My wife likes to find Spotify playlists created for whatever board game we are playing. I've been trying to think which game would have the theoretically worst playlist. My current frontrunners are QE and LLAMA. Anyone got a better terrible suggestion?

I got a set of green plastic 'army men' for a prototype, that game has gone through at least 4 complete reworks of core mechanics, but the army men have been in every iteration...

Rehearse, and time the rehearsal. If you are showing a turn, stack the deck/situation to highlight an interesting interaction. Think of it as a learning experience with a chance of more, rather than more with a chance of learning experience.

I'm not sure the distinction is meaningful, playtesting is an integral part of design. If you are asking does it improve your skills more to design a few iterations of many games vs many iterations of one game, probably a bit more the former? At least in terms of being better positioned for game N+1

But for an already recognized power, like oh say, an unending national emergency declaration, I'm pretty sure there's loopholes large enough to drive a national guard tank through and the only remedy would be impeachment. Emergency powers are official acts, he's immune from prosecution

Executive orders are specifically about telling executive agencies how to act/prioritize their legislated mandate. So anything outside that purview would be shot down by SCOTUS like the debt stuff was. They'd probably maintain he couldn't be prosecuted for it but it wouldn't have any legal bite

One day there is going to be a conventionally attractive woman who only posts vague affirmations, glamorous settings, and selfies who genuinely followed me because of board games or somesuch, and I will preemptively block them, and for that I apologize in advance.

To anyone suffering impostor syndrome: always remember David Zaslav makes billions being absolute excrement at his job. You are 100 times better at whatever aspiration you have than David Zaslav is at his.

While I agree that Harris would be the least contentious (and only logical) replacement, I'm not convinced those odds are better than not replacing. Our nation's misogynoir runs deep. It will mostly take the form of saying her prosecutorial history is disqualifying or some such, but it will come.
