Get yourself a hater AND a lover

I said it before, but it’s really fun to discover when someone you know for board games has some other endeavor you had no idea about. Not just a great designer and publisher, @perplext.com also makes ridiculously good popcorn. What other creative endeavours are you all secretly doing?!

Mark's main course of the week is Star Ocean First Departure R, another chance to revisit the purpose of remasters and quality of life features in RPGs but this time in Space!

On our most recent episode, Daniel has been exploring the front lines of 2 player games across screen and table. Popucom mixes cooperative puzzle platforming with a splash of match-3. Toy Battle is an accessible skirmish of small soldiers for small players.

Very good paper on this by Pratchett & Vimes (1993)

The Ukrainian publisher of board games including Catan and Exploding Kittens is fighting for its existence after a Russian missile strike destroyed its warehouse, wiping out its entire stock of about 200,000 games: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...

Oh no. Exactly what everyone who knows literally *anything* about it said would happen did in fact happen. Wow. So now all the other know nothings in other governments around the world who are planning on giving away everyone's privacy will stop and think for a single second, right? Right??

We've finally had a chance to catch up post-summer vacation and restock our list of games to discuss on the upcoming episode.
