    Estimated board game / tabletop game market figures are hilarious. The figures from various agencies for 2023/2024 range from $11B to ~$20B worldwide, which is an extremely wide spread, basically +/- 100%, but still not anywhere near the $27B you mention. Who has the truth? Also, are these figures/CAGRs corrected for inflation? If not, inflation alone will cause this "growth", as game prices just get inflated up. My personal estimation: given that we are on an economic precipice, approaching a once in a lifetime debt bubble deflation/market crash/depression, all positive future predictions will be off by miles. Asmodee's figures you mentioned are the first hint to this.

    Trench Crusade is interesting, yes there was some pre-hype with the art, and they had a smaller Kickstarter for minis earlier, and Tuomas who was the mind behind Mordheim helped write the rules. But even if you run your campaign really well getting the word out is not easy, and they seem to have spent pretty much nothing on ads. If they could teach publishing companies how to get that kind of traction without putting so much money on ads I bet they could live off the consulting fees for years to come. :D There might be a question about this in strategy and tactics when you reach it in a year or so. :D

    As to AI in D&D.. artistry is the application of earned intuitive worth in connection to beauty and grace. People appreciate art (both graphic and designwise) in games because of the sacrifice apparent through it. AI content does not have this effect. For instance, AI created people feel flat and devoid of 'something'. D&D will become less liked because it will not honour the artist sacrifice tradition, is my guess.

    I got myself a lifelong ban on BGG for commenting this topic. I'm an academic, voracious reader with a philosophical bent. There's been a few occasions, none (none) of them deserved, when I did not advocate for but reflect on the fact that the world is overpopulated and the only true remedy for sustainability issues is a 1 child policy. I stand with that, it's an obvious reality, because there is just too much demand on scarce resources. Young people in the Netherlands literally cannot buy a home anymore because not enough houses are built. Using paper bags instead of plastic is just a cosmetic improvement and does next to nothing for the environment.

      THIS, however, is nonsense. We are certainly not a political podcast. We report on the news and we give commentary. We take questions from our audience and give expert industry knowledge and opinions. So, here we discussed if the board game hobby is doing its part for sustainability. Did you listen to it, before saying that we are a “political podcast”? I certainly did not, have not, will not take the position that “the board industry is a terrible, wasteful industry”. I’ve essentially said the opposite. So, if you want to make political statements here (“don’t place political podcasts on BGG”), you may want to actually understand what was said. Oh, and I’ll ban you here too, if you continue down this path of just spouting nonsense, and not providing commentary that is constructive and well thought out.

      Agree to disagree. They also lowered the price to make it an even more family-friendly price point. It’s one of the best games at the price now for a family. And it’s beautiful. And it’s just a great game. And if you really want the Dolphins, it’s quite easy to proxy them into the game.

      Yeah the poster is biased this version of the game is cheaper in every respect and has been done clearly to make more profit. Just because it currently comes in at a slightly cheaper price point doesn’t take away from the fact is visible cheaper regards production value and quality and has also loss important game elements.

      @@Greggiexplore Wow… obviously the childishness and wanting to be right all the time runs deep within you. The game is beautiful (artwork, screen printed monsters, etc). I did not review the game for it’s “production quality”, as I literally was there with this new employee of Asmodee for under 5 minutes, and was not going to insult her by nit-picking the production quality of a $30 game, as you are doing. You are not only childish, but you don’t know what you’re talking about, Mr. “I have 20 years experience in gaming and a large collection”. Sir, if you knew anything about the industry, you’d know WHO I AM. I have almost 20 years experience in PUBLISHING board games, and THOUSANDS of games in my collection.

    I was one of the playtesters for Runewars Miniatures Game, by FFG, shortly after their breakup with Games Workshop. It was a game that deserved better than it got. If there's a miniatures game that I would like to see resurrected, it's that one-though with a couple fixes and improvements. But the way movement and the command dials worked were wonderful, and gave me a reason to want to use miniatures instead of thinking that just using a hex grid would accomplish the same thing, with less fiddlyness.

    Oh, you should try Mutant Year Zero: Zone Wars as a miniature skirmish game, it came out this summer. Designed by Andy Chambers who has a ton of credits from his time working at Games Workshop. In the base box you get two skirmish teams, 3D cardboard terrain and a game mat. It's easy to play and fun to chuck dice. And you can import your character from the RPG if you so desire. :D A little bit like the Thunderroad Vendetta of the miniature world, not quite as light, but often quite chaotic when a rampaging razorback wrecks the house you're hiding in. :D

    So, it is interesting that you spoke about shipping as related to crowdfunding. I agree that crowdfunding is not a pre-order and is not a store. You either pay the shipping and get the game, or you don't. Plain and simple. I think you will find these discussions interesting since it applies to this topic. Links in replies below...

    I have two gaming tables that each have muted neoprene mats: 4' x 4' and 3' x 4'. I normally buy neoprene mats that either combine multiple game boards on a single mat or provide better organization of the components. I own about two dozen neoprene game mats that are stored rolled up, and each one is stored horizontally on the wall and behind the door of my board game storage room.
