When I bought a copy of Regicide a couple years ago, I needed a jewelers’ loupe to read the rules.
Well, would you look at that. That's Diversion Games in New Hampshire. Photos provided by @backwardscapgames.bsky.social. #boardgames 🎲✂️
This is a dumb rule. 😤 June 26, 2026 -100 points • RULE BREAKER 💀 🟪🟪🌟 🟦🟦🌟 🟩🟩🌟 🟨🟨🌟
I promise not to post these ad nauseam, but I feel like there might be something here because I get a real kick out of putting these together. Or maybe I'm seeing this ugly baby through the biased eyes of a creator. Hard to tell. It feels nice, though. #boardgames 🎲✂️
I've been fussing on a pentagonal tile-laying game for about 4 years, off and on. I wandered back toward it recently. I feel like I have more to offer the game after 4 years of failures and successes (and failures). I have ideas. I feel like I can usher it a bit closer to greatness. #boardgames 🎲✂️
After a couple days of reflection, I want to talk about these Threed cards a little more. I started working on these things seven months ago, and continued off and on throughout as time allowed. What we have today matches my initial vision perfectly, and... 🧵 1 of 3 #boardgames 🎲✂️
I used to post all my game plays each month, but I haven’t done in a long while because I had built out this WHOLE JavaScript thing with the @boardgamegeek.com API, but then they shut it off. I asked for permission to access the API again and got no response. Am sad. ☹️
Okay. Okayokayokay. Okay. For real this time. Really for reals. I believe we have *the final set* of Threed Art Cards. Special thanks for the critical eyes and gentle guidance of @rollplusfun.bsky.social @davidmasnato.com and Jamie Sabriel during these last few iterations. #boardgames 🎲✂️
Gonna start a YouTube channel that only releases weekly Top 10 videos of Top 10 #boardgames videos.
I got to test a three-player game of Folding Laundry While Spiders Crawl Around in Your Hair. It was a hot mess, half due to the fact that my Screentop build lacked some much-needed usability. The game was technically functional but not much fun. It can be fixed, though. #boardgames 🎲✂️
More work toward visual clarity on the Threed cards. I'm getting happier; still tweaking. I'm open to feedback if anything looks ill-fitting. #boardgames 🎲✂️
Still slowly piecing together Sinister Plots, my poisonous little tile-laying gardening game. 🌿☠️ When I get stuck on mechanisms, I start making almost-imaginary art and graphics. It's procrastination, but also helps me define what I'm trying to create. #boardgames 🎲✂️
We've got a Screentop build for the hit new board game that everybody's talking about all the time, Folding Laundry While Spiders Crawl Around in Your Hair. Honestly, I could probably make fifteen games out of a deck of cards with suits and tokens. There's a lot of flexibility here. #boardgames 🎲✂️
Not the best hand, but if I can get rid of these pants and acquire another shirt, I might have good enough laundry to get some of these spiders out of my hair. #boardgames 🎲✂️
