  1. So, what exactly makes a game great?

    For my 120th issue, I wrote about the elements that come together to make a game feel special, and a lovely little print-and-play project that seems to have covered all grounds!

  2. This #aggro #tempo #Hearthstone #meta makes me want to #puke.

    For several #expansions now it has been nothing but aggro tempo, over and over. By turn 7 or turn 8 you are already dead, sometimes even turn 6. #Brainless in my eyes.

    Every other #CCG out there manages to build a #healthy meta, only the one with the biggest #budget and the most #resources keeps failing at it. #Pathetic. How is a game this #popular and this #funded still stuck in the same boring #curve every single set? Give me #control, give me #combo, give me some actual #decisions.

  3. What's the weirdest thing you've ever replaced a board game piece with?

    A pawn was missing from 7 Wonders: Duel so we had to play with a packet of butter at the board game café 😂. No pieces were buttered during the game but I did enjoy the extra silliness!

  5. A maze. A villain. A bunch of trapped innocent critters.

    A game where bedtime is survival!

    Say hello to 7 To Midnight, where you're a superhero trying to save critters from becoming Zumoffa's dinner by putting them to sleep. Do you have what it takes to make your way through the maze and save the day in 7 minutes?

  6. Design Diaries – In Medias Res – Entry 1

    Maybe I'll just hit right off with a definition: in me·​di·​as res in-ˈme-dē-əs-ˈrās  -ˈmē-dē-əs-ˈrēz  : in or into the middle of a narrative or plot https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/in%20medias%20res The hero of the story is already in the thick of it. Maybe running from some big bads. Maybe the cards didn't fall like she needed it to fall? And you, dear reader, are dropped right in the middle of it. Last year, maybe more, the idea for a game came a […]

  7. After mapping Central Europe and Dartmoor's moors, Lookout Games sends its award-winning Forest Shuffle series across the Atlantic to the Great Smoky Mountains, reworking the card-drafting around water and stocking the slopes with black bears and bobcats. #ForestShuffle #CardGames #BoardGames
