Mike Didymus-True here, the editor of BoardGameWire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wanted to post a quick message to apologise for an upcoming week or two quiet patch for the site &#8211; I&#8217;m being unexpectedly admitted for surgery tomorrow, and will likely be out of action for at least 7 to 14 days while I recover. And as BoardGameWire remains a one-person operation, which I squeeze into my spare time around my day job and my two kids, unfortunately that means a very brief hiatus for the site!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please do continue to email me with your news and such in the mean time, and I&#8217;ll do my best to get reporting again as soon as possible!
