Hello everyone, it’s a beautiful fall day and there’s exciting news to report, so let’s get right to it. In this newsletter:

Wingspan
As of today, the Wingspan app is available on Android! (It’s already out on iOS, Steam, and Nintendo.)
Some other fun Wingspan happenings:
Wingspan was announced as one of 16 qualifier events in the World Series of Board Gaming, an event with a $25,000 grand prize that will happen in Las Vegas in 2022.
Some eagle-eyed readers pointed out that a very specific game was pictured on the front table in this New Yorker cartoon by Asher Perlman:
Other folks passed along Wingspan sightings in the 9/16 USA Today Crossword (10D: “Wingspan and Clue, for two”) and the 10/23 Universal Crossword (67D: “Residences on Wingspan cards”). As a long-time crossword solver, this delights me to no end.
Tussie Mussie
If you ordered the expansion, it hopefully should deliver in December. And if you haven’t heard about how the worldwide shipping crisis is affecting the board game industry, just know that it’s bad. Go easy on everyone in the entire supply chain right now.
Mariposas
I didn’t think I had any Mariposas news to report, but then someone shared this amazing Mariposas-inspired cake with me today. I mean, they shared the video. I only *wish* they had actually shared the cake!
Upcoming events
This section is a bit of a misnomer this time around — I don’t have anything scheduled other than the fact that I will likely do some local playtesting (sign up for notices here if you’re in the DC area). I’m skipping Pax Unplugged this year. I try not to book myself up in the Thanksgiving-to-Christmas season, and then I’ll be on vacation for most of January.
Behind the scenes, though, there’s a Canadian film crew working on a general interest documentary about board games, and I’ll be spending some time with them next week. So that’s kind of an event, just one that you can’t watch for many months yet!
Wish me luck —
❤️
