Heavy Cardboard
@heavycardboard
The podcast & YouTube channel dedicated to the discussion & enjoyment of medium & heavy strategy board games, wargames, & 18XX! Made possible by The Herd.
Still one of my favorite comments I’ve ever received on any of my videos.
Power still out. Eerie seeing the studio with only the light coming from the lingering storm outside. Obviously tonight’s show is postponed until next week. I will say that the UPS did its job protecting the computers, audio equipment, and cameras!😅
Does the aesthetic of most train games leave you feeling ‘meh’? The Old Prince 1871 from @grandtrunkgames.com just might be THE ONE, in that case! We are streaming it tomorrow at 1500 EDT. Come check it out for yourselves! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCln...
Today's mail day was AMAZING! The Old Prince, 1871, is the Pre-Production Copy from @grandtrunkgames.com and we're streaming it Monday afternoon in support of the crowdfunding. Keep an eye out for it, y'all!

HeavyCon 9 was a fantastic success and it seems everyone had a really great time! Over half have already pre-registered for next year, which is the ultimate litmus test. A HUGE THANK YOU to @allplay.bsky.social (& @azkadorkablegamer.bsky.social) for supporting the convention! #3Witches FTW!

Headed to Austin, Texas, to play poker at #TheLodgeCardClub and have a game day with Patrons this weekend. Also hoping to be on their live-stream on Monday afternoon. 🤞🏼 Anyone wanna meetup & come play some cards while I’m out west?

Quick Sunday blizzard dinner: One pot chicken thighs over rice, with a cilantro & roasted jalapeño sauce. Fiery and delicious on a ‘stay inside’ kinda night!
Is there interest in a cook w/me in about an hour? It'll be about a 1hr show to lead up to football time thereabouts. #CowboyCandy
Brunch at #HCHQ Homemade chili crisp on a fried egg and steamed rice.
I’m making up a batch of Chili Oil/Chili Crisp today and was gonna do a “Cook w/me” for my Patrons…but I was wondering if the rest of y’all would enjoy it as well? Let me know and if enough of y’all would, I’ll go live with y’all as well!
Current status: Organizing the wiring for the studio (finally). SEND HELP!
