People, please start using CamelCase (aka PascalCase) to break apart words in #HashTags.

It makes it easier to read and more #accessible. Single words are OK to keep lowercase, unless they are proper nouns 😉
It makes it easier to review if you're a #MastoAdmin.

#CamelCaseAllTheHashTags

@jamesbritt also shared you can #Use_The_Underbar!

Titan is one of the first board games I ever bought, back in 1982. We still get it out from time to time, and tonight my wife and adult sons are slowly crushing me…love this game.

The military budget is $858 billion.

It’s larger than the military spending of the next nine largest military powers in the world combined.

Over half of it is going to for-profit companies.

This is the military-industrial complex that Dwight Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

Going to try a thing: white guys, please boost!!

Comment here if you're: queer and/or BIPOC and you are interested in talking about #TTRPGs #GameDesign #LARP or #games #art so we can create some discoverability for marginalized folks trying to find community with each other

I'll start! I'm a queer trans nb person who designs and publishes tabletop games and LARPs about gender and queerness. My jam lately has been happy games about queer people finding love and community

My mom's moving and has found some childhood toys and #games. Stratego stands the test of time!

@zhoekstra go for it! There's been a few companies that do this. Great Western Trail is a prime example :)

We're trying to play thru and complete the full campaign from Miller Zoo, a #boardgame I'm importing next year for Hachette, during this holiday break. It's a co-op game about caring for a zoo and the art of the animals is amazing. These are all real animals at the real Miller Zoo!

Photo of the postcards i clouded in the game, showing beautiful illustrations of some of the animals at the zoo. A wolf, zebra, and tortoise are the animals depicted

I want to wish everyone in #boardgames and everyone else a very, very warm, safe and cozy holiday season. Rest, heal, recover. Photo by Evelin Horvath

Steve and I are camping in our van on what will likely be the coldest night of the year, in the mountains after we had a great day hiking in snow and visiting hot springs. We're playing Eyelet as we cuddle under a blanket on the bench.

It's a two player threading game by Amabel Holland. It's a solid table-less game that's simple and very, do what you can with what you have. Perfect after a long day of work, hikes, and hot springs.

Happy Winter Solstice! This is the winter holiday I celebrate personally 🥰​ So go put some (appropriate) food out for the critters, treat yourself softly and kindly, and maybe write down something you regret from this year and burn it. Be gentle to yourself at the close of this year and greet tomorrow knowing there will only be more light from here til summer 😘​

Hey, I'm Peter and I draw comics (and also illustrations) of mostly fantasy and sci-fi stuff! I've worked on the Avatar comics, written some Dragon Prince graphic novels, and also a few creator-owned things.

@freakazoid er, sorta. For pst, Elon's home timezone, it's been about 13 hours, from 7:23pm to 8:48am. So not really a day. More like a sleep when most people weren't awake

Also, the Twitter algorithm means most people will miss the backtracking 😂

Got invited out to share a bottle of wine so i brought along the Suspects demo. Nothing like an evening drinking wine and solving crimes.

@wtmort this is a very late reply but Applejack and Split have been the outlines for enjoyment so far! Oh and Pantarei

Steve and i did another board game collection evaluation to get back to "everything on a shelf." We've got about 15 titles that'll be looking for new homes, but in the shuffle we finally played this little gem we got from SPIEL. One Card Dungeon from Little Rocket Games.

Designed by Barny Skinner, this little game surprised us in being an interesting rogue-like experience that succeeds with only one card... And 12 dice. But it was a delightful solo game to co-op play during dinner.

@dungeonlibrary so many! My partner and i mostly play two-player and the majority of our 300+ collection plays great at just 2. But i digress! Jaipur, any version of Patchwork, Aqualin, Mandala, Morels, Unmatched, Caesar!, Holmes Sherlock & Mycroft, Pantareo and Quarto are some of our 45 min or less favs atm
