Last night's #boardgames saw our biggest turnout for ages - there was obviously nothing on TV here in the UK. Five of us played Tzolk'in, a worker placement game with cogs tracking the Mayan calendar. Loads of fiddly little rules mostly hinted at with tons of icons to memorise. But the two new players (me included) got it fairly quickly. Final scores were very spread out, and I was quite happy wit

Last night's #boardgames included Living Forest and Forbidden Island. Living Forest has the artwork of a children's game, but really isn't. It's a deck building, push your luck, tableau building, rondel chasing, everything game. I did well collecting fire tokens until the other two players put in a concerted effort to stop me.

Last night's #boardgames were 6 nimmt, Family Business and Cascadia. 6 nimmt was great fun with six players, though I lost horribly, and I was happy to get it to the table. Family Business is a silly take that game, and I'm not sure if it has any strategy, but I did like the mechanism of lining up characters on the hit list and then possibly rescuing them before they got "taken out".

Processes can be too much. A simpler process can also reduce cognitive load and therefore help us focus better on more valuable things.

Lots of people have good ideas about what needs to be done to improve things, but persuading others to enable it is a different kind of skill. More in this week's blog post... https://niksilver.com/2026/07/07/knowing-versus-convincing/

Strategies can - and should - have genuine data-driven steering mechanisms built into their design. A bit like digital product development. This is something I got from a talk I attended recently. More here...

When weighing up options which involve how to organise our team over a possibly-fragmenting product, we don't have to go entirely by gut instinct. We can express this with numbers to avoid ambiguity. Here's one way.

Last night's #boardgames included Emberleaf, once again. I think I've made my peace with this, scoring a respectable 35 when we had to pack up (restaurant closing time). We all agreed we'd have done much better with just one more turn. Sur…
