Guys night out yesterday to watch Brad Pitt drive an F1 car for 3 hours. Absolutely loved it! 😍
The IMAX experience was worth every penny. Cinematography and sound were amazing!

When my mind goes places I don’t want, I always use the sea to refocus. Water is my happy place.
Even when the water in Copenhagen is 14C (57F for my countrymen) at 6am 🥶and you’re surrounded by a bunch of naked older men doing deep squat exercises on the pier 🫣

With my boys headed to the #fabtcg Danish National Championship in Aarhus! 😁 I have some bittersweet memories of my last trip to this city ❤️
Win or lose, I love hanging out with these fools. Singing Whitney Houston in a tiny electric car - doesn’t get better than that

Big thanks to our amazing partners, Asmodee Nordics, for letting us participate in their annual retailer day! 😊
Great to talk with so many new and old friends and showcase AQUA and HUTAN.
If you look “closely” you’ll see a sneak peek at the last game in the nature trilogy 😉 #boardgames

Had a great start to the newest #fabtcg set!
The universe is telling me I’m a necromancer 💀 ❤️
Definitely a few majestic cards that feel scarce but let’s see. Looking forward to two more pre-releases this weekend 😁

Tonight, we Bone’in!
Printed out some proxies to try the new #fabtcg High Seas set.
Really enjoying these new heroes! They’re going to cost a small fortune to build - which I guess is on point thematically 😬
I’ll let you take a guess which card is not a proxy 🤣

While I don’t celebrate many of these holidays, they always make me miss my family back home. Especially when I am alone here.
Thankful for my friends who agreed to keep me company and share the holiday with some #boardgames
We played My Father’s Work and Marvel United: X-men!

That’s a wrap on my first ever #fabtcg Pro Tour 😁
Amazing experiences & great people! I did not perform as well as I would have liked but I learned so much playing against the best in the world. Hungry for more competition at this level. I’ll be back! 💪
But sooo exhausted 🥵

After 30 years of playing TCGs, I finally qualified for my first ever Pro Tour at the ripe age of 42 and…in my favorite city in the world!
I am wildly unprepared but buzzing to get started tomorrow 🤣💪
Got my deck & my lucky charm - LFG! 😁 #fabtcg

Had a night with my little guy yesterday - he wanted to go see the Minecraft movie.
I was never in to Minecraft so some of the references went over my head but it was entertaining and the cast was great!
Jack Black is a national treasure - protect this guy at all costs!

Anyone who knows me understands how grueling this challenge has been for me!
And will also be just as shocked as me that I’ve managed to get this far 😲😂
But…I’ve happily reached Day #40 on my no alcohol self-challenge. Let’s keep going! 🥳

Woke up w/ Cindra in my bag for our #fabtcg Road to Nationals tournament. In the shower, I radically pivoted to Vynnset - my fave hero but I had not played her since before ROS 😬
That weird hunch paid off as I went 7-1 & took down the tournament 😁
So happy to get LL points for the Queen 💜

We’re back from Nuremberg Toy Fair and our next Sidekick Games family game (a co-design of mine) was very well received.
In a business with so many ups and downs, it is an absolute joy to come home and receive these kind of emails from publishing partners 😁
More to come soon on this #boardgame!

I don’t often go to the movies but I treated myself to an afternoon showing of #Wicked! 😁
I have never seen the broadway show but I’m a sucker for a good musical and this one didn’t disappoint. The leads were excellent and the visuals were very well done.

Had a blast at our #fabtcg Armory tonight playing Ultimate Pit Fight—silly fun all around!
My 10-year-old son joined me, coming straight from school dressed for success 🤣 … and it worked! He won the event! Proud Papa moment.
I played Melody (love her playstyle), while he crushed it with Brevant.

6 hours in the lab laser cutting out 15+ prototypes…which is about 1000 elephant meeples 😮 🐘
Access to the lab has really raised our proto game though and allows us to clearly communicate our product vision to partners in a tangible, time/cost efficient way #boardgames #gamedev
