I’m beginning my migration to The Other App. Will keep crossposting as long as there are people here I like, but I hope to see more of you there (or wherever the good game people land) when it comes time to cut the cord!

Got a sneak peek preview copy of this upcoming book, teaching advanced math concepts through tabletop games. Seems right up my alley!

Just heard that tne Dicebreaker team is being mothballed. What a terrible, terrible waste of extremely talented people. I had such high hopes the site was going to be the entryway into the mainstream for our hobby. Thoughts with all those affected.

At 10 EST tonight I'll be joining @beneeta_k for a teach and playthrough of Stalk Exchange. Check it out here! https://t.co/BeEVtC1Mpk

@DanThurot I’m really interested to get your take on peacemakers: horrors of war

[Christopher Chan- #BlackLivesMatter @xopherchan]

@AngryTetris Sorry for your loss.

[The Op Games @TheOpGames]

Get ready for Stalk Exchange, our deceptively simple game of paper flowers and cutthroat investments, coming this summer! 🌷

[Christopher Chan- #BlackLivesMatter @xopherchan]

AHH! This is my game coming out at GenCon!

I got a chance to fiddle with a preproduction copy of this last week and let me tell you, every component is a joy.

[The Op Games @TheOpGames]

Curious about our upcoming game, Stalk Exchange??

Here's a thread with some announcement day content! ⬇️

Hot take: I find most euro games, even "gateway," very difficult to learn for most people.

You need to deconstruct the entire scoring matrix in order to understand your basic incentives.

The core game loop is often "simple," but knowing what to do =/= knowing how to play.

It’s so nice to see Possums in a Trench Coat getting some love!

[Print & Play - Board Game Prototypes @PrintPlay]

The team has been recently working on some fun new prototype tokens for @xopherchan!
Love their illustration style🙂

@sumfatkid Smell was worse than the ihop chips but the taste was slightly better. Still not good.

[Christopher Chan- #BlackLivesMatter @xopherchan]

@sumfatkid I thought I’d escaped the weird snacks when I got home. Then Jen handed me this:

I’m so excited for this! Get ready for some more derpy animals.

[TAM @TamAtPlay]

Look out for an exciting announcement from @wwizardgames — a collaboration between @deg23deg, @xopherchan, and myself. A big thanks to @TokenGaymer for making this possible.

[Christopher Chan- #BlackLivesMatter @xopherchan]

@Tiki___________ Reach out to our publisher, Smirk and Dagger. They’ll have more info.

[Christopher Chan- #BlackLivesMatter @xopherchan]

We’re in the last 48 hours of the Night Cage: Shrieking Hollow Kickstarter!

It will eventually be in retail but you won’t be able to get the metal minis or chunky acrylic tiles as easily afterward.

@SenFoongLim @TheUnpub That would be pretty rad. Next year maybe!

[Christopher Chan- #BlackLivesMatter @xopherchan]

I come back to crosspost a thing for visibility and I have to block bots within 1 minute of posting.

This site is even worse than I remember.
