Do you teach boardgames? We have just launched a survey asking about your experience! It takes about ten minutes to complete - please share!

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.

@BoardgamingParent I love this one too; possibly my favourite variant.

@melissainau Very quick segment but the person before me had modified a car to drive underwater - now there's a great boardgame waiting to happen!

@eerko i think it was in the context of a single game? It was a short project with very specific focus. Definitely could have looked at your (still beta?) scoring functions as well.

Randomising is game & start player choice?

As part of this project, we’re going to interview game designers about their games & their functions to supplement and check our analysis.

@Katharina @eerko it’s very long with two - especially for us, because we enjoy the journey. Might not be so great for someone who is more reluctant.
