We have 24 hours til the first puck drops for the @utahhockeyclub so to celebrate I’m doing a #utahhockeyclub hat (or beanie) give away! It’s simple: Like this post to enter. Retweet to get a second entry! In the words of @OfficialBigTuna I can’t wait to get this place buzzin’!

@Drawnonward For redlining, I would definitely pick a pick a specific instance/city and research what went down. I still want to have you check out my own game on the Chicago Open Housing Marches in 1966, but due a whole host of reasons I haven't been designing lately.

[Jon Walton @jonwesleywalton]

@Drawnonward But even then, as you almost certainly realize, your end game and win/loss conditions can't represent everything for a social issue like this. So I feel like you have to choose the aims you want to focus on and just work from there!

[Jon Walton @jonwesleywalton]

@Drawnonward I feel like you start there and work backwards. You could just do simple "area control" of neighborhoods - segregation seeking to dominate and de-segregation looking to mix, but that misses out on the legal challenges that people would be looking to overcome.

After years and years of looking at it, I finally picked up Xia and got it to the table (plus its Embers expansion). What an experience! Can't wait to play again. @FarOffGames

@DanThurot We've never met in person, but we do have one spot open for John Company tomorrow night ... Also if you want to try 13 Minutes, the slimmed down version of the slimmed down 13 Days, I'm picking it up from someone tomorrow and would love to play it with anyone

@JasonDCMatthews God I love this so much
