A quick video to say CHEERS - SU&SD donors are what keeps the site alive! Tom did you a special painting to say thanks, no - you can't keep it.

Board games are for everybody. Not everybody has a ton of disposable income. For that reason, price will always be a factor in SU&SD reviews.

Arcs is one of the finest board games yet made; a staggering achievement from a studio at the height of its powers.

Not really the best time for celebrations, but the whole team is quietly chuffed that SU&SD has hit an amazing milestone - 250,000 YouTube subcribers! Thank you so much!

This is wholly unacceptable -

need to immediately rethink their moderation policies and have severe conversations with their current moderation team.
I'm getting asked about what happened with

regarding moderation of

global chat and the suppression of gay/trans identities, so I put together these screenshots and answers.

Where does play end? Can table games change minds? Who gets to write, and rewrite history? This is a game that pitches hard questions; the answers to which are dredged from investigation and reflection.

This is actually a rumour we've heard before, and from a shockingly renowned figure in the board game scene. Thread incoming!
I keep seeing
@ShutUpShow
on various threads referred to as the "hipsters of board games" for supposedly hating on popular or good board games for no reason other than to create a buzz. What's up with that?

Campaign Arcs is a bonkers recontextualisation of the base game - an expansive, day-filling event that breaks entirely new ground. It might just be the very best ‘space opera’ that money can buy.

Aaaand it’s been shut down by
@kickstarter
. Thank heavens, that would have set a *terrible* precedent.
This is nuts. A miniatures heavy Kickstarter (with 35 hours left) has stolen huge sections of its rules word-for-word from other games, and still threatens to rake in $120,000.

That said, we'd like to state that one of the reasons we felt OK asking if Hansa Teutonica was "The Best Euro Ever?" is that the reprint kept the price low.
We could have recommended the Euro Classics line more if they hadn't taken classics and increased the price. (2/2)

In other words, there's no point spending tens of hours on a review that says "That game you probably haven't heard of, and weren't going to buy? Don't buy it!" That's not a good use of our donors' money.

Shikoku 1889 is a robust and beautifully produced game that, well, might not be for everyone? That’s probably because of all the spreadsheets, but we promise there’s a devious GAME under the hood that’s oh-so-satisfying for ‘number enjoyers’.
