Have a nice spiel !

I received my copy yesterday and I finished reading it this afternoon ! Well done, Ignacy, you managed to write a very interesting book on games, game design, game publishing and board-game industry, and a funny one ! This book was funded via Kickstarter so I’m not sure it will be easy to find if you missed the campaign but it truly worth reading if you get the opportunity ! I’m glad to be part of this adventure and I hope you enjoyed / will enjoy the Hanabi incredible story I wrote especially  for it :)

BOARDGAMES THAT TELL STORIES, the blog !

Abacusspiele released Hanabi Extra on german market : bigger cards, bigger tokens and racks ! So, if you want to play with your low vision grand-mother, or keep your hands free to make arguable signs to your teammates, it’s now possible :)

Je suis en train de finir la rédaction de la petite histoire d’Hanabi, texte qui figurera dans le livre « Boardgames That Tell Stories » un projet que mon confrère Ignacy Trzewiczek finance via Kickstarter. L’ouvrage est déjà largement financé mais si le livre vous intéresse, je crois qu’il ne sera disponible dans un premier temps que pour les backers…

I am currently polishing the Hanabi incredible story, a designer diary to be published in the book « Boardgames That Tell Stories » a project conducted by Ignacy Trzewiczek on Kickstarter. The book is already funded but I think that it will be only available for backers. So, if you are interested…
