This is by no means a definitive list of board game podcasts—there are so many amazing creators out there! I’d love to hear your recommendations.
Zoominoes is Balatro for kids. Also, for me. I’m not a kid.

I let my BGA premium lapse and now I’m back here in coach with the rest of you—why does it take forever to get a game?!

Each year we make a small donation, on behalf of our supporters, to a charity tied to our project. Any recommendations for good causes in the board game space? 🎲✂️

I say all of that, and then @torviktorsson.bsky.social, #bff, whips up a set of awesome icons that raise the bar for our PlayingCards room.

We haven’t shown off the PlayingCards room in a bit—pop in and try the game! Rules are inside, feedback optional.

Our Season 2 finale is about to drop. We’ve spent all year getting ready to take a game to crowdfunding—but are we actually ready?

I’m reflecting on what it means to be a game designer. I’ll share my definition soon—curious what it means to you? 🎲✂️

Not sure which direction to go? Trying to go in every direction hasn’t helped. So honestly… I’m not sure.
