A small newsletter from the makers of the board game Bharat: Kings of Legend, sharing design diaries about the game's art, prototyping and the founders' personal story of moving to India and being inspired by the Mahabharata. It mainly gives behind-the-scenes updates for backers and players rather than general insight.

Short, practical essays on game design theory, each building one principle around concrete examples from games like Slay the Spire, Slipways and Rift Wizard. Readers get design heuristics they can apply to upgrade systems, synergies and multiplayer structure.
A weekly newsletter covering board and card games through history pieces, new-release roundups and individual game reviews. Readers get personal, opinionated writing with design context and some original research, such as Usenet archive digging.
A humorous, observational newsletter about everyday human behaviour, with each issue taking a single relatable scene (a costumed pet, a screaming baby at dinner, board game nights) and skewering it with wit. Readers get short, punchy essays that mix comedic exaggeration with real observations about social etiquette and modern habits.
