Steve Jackson Games, CEO discusses in detail what the new tariffs mean for the boardgame/TTRPG industry
Good news everyone! The Dumb Shit That Just Happened happened in April so I didn't have to suddenly update the introductory blurb for this overview of my gaming in March! 10 and three halves #boardgames new to me, bringing me to 30.0/100 for the year.
Blast from the past: Still kind of just chillin', tbh
Favorite new-to-me: ??????: ???? ?? ??? ?????

Omg, why did I only learn about https://tabletopaudio.com/ today?!
Perfect timing though, just yesterday I thought "some ambience would be nice now" while playing my #Starforged campaign, and this morning while driving to the gym I heard this page mentioned on the Errant Adventures podcast
My wife works in an industry where a lot of small businesses were wiped out by supply chain collapse following the COVID pandemic, so I've seen what large-scale dieoffs look like.
These tariffs will be worse than that.
I repeat: These tariffs will do greater economic damage and subsequent suffering than a global pandemic that has killed and maimed millions.
FUCK everyone who could have stopped this but didn't.
#QuestionOfTheDay what's an obscure/indie/forgotten gem that you want to talk about? talk about it!
you can respond to this question multiple times to talk about many things if you want!
Is there any appetite for heavier #boardgames at #phptek this year? On the opposite of heavy, I'm *definitely* bringing Flip 7, which is an excellent casual game, but I'd love to bring something much meatier, too.

A Space Marine painted in the colours of Muscular Dystrophy UK for a charity bike ride a fellow YouTuber is doing. This guy is going to travel to every county in the UK! There will be more details on how to support (and even get your hands on this model) later.
@icecolbeveridge Compare the technique of "tewari", from the game of Go, which asks, "Would these moves have been effective if played in a different order?"
(This makes more sense for Go, a game of placement, than for Chess, a game of movement.)
Played 3 new games this month:
1. Back to the future: Back in time -- I love the theme and design, but not sure about the replayability. Might be fine with different players. 7.5/10.
2. ito (it0?) -- simple rules but challenging to get it right! Fun to learn how others think about stuff. Everyone's scale is so different! 8/10.
3. Beacon Patrol -- not bad but nothing too exciting. Having a solo mode is nice though. 6/10.

#QuestionOfTheDay who are your top 5 favorite animal/creature companions in fiction?
Bonus if you give why
Finally had my first game of Ark Nova at GOBfest here in #yeg. An excellent game for those who like medium to heavy Euros. A friend was correct when they said there were many paths to winning, which allows you the opportunity to pivot if the cards in hand were betraying your original strategy. I don’t have the kind of gaming group to bring it to the table but I’ll be quick to recommend it to those who enjoy a 3-hour strategy session. #boardgames
It's been a while but we played "The Jungle Awakens" 2 months ago to get used to the madness again. The scenario was pretty straightforward and predictable, and while enjoyable, is probably better suited for introducing people to #MansionsofMadness.
