At least 24 girls reported killed in strike on school in southern Iran Dozens of children aged between seven and 12 hit in attack on Minab city

Don't miss the news that an Israeli missile destroyed an Iranian girls' primary school, murdering at least 25 girls between 7 and 12 years old. At this point it might just be muscle memory for the Israeli military.

Nice message! Lib dems are pretty infamous for nice messaging and describing themselves as a centrist party, and the one time in memory they got in to power they capitulated to their right wing partner and inflicted austerity on the UK.

5:04 here! I made some mistakes tho. Nicely done :D

Aghhhhh

Got to play a demo of this at Tabletop Scotland and it was brill. The spatial puzzle is satisfying & tricky, and cashing it in so you can slap down a giant demon felt amazing.

Amazing!!! They look great

100%. Have done before, will do again! Life is too short. I have never regretted ending a game early, but I have regretted not ending some.

Had to cut the wee guy off after his second weetabix yesterday at breakfast, and he definitely swore at me in baby talk (adjadajajaaADADJAJAAAA)

I've played Ark Nova once and felt the experience didn't merit the time, admin, input from all the players & table space. I suspect I would've enjoyed it more with a computer speeding things up!

Very excited to read it!

Please, a singular dice is called a douse.

It's managers all the way down passing info & objects and... what even is a card. Let's destroy this card when you play it and reinstantiate a new card into the play area manager

I spent a while making a digital card game.
The dream: I will make 100 cool cards! People can play them!
The reality: OK so the cards need to be in the users hand, so let's make a hand manager. That's responsible for spinning up a hand for each player & knowing what cards & what order they're in.

Getting grok to publicly strip a woman’s likeness online or alter her image isn’t just horrifying at the level of the individual, it’ll be used to get us fired, too. It’s a technique to keep us in the home popping out babies because we lost our teaching job when some guy sent porn of us to our boss.

Likely with a side of impulse buy from the super cheap end of my wishlist, either:
* Ascendant (combo wizard vs waves)
* Hexarchy (deckbuilding Civ)
* Brotato (Vampire survivors 2)
* Stronghold: Definitive Edition

Am trying to decide between
* Apocalypse Express
* The Horror at Highrook/ Deck of Haunts
* Cataclismo

All roguelikes where you build a train, haunted house, sweet 3d fortress.
Bonus option in consideration: Tactical Breach Wizards

Ooooh beautiful 😍

People need to start caring about others & not only those directly related/affected, & not only when it's transactional.

We *have* to have empathy beyond ourselves & immediate orbit of family, friends, neighborhood, & community. We have to care about total strangers who are in harm's way & in need

Thirded!

💼 I’m looking for work as a board game designer.
🌎 I’m open to in-person, hybrid or remote work.
⭐ I’ve previously worked at the Uzzle and made Abandon All Artichokes, Starry Night Sky, and other board games.

Hearts, spithead. Definitely thousands of hours of the latter!

The [worm] King is dead? 100% yes please
