Vs featured heavily today among this collection of tricky words describing the unwanted remains of life. I'd argue that SOUVENIR doesn't belong in the same company as DREGS – as souvenirs are something you often buy to remind you of something enjoyable, such as a vacation or a concert. That said, eBay (and my loft) is full to the brim of unwanted souvenirs, so perhaps it belongs here after all.

Solar Gardens Offers A Greener Tomorrow With A Board Game Today
Most games set in the cities of the future are cyberpunk in nature. They see cities as brutal dystopian fortresses. But the latest release from Darrington Press sees cities as an important part of the process to make our world to a better place. Solar Gardens puts the concept of urban sustainability into a tile laying game. Players compete to build the most lovely rooftop garden at the top of their futuristic skyscraper. While the gardens in the game built by the players are big and forward looking, the original design started as a small look to the past. 'I first played Alex's original prototype when it was a Zen garden game,' said Eric Slauson, co-designer of Solar Gardens. 'It was much more zoomed in. A little tiny space that you were building.' 'It was koi ponds, little pagoda statues, things like that,' said Alex Culter, co-designer of Solar Gardens. 'It was very peaceful and pastoral like a lot of tile laying games are. But I knew at some level it was a theme that would get bumped up or replaced. The theme was kind of a placeholder. We knew that once we found a publisher that felt very strongly about the mechanics that we could shape the theme in whatever direction we wanted to go.' FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder They found Darrington Press, who not only made a deal to publish the game but also make it one of their big debuts at Gen Con. While the company has been getting rave reviews for Daggerheart they are making moves into the board game space with titles like Queen By Midnight. Even with their non-RPG games, Darrington Press wants to tell stories. 'I was familiar with their general vibe, world building and positivity around the table,' said Slauson. 'I thought this would be a good fit. We sent them the zen garden version. They had a blast playing it in the office. Of course, everyone who plays it does. They came back with 'what about elevating the scope a little bit? What if we're thinking about sustainability? What if we're thinking about community gardening?' That was the first prompt. What can this look like in a larger sense? I'm a theme first designer. I love theme, I love world building. So I ran with that and Alex let me change the prototype.' Tile laying games offer communal experience that's competitive but also can feel cooperative. Everyone is trying to build something together but also trying to make the best possible version of the thing. With one tile to pick or pass every turn, there's a risk that keeps everyone's attention during the game. 'The most fun aspect of this game is the push your luck [element],' said Cutler. 'Every single turn, every single player is making a choice. Whether you're the lead-off player or you're in the last position, you're still making choices about what's coming to you. Your valuation is changing every single turn of every single round. Is this tile good for me? Is this tile good for someone else? I think it adds a lot of layers to the game. I think it's a game that can be played with a group that's very friendly and calm. But also, the first time I ever played the game with Eric was at Gen Con with a large group of people.I have never heard more sailor mouthed crap talking at one table.' 'Even though it's a tile layer and you're doing the drafting and the placement you do in a lot of other dry, Euro kind of games,' said Slauson, 'because it's so social, because everyone interacts every tile someone drafts you care about. Everybody is watching what everybody else's board is doing. There are so many moments of reaction. We found that people who play in a more reserved style can't help but cheer.' In addition to the theming, Darrington Press is making sure each copy of the game sold helps sustainability in the real world. Solar Gardens is made of biodegradable, plastic-free materials and uses paper stickers to hold the game box together in transit. As part of the National Forest Foundation's Sapling Program, each copy sold helps fund reforestation efforts in U.S. national parks. 'No matter how cutthroat [you are] as a player, you're still being benevolent,' said Slauson. 'I showed you! I built a perfect garden for society!' Solar Gardens is available directly from Darrington Press and online retailers like Amazon.

Battlefield 6's beta doesn't start for another 2 days, but fans clearly don't mind the wait as the FPS has already hit a peak of almost 10,000 concurrent players on Steam
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Battlefield 6's beta might not kick off for another couple of days, but that's not stopping thousands of fans from flooding to it early, wistfully staring at its menu with no actual way to play. For those who've earned early access to Battlefield 6's beta (by signing up before July 31 or watching partnered Twitch streamers during last week's multiplayer reveal), the fun kicks off on August 7 until August 8. For everyone else, there are two open beta weekends running between August 9-10, and August 14-17. Either way, it's still not time to dive in just yet, but try telling that to the 6,000 people sitting in its menu on Steam right now. Following Battlefield 6's beta pre-load going live on all platforms yesterday, the game has hit a peak of 9,463 concurrent "players" on Steam (players being a rather strong word, as it stands) according to SteamDB. That doesn't account for those on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, either. Prospective players can already tweak their settings to their liking before the beta actually becomes playable, so it's not that there's absolutely nothing to be doing right now. To maintain thousands of concurrent users so steadily for hours on end, though? There are definitely a lot of people simply hyping themselves up in the menu. All things considered, Battlefield 6 seems to be in a good position to bring in plenty of actual players when its beta actually goes live. DICE previously stated that it'll include "the most content we've ever dropped in an open beta in Battlefield history," so it should keep us busy. Battlefield 6 dev says the magic words: Bad Company 2 is a "huge inspiration" for the upcoming FPS, and my excitement for the beta is now at an all-time high.
