided affair. We have the British and the Patriots, but also the French and the Native Americans.

Really looking forward to Italy 43, and also really hoping Mark does another Italy 43 featuring the COmmonwealth side of the advance up the boot.

Introduce yourself using a food you refuse to eat, a film you’ll never watch again, a song you can’t stand

1. Eggplant is slimy boogers. Yes, even the way "you" make it.

2. Last of the Mohicans is the only film I've ever walked out of.

3. Stairway to Heaven.

1. Pineapple is really repulsive.

2. "Salo" was absolutely the worst date night I ever had

3. There were some strong contenders but then Samhain made me listen to Temporary Secretary

I'm vegan.

I'll sit through dreadful films for fun. But rarely watch things twice.

I really don't like defining myself by things I don't like, but Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. Apparently.

The Band of Brothers series goes to the South Pacific and we get the addition of the Japanese. It's a stand alone game that doesn't require previous Band of Brothers products to play.

Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick

A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi

Join us tonight for Live Cardboard #17

Games that fired other games. Or did they?

Do you only keep one game on a topic? If so, which one? Or do you like multiple takes on the same topic? We'll talk about it all.

Tonight, 9E/6P

Live Cardboard 17 - Games that fired other games. Or did they? - YouTube

Sometimes when a new game comes out, you'll see someone say that it makes their previous game on the topic irrelevant, that the previous game has been fired....

Best case scenario, that’s a good thing as it didn’t prevent getting to where we are now.

This is the home of Diane Goodstein, a federal judge who ruled against Trump last month.

Members of her family were still inside, but survived by jumping out windows.

Just yesterday Stephen Miller claimed left wing judges were terrorists & state power was needed to stop them.

Check out this Kim Kangar design from 2009 on the Algerian War of Independence. As you would expect with a Kangar design, the map and counters are beautiful (he's the artist as well as the designer).
