Tara Newton, AKA Cyborg Queen

Remember: no matter who is in the Oval Office, you can always fight for change at the state and local levels.

Just look at New Mexico.

New Mexico learned from that man's first term that his policies meant people would suffer. So NM developed a plan. This is only the beginning.

Sometimes when I'm writing flavor text for a boardgame, I look things up to be sure I'm using a word or phrase correctly. Because of that, my search history can get a bit... "weird".

We boardgame industry people are hurting. 😞

Poll: Finnish publisher Lautapelit.fi has a couple of large games in its catalog (Agemonia & Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy), and with shipments nearly ready for the U.S., it's wondering how a 20% tariff will affect potential buyers.

I love exploding my pot in Quacks! I get so far behind, but I get so many rats. 🐀 Of course, then I stop exploding after a while so I can catch up with points. 😄

For all my boardgame peeps: good lists for you to either follow or search.

Oh wow. Thanks! I love what I do, and I'm thankful for all the opportunities that keep coming my way. I do this full time, through word of mouth alone. 💜

If you have room on the "other industry roles" list, I'd appreciate the add. I am a freelance rulebook editor and tester. I also assist in development.

I, for one, appreciate your sacrifice. Better you do it than I. 😄

Explain your user name:

I have metal splints on all my fingers, & I used to wear a metal waist-to-knee brace so I could walk. I am now an electric wheelchair user, so the leg brace is gone, but the finger splints are still necessary. Since my wheelchair is electric, I am now battery-powered!

A cream colored standard poodle is wearing a charcoal colored sweater with red and white stripes on the collar and bottom. He is lying on a gray couch in front of a space heater. Blankets and boardgames are in the background.

I have decided that chips and salsa are a meal, and watching my dog happily spend his day in front of the space heater is good for my mental well-being.

It was great working with you all! I hope I get the opportunity to work with you again.

Exactly this! I have to decline most conventions because I can't find trustworthy childcare.

New followers: Firstly, welcome and secondly, I hope you like boardgames. You can find me playing boardgames, editing rulebooks, or enjoying rolling through life in the Land of Enchantment. ♿️👩‍🦼

Please add me if there's still room. I'm a new New Mexican, and I'm happy to have finally found my forever home.

Ooooo I'm going to check those out! I will happily take ALL the suggestions. ❤️

Gorgeous! I'm jealous of your white deck. I have the original black.
Do you have any point and click type games you love? I want to add to my deck-compatible library. My hands can't do anything that requires a rapid response or heavy coordination.

Both, yes!

FB doing FB. Disgusting as always.

Hello, all! I'm Tara, AKA Cyborg Queen ♿️.
- I am a board game editor, tester, and developer.
- I love Arkham Horror LCG. If a game has donkey meeples, I will always stack them, arrange them, and yell, "DONKEY!" (ala Shrek) every time I can.
- I enjoy the quiet and the scent of night.

Thanks for noticing.

We moved, so all our games were in totes. Finally got the shelves put up and the totes unloaded. I'll excited to play whatever game I can get to the table. For now, I'm happy staring at all my games that I haven't seen in months.

The picture shows a room with shelves lining the walls. All the shelves are filled with boardgames, plus 1 TV and some video consoles. The top of a gray couch appears in the foreground. A dog's nose and eyes are visible over the edge.

Let's play a game: Find the dog.
