Alright folks, just posted our Ra retrospective, probably the most ambitious project I’ve ever done for the channel. If you care about historical context of #boardgames or just want to help us grow, this is one I’d really appreciate you sharing about. @25thcentury.games

Reviewers: if something doesn't seem right about a game, please take a moment to re-read the rules or even reach out to the publisher or designer for clarification before publishing a review. That extra step can save heartache and damaged reputation on both sides.
Richard Garfield's been explaining how luck & skill are not opposites for well over a decade, but I still encounter designers & players who haven't internalized this lesson. I suspect it's the number one reason people tend to underrate the amount of strategy in lighter games.
🏝️Behold... our next two charming, travel-friendly board games! Arribada and Seagrass launch on Kickstarter on April 7. Follow the link to be notified upon launch:

Love it! So who is the game designer Bill Ward?
In today's video I share some insights from judging entries from this year's @cardboardedison.com award, and some tips that you can apply to your own games, whether you enter them in a contest or not!

A piece of paper showing a 4x4 grid mostly filled with drawings of buildings. Next to the grid are building names next to polyomino shapes with squares of different colors.
I make games because I love every step of the process—the initial idea, the scrappy first prototype, the first playtest filled with glee and failure and hope.
Here’s my scrappy first prototype of Tiny Towns. [1/6]

I think a lot board gamers underestimate the depth of light games and overestimate the depth of heavy games. More moving parts does not necessarily mean a game has more strategy. It often just means there's more noisiness obscuring the impact of your decisions.
Great interview!
Toot toot!
Things are heating up! #2 on the hotness. Launches tomorrow, and I can't wait! What a treat to be able to collaborate with @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social, Brett J. Gilbert, and @mightyboards.bsky.social

In today's video I go over what I earnt as a full time game designer in 2025, comparing my income over the past few years and how it varies from game to game.
My aim has always been to increase transparency in the industry and help newer designers with what to expect.

An adorable valentine with a photo of Liz Davidson. Text reads: Would you be our creative director? To Liz, from Leder Games.
Y'all, SHE SAID YES!
Happy-almost-Valentine's-Day to our new Creative Director: Liz Davidson!
It cannot be overstated how much hobby gamers underestimate how unintuitive and difficult hobby games are to non-gamers.
This is perhaps even more true of professional game designers, publishers and reviewers/pundits, broadly speaking.
In 5 days, we launch For the Gods! ⚡️
We can’t wait to show you what this new area control game has to offer!
Expect family friendly play with tactical decisions, gorgeous components, and of course.. Mighty quality!
See you Feb 17 on Kickstarter? 😍

Really good read. 10 reasons why standard social media is terrible and good thoughts on leaning into the fediverse for info share.
This kind of article is exactly why I'm excited for Board Game Beat - I want more of this kind of critical thinking and ethical consideration in tabletop media.
Dan Thurot has facial hair now. Please don't try to have sex with him. He is too tired for that.
Hey, I have facial hair now. I was sitting in a church having a deep personal chat with Jesus, and I said, "Hey Jesus, should I grow a beard? Like your beard?" and Jesus said, "Yeah, Dan, grow that beard. Not because you want to. But because I, the Savior of the World, have ordained it."
Board Game Beat is officially launched & loaded with content...with more to come as I report on Spielwarenmesse!
