I'm just some dude. A cardboard cowboy. I also write Space-Biff!, the world's first and only board game review site.

- Most people know Zach Barth as the founder of Zachtronics. But we are not most people. Today on the Space-Cast!, Zach talks about his analog designs, including The Lucky Seven, Chemistry Set, and the scratch-off puzzle pack Zach Attack! Listen here: spacebiff.com/2026/02/04/s...

- As a remake of Renegade, Deckers is a mild tune-up; as a throwback to a time when cooperative games were tougher and more tangled, it's a welcome addition to the modern co-op pantheon. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/02/03/d...

- One-Hit Heroes is a rapid-fire boss battler with a great rhythm, letting players tackle four bosses in sequence. My main complaint is that I want more of it. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/02/02/o...
- I'm having a real "I'm bad at everything" day. Gah.
- Only managed a few "real" games this week, on account of playing like 15 prototypes. Still! Good stuff. What did you get to the table?
- I write proudly biased reviews. Biased toward being good as heck, ohoho.

- I showed up too early to this convention.
- I loved writing this article a couple years back. Inside detail: Some were grumpy that I didn't show "both sides" of the issues of women's suffrage, black emancipation, and queer rights. Whoops. Caught me. I didn't interview a bunch of designers who are against those things. Weird.

- Hey, I have facial hair now. I was sitting in a church having a deep personal chat with Jesus, and I said, "Hey Jesus, should I grow a beard? Like your beard?" and Jesus said, "Yeah, Dan, grow that beard. Not because you want to. But because I, the Savior of the World, have ordained it."
- The Dice Tower's silence on Sam Healy's fascist apologia is bad — hot take, I know — but it's also in line with this hobby's paradoxical insistence that games are simultaneously art and apolitical.
- I just got back from seeing The Testament of Ann Lee, and it will surprise nobody to hear that I just want to sit down with some friends and talk about it for a few hours.
- This is the best joke I've ever told that's (1) too niche (2) nobody will ever see.
