It's not quite available for purchase yet, but here's a sneak peak at box art for the next Air Land & Sea (including both a classic and a Critters at War version).

Happy to announce that for the last few months I have been translating Kilovolt's The Coming Wave: Storm Over the Yellow Sea into English for VUCA Simulations. Although not my design, I am just happy to be assisting the company introducing a Chinese game into the Western market.

This weekend I had the privilege of grappling with some very big and difficult games with a spotlight on Michael Lorino's Imperial Elegy. As usual, the whole experience got me thinking about big games, what they demand of their players and the rewards to be found in their exploration. 🧵

Even searching for the Gif made me feel sick in the stomach.

Today we’re posting the prelaunch page for our next game: the second edition of An Infamous Traffic. There is so much to say about this game, and we’ll be talking about it quite a bit in the coming months, but I wanted to provide a little background here. 🧵 www.kickstarter.com/projects/col...

kickstarter.comComing soon: An Infamous Traffic: Second EditionA new edition of the acclaimed game of cutthroat capitalism in the nineteenth century opium trade.

Don't think I have seen a more tense stand-off between empires in any other game I have played before. Karamandids are stuck in the middle and not a clue what to do anymore.

Wasn't expecting myself to purchase it but...here we are. Had a fantastic chat with @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social about their game, being shy around Cole Werhle and living in China. Rulebook is one of the best I have ever seen in such a long time and a prime example how they should be done. #UKGE26

We didn't copy or get inspired by Inscryption and Balatro as I've been making solitaire games since 2007, but those games helped lay the groundwork for more people to be willing to try out our wacky solitaire game, and I'm very grateful for that!

With over 500 unique exquisitely designed cards, the upcoming Politik might very well have the most impressive set of cards I've ever seen in a board game. Simply mind-boggling how much effort was put into this. #boardgames
