This week my #boardgames hot tip on ABC Radio Brisbane was Turing Machine, by Fabien Gridel & Yoann Levet, from Scorpion Masqué. For those of us who wish Cluedo was about a billion times harder! Definitely not for everyone (but very much for me) and to the delight of @fraser it works well as a solo game so he doesn't have to play it with me.

Seriously, this is not a "people can disagree about things" or "you should accept constructive criticism" thing. If you mock people for wearing PPE, getting vaccinated, or otherwise protecting themselves, the most charitable possible interpretation of your behavior is that you're an asshole. If you defend it, you're also an asshole. This is really simple.

Videos from the Generation Analog conference have been posted. Here’s a link to session 6, where my supervised student Noah talks about apps supporting #Wingspan play (and a very unexpected incidental finding) at about the 15 minute mark, and I do a fairly deep dive into game mechanisms and functions of hybrid digital #boardgames around 43 mins (plus questions at the end). Also check out the other great presentations in this session and others! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oAJwe2rU1U&list=PLlYAgBDoVabx-cphEr6PNcidHuXy045NH

Late last year, I was interviewed by Liam Merrick for Five or Eight on Channel 31 community TV (Melbourne, Australia). Here, in the second part of our interview, I talk about my research (with Lucy Sparrow) on hybrid digital #boardgames and distanced play. https://youtu.be/4tSu-SGNj_A

This years #marsathon is over (for now) as @fraser is also back to work tomorrow, but we managed a few shorter games today. Hoping to keep that going, but I don’t want to make playing a game a chore!
