Interesting ideas, but having curved pages on the preview looks ridiculous.
Always interested in the Gen Con recaps!
Nice article about Valeria.
My first issue, but I love the variety of games that are covered.
Great issue! Thank you so much for the great GenCon summary.
Watch it played is such a valuable resource.
Attending GenCon is on my bucket list but this issue is next best thing. I definitely will be asking Santa Claus for a subscription!
Gen con article! Awesome!
Watch It Played! Is my favorite channel on boardgaming! And looking forward to making it to Gencon someday!
Nice article on publishing your own game, something I think all gamers should do. I've published 5, haven't sold a single copy, but they were fun experiments in creativity.
Great magazine, I wish there were more devoted to board gaming!
I need this in my life
Really enjoyed the "how to publish your game" article, but wish it had more depth. Instead of a How-To it was more of a "mindset generator" that just broke down the conventional ideas of how to publish your game. There was some good content about the process of developing your game, though.
My first issue received - nice to see the variety of articles.
First time I have seen this magazine. Enjoying looking through it so far.
Great magazine. Excited for new issues
Great Issue!
Informative articles, enjoyed reading. Was wondering if only games from sponsors are included. Did not see anything other than how-to-play information and positive comments. If that is the purpose of the magazine (instead of independent reviews that could possibly include negative comments), that's fine, but maybe make that more clear.
Not bad.
First time reader of this, great content! Thanks!
Good articles !
Valeria rocks!!!!
loved the set article
Very cool issue, I can't wait to get mine in the mail!
Got the year subscription on Kickstarter and am really enjoying it
It seems a nice issue to me, with interesting information about games. with some games that are new to me.
Lisa, thanks for the feedback! Our reviews are independent and sometimes do contain negative comments (though we don't have a lot of space to elaborate). By making the cut for review, we already think very highly of a game. The majority of games we evaluate don't get reviewed.
To clarify, half of the games reviewed in this issue are not from current sponsors: Codenames, Feed the Shoggoth, and Sheriff of Nottingham.
I liked the article about game publishing. I hope we see more of this sort of article.
Great first issue!
Cool stuff!
Great articles. Might have to consider this for my husband!
I plan to be at next year's event as I haven't gone for a few years and it will be the 50th anniversary for GenCon.
Love Dan's article regarding story's in games. One reason a lot of people play tabletop games.
This is the first issue I have ever seen. Great work. I look forward to the the next.
Got this through a special promotion, but liking what I'm reading so far!
Always great to find more boardgame media outlets
Just got my e-copy a couple days ago! Looking forward to reading the GenCon article!
Can't wait to read this month's I just downloaded it.
Downloaded and ready to read tonight!
I really do love this magazine. Every time I read it I get a bad case of Acquisition Disorder!
Looks great!
Lve reading this as a centralized board game news spot!
I always love good story telling.
You do great work. I hope more folks find this gem of a magazine.
Recently received my Kindle copy. Looking forward to reading the article on one of my favorite YouTube channels - Watch It Played!
