It's a brain burner! Maybe pop some ibuprofen before diving in. Good luck!
Played it last night. It's a lot of euro fun! And very cute!

A god never shows you the whole picture.
It's always cryptic with them.

We got jealous of pax goers so had a little mini gaming con Saturday. And finally got my hands on the fellowship promo! I really wish Asmodee made this kind of stuff easier to get ahold of. Really liking Iliad and rebirth! Harvest is FANTASTIC solo, and we were tired but had fun at 4p!

yeah some kind of bot account. what's the point of that? people are so odd.

my character would look something like this probably.

Imagine with me, a shittier version of these cute 3D things. (I have played around with blender, I believe I could make something, but polish would be... Lacking)

Ok here's the pitch. It's a visual podcast. The hosts are small toys that live in a boardgame shelf. Animation is very minimal and choppy but cute. They record their owners chatting about the games they play and use the audio as they put on a little show. Low poly/res 3D. Monthly.

Hmm something is off with the warehouse sale page. Maybe it's a little early or too late for em.

Agreed. I took my copy a step further and cut the box and reshaped it to fit a deck of sleeves cards. Now it's a functional box. I get why, but wish publishers didn't prioritize retail for boxes. There's so many funky box sizes and shapes out there that look good on a hanger and suck on a shelf.
November 17, 2025 at 2:01 PM
How important is box size for you? We're gonna stick with 2 sizes; "large" and "small" (9x9" and 5x9") as both of these sizes fit in my backpack and I know that games that are portable get taken to places and are more often played. (More chances anyways)
Is there too small? Too large of a box?

ha!
ratings are such a weird thing. As a designer, who knows people look at the average, i don't think i've rated anything below a 5. I enjoy most games I play. I treat ratings like a 'joy' meter with a mix of 'that's clever, i should have thought of that first'. People only bring me good stuff. 😘😜

The eyes have seen you. Scroll faster, but you can not hide. For you are caught within a blink.

Somewhere between D&D and whatever the king's dilemma is. you don't really do a lot of imagination work in MIRU. But if def leans in that direction I think. I think of it like an analog Zelda game ha.

And the day ends here. Did a little rewrite on the actions/rules, think i have an okay approach/twist. There's phases like an 18xx, but you (the company) will get 4-5 actions each round. You're also an investor, in that phase you'll buy goods to deliver. company with the most cash in the end wins.

some early saturday design work. Expanding on this mancala train idea I had some time ago. What if something like Ostia and 18xx had a baby. (Elseware Express vol2?) Idea is on your turn, you pick an action, train tokens on it are X. 'buy x, build x, etc' then you mancala them around the track.

Through DLC, @bgstatsapp.bsky.social lets you see your cost per play for #boardgames. This hobby is cheaper than going to the movies, but only if you play a game 2+ times. 😜
Do you aim for a certain cost per play? Is this too much detail and eyes should be averted?
What's your best bang for buck?

Life is just a blink. We get a handful of years and it's gone. Our time here is so fleeting on this floating speck in space. We must promise our limited corpses a few pleasures while we're conscious to enjoy them.
Get a slice of Baja Blast tropical lime pie. You're alive. You earned it.

Imagine these symbols were presented to you in a cyberpunk setting. What would you think they represent? Say left to right, top to bottom. My best guess in the reply. Curious what you would think is appropriate in the cyberpunk setting. (But also, appropriate for 'play' in a game)

You can see how similar the fonts Arial and Helvetica are here. Arial, the common font on every computer was made to be an affordable alternative to Helvetica. The differences are subtle!
