I recently released a 20th anniversary episode of Board Games with Scott.
In this show, I talk about what I've been up to and Critical Games.

Our country house between Burford and Paris, Ontario is for sale. I'm downsizing and moving to south Cambridge, ON.

If you are in Ontario, go VOTE today.
I don't care if you don't think it will make a difference. Do it.
Oh, Screen Junkies had better not do the animated Hobbit dirty or we're gonna have words! youtu.be/8b0Aui7nHw0?si=bWco…

Know of board/card games that handle missing pieces, easy to teach, little down time, and have good table presence?
We are doing a project for libraries in low-resource settings to suggest games that will last 10 years.

Game Sale Time!
I'll be at this game sale in Toronto on Sept. 29: facebook.com/marketplace/ite… (Royal Canadian Legion, 243 Coxwell Ave, 11-2).
I am bringing these games for sale, but will negotiate ahead of time for multiple games to sell there by noon or near Brantford. Send PM.
I may have.. had a little rant.. in my class tonight talking about the difference in the game design between Werewolf and The Traitors.
ok yes I did have a rant.
(Not letting the good guys all win if any of them win encourages and rewards mediocre faithful play).
Review:
Pringles All Dressed needs to put more clothes on.

If you enjoy rhythm games, take a look at Super Crazy Rhythm Castle, which is free on the EPIC store right now (until Sept. 19). It's very silly and I'm enjoying it.

If you are a game designer, the episode from People Make Games about wargaming will give you a lot to consider.
As I make serious games, I've been invited by different governments to be involved. But even if you aren't directly involved, your games may be.

I wish reality TV shows would stop using the Prisoner's Dilemma. Most of the time, it goes poorly and ends the show on a rotten note for all involved.
Let the team win together and split the money for them, or have them fight it out to a single winner. Make TV that feels better.
While in PEI, I learned about using the PEI red dirt to make a tye-dye shirt. I started with a soak in soda ash and water (1 cup to 1 gallon), then used the red clay just like I would use dye. Came out pretty good!
