Made with love under the pine trees.

@BrainIsaTool1 @69thSB @HolgerLinius Things are tough, but we won’t give up! Let’s donate and/or boost this SAFO @69thSB campaign! Our fellas from South America crossed the Atlantic to fight for Ukraine and we can’t get them a truck? Ridiculous! 👉 https://t.co/not64z1szF

🌍 Rising tensions put Iran back at the center of global attention.

A potential political transition could reshape dynamics in the South Caucasus and impact Ukraine.

@RaminNasibov Depends on my actual mood. I overall like blue.

Tested a new mini-game today: Masked Ball 🎭
Took ~5 minutes ⏱️, scaled nicely, had light tactical choices 🧠 and just the right amount of luck 🎲.
Caused way more laughter than expected 😄
Which feels… historically accurate.
Would you like to know the rules?

@DuelistGuild Oof, Steam messing up the title is brutal. I had different struggles with my boardgame, went from 'Ball of Europe' (everyone: soccer?) to 'Concert of Europe' (everyone: music game?) before landing on perfect title. Here's my full fail thread https://t.co/kMPJobeZCs

I got asked about the title quite a few times, so here’s the full story behind naming my game. First working title: Ball of Europe.
Sounded elegant… until people instantly assumed it’s a soccer game
Thread on how I renamed it 3 times

@BoardGameGeek @ChilibeanNP @DeborahAnnWoll @heccubustwit @Scott_Almes @EditionsMatagot Love seeing more heavy euros getting spotlight! In my own historical euro about Congress of Vienna, naming was a nightmare – people thought 'Ball of Europe' was soccer ⚽️ game 😅.
Anyone else had title disasters? Full story: https://t.co/kMPJobeZCs

Also it is of course Vienna 1814: Waltz of Nations, but it was 4 characters too long 🤦‍♀️

Which title would you have picked? Vote!

[Wandering Pine Studio @WPineStudio]

I am asking cause I have a lot of other platforms much more "social" and responsive, and I am just tired of posting anything here.

[Wandering Pine Studio @WPineStudio]

Actually are there here some real humans? Interested in like Board Game Design? Or is this platform only Bot battle ground?

On the night of 30–31 December 1814, the palace of Prince Andrey Razumovsky burned down during preparations for a ball of the Congress of Vienna.
Nothing was saved — neither art nor memory.
The loss haunted him for the rest of his life.

Vienna, December 1814.
For a brief moment, the Congress fell silent.
Countess Bernstorff watched the funeral of Charles Joseph de Ligne — one of the last voices of the old Europe.
