Wingspan Asia

Monster Couch has released Wingspan Asia on several digital platforms. Here is a video of me playing with one of the guys from Monster Couch (and losing very, very badly).

Monster Couch also did a nice video about the sound design in Wingspan Digital.

Upcoming Events

I'm on tour this week across Toronto (June 17-18), Edmonton (June 19-20), and Vancouver (June 21-22). Here's the schedule -- in each city we have a board game night and a movie screening of the delightful documentary The Hobby: Tales from the Tabletop. Here's the trailer queued up to my tiny bit:

Miscellaneous Media

  • I spent 2 intense days on Capitol Hill last week with GAMA and TTGDA, asking for tariff relief. Sixteen of us collectively had dozens of meetings and drop-bys with Congressional staff. We heard over & over that it makes a difference to hear from their constituents. If you live in the US I urge you to read the piece I wrote about our visits and how you can help. I'm plugging along like business as usual for now, but the current tariffs are an existential threat to the US board game industry.
  • On a lighter note: Rosemary Mosco's latest Bird & Moon comic is very sweet.

Featured Critter: Monarch Butterflies

A friend sent me a picture of this sign from the weekend. No monarchs but butterflies.

Stay safe, and I hope to see some of you this week!
