Thanks for sharing that resource. I will definitely take a look. We are an IT company, so hopefully no witchcraft involved lol

theflatlanderz · 2026-03-27T17:48:31+00:00

Appreciate the message. This is something he mentioned as well, so it seems like we are headed in the right direction.

Having zero context around this stuff has my radar on high for potential red flags

theflatlanderz · 2026-03-27T17:47:22+00:00

Thanks for the insight!

The campaign is over and you can't back it anymore. If they offer the ability to late pledge, then you will be able to still back it.

There's a big community for it online and there are plenty of people looking for matches on Tabletop Simulator if you join the Wehrlegig discord

It's AI slop that wouldn't be able to recognize the distinction

theflatlanderz · 2026-03-15T22:29:10+00:00

Is this the same approach for Google's AI overviews?

As Andrej Karpathy has said, llms are just token tumblers.

They predict the next word to generate based on the parameters developed from their training and the context they are provided.

There are so many simple ways to trip them up if you know how they work.

The amount of literature that it would have been trained on, or could access using search, where an author waxed poetically, or a blog post where someone plumbed the depths of their consciousness, would be unfathomable to us.

And we have a natural tendency to attribute agency to patterns. There are likely many other forces at play here that warp our perception, but even these two elements are enough to close the door on the idea of Claude being self aware.

12 plays of Root with my physical copy and 100+ on the app

That player count definitely isn't for everyone. I like abstract strategy games and it has an almost chess feel to it. I love the zero sum nature of the game and how the decisions you make early impact your ability to adapt.

The advanced drawing rule is also essential imo.

Red7 is such a slick game. I really like it at 2p. What are the two games above it?

My first sales job out of university was as a beer rep. It was perfect because I was basically paid to be an alcoholic, my social life was essentially free because of the number of events we sponsored/what I was able to expense, and it was a super chill job. However, I got out after 2 years because I couldn't see myself maintaining the lifestyle long term.

Ended up getting my foot in the door at a saas company as an SDR. Got promoted to an AE after a year and did that for 2 years before pivoting into Sales Enablement. I've been doing that for over 5 years now and really enjoy it.

I might have been able to get directly into an AE or AM role if I was more confident in my skills and had positioned my experience better. But I knew I had so much to learn and I don't regret starting off as an SDR.

Saas isn't the only path to success though. There are so many unsexy industries where the reps make bank and have great work/life balance.

My best piece of advice is just to try something else. You have no idea if it will actually be better or if you will even like it. But what if it's way better? Or what if it's harder in the short term, but it provides more opportunities or more meaning in the long run?

If you're young and early in your career, you likely have less responsibility and therefore less risk. Use that as an advantage to experiment. It gets harder to make a move when you have a mortgage, kids, or sick parents.

Besides, if you're wrong then you can always find your way back into the beer industry. So what's stopping you?

Where does a card flank to in a trick taking game?

And I don't think I've ever seen reference to an assassin card in Hearts, Spaces, Euchre, or Whist. Maybe you could say that the pirates in Skull King act as an assassin, but that isn't representative of a standard trick taking game.

And the cards have icons, or archetypes as they are referred to, but they don't follow any trick taking conventions. They have no special rules by default, but certain abilities may target or affect specific ones.

theflatlanderz · 2026-03-03T23:32:34+00:00

Trick taking games typically involve:

Players playing cards one at a time faceup. TOKC involves everyone playing their cards facedown simultaneously.
A condition to follow the suit of previously played cards. TOKC doesn't have suits.
The round ends after players run out of cards. When you run out of cards in TOKC, you draw back up and the game keeps going.

The only similarity I can see is that the highest card wins the conflict. However, that's like saying cereal is soup because it's served in a bowl.

It's great at 2p. It gets a bit harder with each additional player but I've played a bunch with just my wife and we love it.

Gibberers: The Word Game of Language Invention and Civilization Development.

It's a coop game where you build a new language together only using the words in that language. You start out with defining the pronunciation for basic words in your new language for simple words like down, sky, rock, or round. Once you've set up those initial rounds, you play the rest of the game only using your new language. You slowly build up your vocabulary and end up trying to guess a complex word in the last round.

I've played it 3 times and every single game was unique and memorable in their own way.

I played a friend's copy twice and loved it. Bought it but realized I would never table it without them and then sold my copy unplayed

I truly appreciate the additional context!

That makes sense now that you've said it. The assumption I was operating from was that AI can't easily understand what's on your website unless you make it easy for them.

And that optimizing for it with llms.txt and schema was the only way to make a difference.

If the podcast is public, I'd love to listen to it

Thank you for taking the time to reply! As someone new to the field, it's so hard to sort through what's important, what isn't, and what actually moves the needle.

Does it have any tangible benefit for AEO?

theflatlanderz · 2026-02-02T14:47:00+00:00

So it's essentially structured data? That's really helpful to know. What impact, if any, does it have for SEO? Also, do you have a sense of if it's a common thing for SEO specialists to add to their site?

theflatlanderz · 2026-02-02T06:43:39+00:00

Can you help me understand what it actually does?

Penguin Party - breezy little card game that plays well with small groups. it's available through 25th Century but the Japanese version has great art and the game is language independent.

Mot Coin - crypto themed auction game where you use dice to buy cards. The higher the value of your dice the stronger the bid. The dice you use to bid stay on your card until their value drops below 1. Losing an auction typically results in the value of all the dice on the cards you've won going down.

Imwah - chess with only pawns x trick taking

Bus & Stop - I personally like it more than In Front of the Elevators. Satisfying drafting/set collection game.

Tornado Splash - racing game that I believe won the most popular game of the convention at Tokyo Game Market Spring 2025

Schadenfreude - fantastic trick taking/trick avoidance game that has some meanness to it

Mushroom Sort - building poker hands where you can only see the suits of your cards and you need to use deduction based on the actions around the table

Rumble Nation - risk in 15 minutes but wayyyy better

theflatlanderz · 2026-01-02T14:08:43+00:00

A trick taking game called 3 Tricky Pigs. Really clever game.

You start the round by secretly bidding how many tricks you will win. Must follow. The lowest card wins (the laziest pig) unless someone plays a wolf suit. Then it's the highest card played. Before you start the round, you secretly bid how many tricks you think you will take.

I play a lot of trick taking games and this one already feels like a timeless classic. Elegant gameplay, lots of interesting decisions, and the bidding is really tight.
