Text us your thoughts about this episode. In this episode, we grab our press passes and hustle to meet our newspaper's printing deadline in Fit to Print! In Fit to Print, a 2023 game designed by Peter McPherson with art by Ian O'Toole and published by Flatout Games, players take on the role of reporters and editors at the various newspapers in Thistleville, one of those charming woodland towns with adorable anthropomorphic animals. The game is played over three rounds—Friday, Saturday, and Sunday—with each round seeing players racing the clock to collect stories, photos, and ads and laying them out on their newspaper front pages to score the most points. I'm burying the lede here because Fit to Print's most notable aspect is that most of the game is played in real-time with players playing simultaneously while racing a timer! Listen as our 12-year-old media correspondent and I review this delightfully stressful game.Episode Links:Buy Fit to Print on Amazon.Read more about Fit to Print on its Kickstarter page.Visit designer Peter McPherson's website to learn about his other games.Music:"Open Road," "Soda Pop," and "The Concept" by Purple Planet.Podcast Links:Order a First Player Token coffee mug.Visit the First Player Token website.Join the FPT Facebook group.Follow @firstplayertoken on Bluesky.Join the Family Tabletop Community on Discord.

Text us your thoughts about this episode. In this episode, we spend a weekend in a cabin in the woods and play a whole lot of board games! A few friends and I recently spent a weekend playing board games at a cabin we rented in Cedars of Lebanon State Park. We played the board games that don't fit into normal game nights!
