Hello, fellow cardboard nerds! I recently moved and am looking to set up a board game night at a public space (library, rec center, etc.). If you run or take part in a well-organized game night/group, I'd love pointers on how to keep things moving smoothly and everyone happy.

Need a #boardgame rec! Family game, easy to play over FaceTime or other video, not hardcore gamers, co-op preferably but we also embrace bragging rights. Aaaaaand GO!

As always, @elizhargrave offers smart and pertinent comments backed up with data and examples. One of the reasons she's among my favorite designers. teapaw.org/elizhargrave/status/16…
I’ve been thinking about whether/how to comment on Ryan Dancey’s tweet beyond what I said in the moment. For me the biggest whiplash was the impression he gave that AEG thinks women don’t make publishable games - because that clearly isn’t true in practice.

Hi, #boardgame #designers! Here is really cool, really useful information! teapaw.org/erik_a_sunden/status/1…
I've looked at the most common traits of the boardgames in the top 1000 ranked games of BGG. I've calculated what fraction of games have a certain trait for the top 100, top 500 and top 1000.
Hand management, solo rules, and variable player powers are the most frequent traits.

And of course, now the urge is upon me to pick up my old Calligraphy #boardgame design and give it another whack! #lifegoals #gamedesign
