Why I Don’t Sleeve My Board Games

In this article, Eric Martin of Board Game Beat explains why he rarely sleeves cards—including a copy of The Game: Extreme that has survived more than 300 plays unsleeved. It’s partly about cost and convenience, but also about seeing wear as a record of actually playing and enjoying a game.

Full disclosure: I'm married to Eric, and I occasionally help out at Board Game Beat by sharing his posts if they seem especially relevant.

Crew designer Thomas Sing explains how the third game redesigns the series

Thomas Sing has written a designer diary for The Crew: Journey to the Ends of the Earth, explaining the new shared-task system, the choice between tasks of different difficulty, and why failing an individual task no longer necessarily means losing the stage.

Full disclosure: I’m affiliated with Board Game Beat (wife of the founder!) which published the diary.
