My family does a lot of road trips, and those have started up again since we're vaccinated and can rejoin the world. One of the challenges that being in a car presents is boredom; we're gamers at heart, so we look to portable play to fill up the empty time . . .

We wrapped up fulfillment of a couple of campaigns over the last month, bringing our total number of active Kickstarter campaigns down to three. One of those, Car Wars, has been an especially frustrating experience for everyone -- backers, us, our printing partners -- but we're finally watching the containers leave the port and start their long journey to our primary U.S. warehouse . . .

If these pocket folders had existed back in the eighties, you'd better believe that I would have had several of them to use for my Car Wars, Battletech, and AD&D sheets and notes. Featuring classic Steve Jackson Games artwork from many of our biggest hits of the eighties, these twelve 9" x 12" pocket folders are available today – and only at Warehouse 23 . . .

We wanted to take a moment to congratulate our friends over at Pegasus Spiele (for non-German fans, they are our partners in Germany) for winning the most prestigious award in board gaming, the Spiel Des Jahres, for their game MicroMacro: Crime City! The SdJ is game of the year in Germany, and considered the top of the mountain for awards in our industry, so it's an enormous honor just to be nominated, much less win.
I haven't had a chance to get my hands on MicroMacro yet, but now that it's won the SdJ I'm betting my odds of finding a copy will increase a bit with more games printing, as winning this award is a huge boon for games . . .
