BGG post on how to teach Ra :
4) Civilization tiles must be different in order to score.
5) If the tile track is full, an auction is held before discarding the tiles.
Ra was hard to teach for me last weekend.
I made these notes for the future.
1) If you have no sun tiles in front of you, you cannot use your god tiles.
2) You can use multiple god tiles in a single turn.
3) Discarded/used tiles go in the box (not the bag).
HELLOOOOOO NERDS!
It is Playte's tenth year in business and they are going to be publishing some wild stuff all year long, so let's not hesitate, and follow this thread for all the upcoming titles in the first wave of Playte games for 2026!
I had to translate them as well.
I havenโt played most of these! Cheers โบ๏ธ
Excited to dig into em!

Decided to strip away the historical theme of this 5-year old cube rails game and start to think about:
"What if it's a cube rails game about tearing down an overly-industrialized society to create more green spaces?"
It opens up tons of interesting possibilities to explore. We'll see! #CCMF
It was so cool!
Love FIFA!
I need to play Hitman. My friend used to play that one and I would sit next to him to spectate.

My 9 games
I wrote about five of interesting up-and-coming game designers in Don't Eat the Meeples this week โย it was hard to cap the list at five, so I guess this is something I'll be revisiting. (My criteria for up-and-coming โย no games released more than five years ago.)
I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that itโs not become a question of โshould our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?โ but โto what extent?โ

I enjoyed reading this! Thanks for sharing ๐
What a challenging topic to tackle as a game design.
Penitent by @danbullock.bsky.social is full of difficult questions and few answers, tackling the prison reforms of the early 19th century and their consequences. In many ways it's a troublesome game, but those same details make it a worthwhile dissection. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/03/05/p...
If you pay Proton Mail for a service, they may hand over the payment data in response to a court order: www.404media.co/proton-mail-...
So, Anthropic isnโt the โethicalโ AI tool we decided it was huh?
And hey look at that, this automated killing machine that is based on probability not accuracy LIKELY caused the death of civilians.
You gotta be fucking kidding me
Congrats, Rosco!! ๐ค
I spy Aurum ๐
You need help tabling it?
Big mood
If you have significant crossover between games and Bowie fans in your life, the "remastered" version of BOWIE is now available for download on the BGG game page. Changes are mostly cosmetic, but the batshit premise is still the same. Enjoy! boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/25...

the board game Stellar Ventures with Wee Aquinas shouting "preview!"
the board game Gold Country with Wee Aquinas shouting "preview!"
the board game Almighty with Wee Aquinas shouting "preview!"
I enjoy helping projects become reality, so I've always written previews. But as prototypes become prettier, it's become harder to discern between finished titles and those still in development. Today I finally decided to just slap a big PREVIEW sticker on the appropriate articles.
Congrats on the engagement! ๐
Gotta celebrate your happy moments every which way you can.
Cheers! I m curious to see the final list of words from your session ๐
I love your work! ๐
