Andrew & Anitra are programmers by training. Can we tease apart some of the skills that build a programming mindset, and hone them through games?
Computational thinking includes: abstraction, decomposing, algorithms, and pattern recognition.
Even kids or adults who don’t think of themselves as “technical” will benefit from these skills. These are problem-solving tools, whether you’re applying them to computers or not.

Wow there's a lot to get through here. After recovering from the UK's worst heatwave I at least got to enjoy Manorcon and play a bunch of games, many of which I'll talk about here!
Acquire, Akropolis, Ride the Rails and the upcoming Endless Winter got played and my thoughts relayed here. Then I have some key news that have turned up in the last week to talk about for upcoming game announcements. Then finally a question from a Patreon - do sequels to board games work out better or worst for a game series?
