November 22, 2024: Sharing Games With The Texas School For The Deaf

Steve Jackson Games goes to a lot of different events during the year, and we enjoy teaching and sharing our games by bringing demo copies to every event. The other day, a few of us went through the marketing office, pulling out old editions, demo copies, and discontinued games that can no longer go to events. As we did, we discussed how we could donate them to keep the sharing going.

After some research, we settled on The Texas School for the Deaf, an amazing school that helps students of all ages learn skills to help them navigate and find their place in a world not designed for them. I reached out to the school and got in contact with a woman named Anne. She was delighted to hear about the games and said, "Yes, please!"

The team and I went through every demo game to make sure all the pieces, cards, and boards were still in the boxes, and we packed them into my car. All in all, we . . . [more]

November 21, 2024: The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet Has Been Found!

Depending on how online you are, this will likely either be old news to you or a completely alien concept. Still, I'm fascinated by it . . .

Anyway, after being unidentified for almost 20 years, the Most Mysterious Song on the Internet has been identified! 404 Media has the info . . . including the song's actual title that will (if you're familiar with the original muddy-sounding tune) make you go, "That's what they were singing?!"

November 20, 2024: Meeples For The Mountains

For many people, tabletop games are a way to relax with friends. But for Hannah Bink, they became a lifeline during an extreme weather crisis.

"When Hurricane Helene hit, we lost all ability to contact each other for days," she explains. "However, friends and neighbors kept showing up at my house knowing that I had a grill and dozens of boardgames. We played games for days on end, just spending time together and making the best of a terrible situation."
 
Hannah knew she wasn't alone. Families across her home region of Western North Carolina could also find solace in tabletop games, but many had lost everything. That's why Hannah founded Meeples for the Mountains, a boardgame drive that aims to give families some much needed joy. 
 
"The basics are absolutely necessary (and still in high demand) – but so is mental reprieve," she says. "Boardgames are the . . .

November 19, 2024: Fight Freely With Ogre Print-And-Play

It's never been easier to enter the world of Ogre's tactical combat – thanks to the rumbling arrival of the Ogre Print-and-Play kit.

What digital delights are contained within this mighty Zip file? It houses many PDF files that have been available for years: rules, counters, maps, scenarios, and more. But two new aspects of this make it a true print-and-play experience:

• A "readme" file that explains what all the different files are and how to use them.

• The maps and counters have new versions that are easier to bring to print at home.

Best of all, this download is completely free!

Sure, we're hoping that, once you partake of the Ogre experience, you'll find yourself drawn to purchase other goodies to add to your fledgling collection. But, honestly, if your can-do spirit creates a kit for your own enjoyment that you have fun with, we're fine with that as well. Surviving . . . [more]
