How to explain it: Ra. | Ra Some games I've taught so many times that I've honed a fairly consistent teaching script. RA == In text form, this looks very lengthy, but it takes only 15 minutes to go through it all. Throughout ...

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).

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

I need to play Hitman. My friend used to play that one and I would sit next to him to spectate.

Five up-and-coming designers to know These five newcomer designers are doing fascinating things in board games.

I wrote about five of interesting up-and-coming game designers in Don't Eat the Meeples this week โ€”ย 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 โ€”ย no games released more than five years ago.)

Where things stand with the Department of War A statement from Dario Amodei

I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that itโ€™s not become a question of โ€œshould our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?โ€ but โ€œto what extent?โ€

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 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...

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.
