πŸŽ²βœ‚οΈ design, writing, excuses for calling in sickβ€”they all sound perfect in my head. A shame my head isn’t familiar with the real world.

🎡 Curling Time 🎡 Making sweeping glamorous

🎡 Curling time, do not know the rules at all
Won’t stop me from raising a cheer
Curling time, there’s another stone thrown
How’d they make it steer? 🎡

Highlight of #BoardGameMarathon2026 is winning this game so I could say β€œI guess you’ve Kismet your match.”

This after ending Day One with our best Viticulture game, which Sharla won 27-26 while having only four workers to my six.

After my incredibly lucky run to start 5-0, we’ve been dead even over the next twelve games. Sharla wins what was probably the best Azul game for both of us, 94-88, to make it 12-7. #BoardGameMarathon2026

After 16 games yesterday, the married combatants return to Day Two of #BoardGameMarathon2026 somewhat haggard, yet determined and, more importantly, snack-laden.

I miss the days when Scollywood was glamorously referred to as Tanktoptown.

First, thanks to the @cardboardedison.com judges for the work they put in on the πŸŽ²βœ‚οΈcontest. We got thoughtful and likely actionable feedback on our game.

Now, can I get a hint as to how 5.8, 5.8, and 4.8 out of 7 should feel? C’mon, fess upβ€”do we start at 4.0 by just not misspelling β€œrule book”?

This is an interesting look into the judging process, but I’m still not sure if explaining my game via finger puppets was the best idea.

The only thing that would make these olympics better is more wegovy commercials.

Hoping you judged mine so I can blast COMPETENT! on the kickstarter.

Oh wait, you said *nearly* every game.

To be fair, maybe phd meant poorly-honed discourse.

More great games is good for the industry I guess, but as an entrant I was kind of hoping everyone else submitted a worse version of tic-tac-toe.
