Board Games Are Back With Mississippi’s “Tortugas Games”
SUMMARY: Board games are experiencing a resurgence due to 2020 lockdowns, with the global market valued at $15.1 billion in 2022 and projected to reach $29.7 billion by 2028. Mississippi-based Tortugas Games, founded by lifelong friends Jon Micah Tyson and Nick Raynor, is contributing to this trend. Their first game, “Red Tides: A Tale of New Caribbea,” is a cooperative dice battler with RPG elements set in the fantastical world of New Caribbea. The game, currently in development and pre-launched on Backerkit, aims to provide a fun, immersive experience for players and has received positive playtester feedback.

SUMMARY: Spring is here in Mississippi, prompting many to venture out on the state’s waterways. Before heading out, it’s crucial to review boater safety skills. Those born after June 30, 1980, must complete a state-accredited boater safety course, which covers vital topics like water safety and navigation rules. The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) offers the course online or in person, with various locations available year-round. Successful completion may also help reduce insurance premiums. For more information, contact MDWFP or check their website. Enjoy the beautiful weather, but prioritize safety on the water!

SUMMARY: St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated on March 17, honors the missionary who introduced Christianity to Ireland. This festive day, where everything turns green, was brought to America by Irish immigrants. Boston held the first official observance in 1737, while St. Augustine claimed the earliest celebration in 1600. In Mississippi, St. Patrick’s festivities kick off in Biloxi with a parade and family-friendly festival on March 15, 2025, followed by Jackson’s Hal’s St. Paddy’s Parade on March 22. Celebrations span the state, inviting everyone to wear green and partake in the fun, avoiding leprechaun pinches along the way.
