Abroad on #1 The Most Anticipated board games of Essen SPIEL according to The Dice Tower! REMINDER: the US print run is sold out and we are working on reprint!

I was a little bit reluctant to book a lot of meetings during Essen because I didn’t know if I was going to have prototypes to show. Now I have prototypes and some free time. If you’re a non-french publisher and want to meet, send me a DM!

I've been working on this procedurally generated card game with Christian Kudahl and @scorpionmasque.bsky.social for over 3 years now! Very excited for it to become reality late next year. Check out the fantastic art by @wellmaus.bsky.social !

I have not read a better apology in a long time.

Abroad is having a nice time in the @boardgamegeek.com hotness sandwitched by the best cover of recent history and the 1 LoTR game I really want to play.

Building a list of 🍁Canadian BIPOC board game content creators (EN/FR)! If you know folks who should be included, drop their names below or send them to saltandsassgames@gmail.com. Thak you so much! 😊

Has someone compiled a list of successful games of the last year(s) which are NOT engine building worker placement deck building I sometimes would love to filter the #spiel26 preview or other lists excluding those. I love these mechanics. But sometimes they feel like they limit creativity

Embedded in this is the maxim that you should seek feedback from your playtesters, but not solutions 🎲✂️

Africa’s longest-running board game convention is hoping to use its 10th anniversary to put more direct support behind the continent’s emerging designers, with plans for a new grant programme if its latest crowdfund reaches $20,000: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20... @nibcard.bsky.social

One major purpose of TTGDA is to help tabletop game designers negotiate better publishing contracts. We just released the rubric of what we look for -- and info on how different publishers scored on the rubric. Soon we will also release a model contract. More at www.ttgda.org/contract-bas...

Philosophers used to moan about the assumption that things are only real if you could measure them. But honestly that’s a lot better than the assumption now that things are only real if you can monetise them.

Do white people ever think, "I wonder what it would be like if every book I read or TV or film only had Black people in them?" Just constantly inundated with images of Black people, in our vastness. Probably not, but, I dare say, it would change how they view everything. Representation matters.

You can now pre-order our new game, Northgreen here: gamebuilders.de/spiele/north... Beautifully illustrated by #LukasSiegmon The pre-order price is 65 EUR. Pre-orders are available for pickup only at @spiel_messe 2026 in Essen (Booth 4 J 500)! #Boardgames #Northgreen #TheGameBuilders #Spiel26

I highly recommend this game! And all publishers to keep an eye on @jeffgrisenthwaite.bsky.social

The content of this video should be mandatory education for everybody who wants to interact with other human beings. Beside all the science in it, it boils down to a very good approach in life: Trust people when they tell you, who they are. Not only in terms of identity. youtu.be/B-JPnZg2ZYk?...
