Grabble is so much FUN!😍 Grab pieces one‑handed into your cup & slap the table. First to slap gets the big pawn. Don't be last! That player gives up a piece. Next, a piece is called out and anyone who doesn’t have it is OUT. Last player standing wins! Fast, fun and no injuries. It's a keeper!

Moonrollers gives big energy in a small box . It is a push‑your‑luck dice game where our rolls were keeping us on edge. We had fun, even when the dice were brutal. It is great for players who love risk, rewards, and a little chaos. 🎲 @ivstudio.bsky.social

That is a good idea. Doing it right away prevents a backlog lol I am still learning how to design so I am using files that other people have created. One day I will be able to design well.. lol

ᡣ𐭩 Mandi ᡣ𐭩 @613mandi.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Omg, if I was a better designer I would be in the same boat! 😆

I am finally 3D printing organizers for my board games...and not letting them languish on the table for weeks. 🤣

There's been a post going around on Reddit about the reality of using platforms like Kickstarter and BackerKit. And I think it's very important for independent creators to realize a couple of things before they get started with those platforms. So here is a free post on my patreon about those.

Into the Machine is one of those games with super simple rules but clever decisions. I was surprised by the interesting puzzle aspects of the game and fast turns. Overall, super satisfying and highly recommend! @alderaceg.bsky.social

Cards in a card holder. There are player aids on the left anc cards with actions on the right.

It has been two-ish years but it was worth the wait! 😍 I love the look of The Covens of Midnight Solo RPG and the rules are so easy to follow. I have the perfect tarot deck to use. Can't wait to dive in! @crossedpaths.co.uk

The Covens of Midnight RpG open to the Story So Far page. The pages are black with white writing. Beside it is my Remarkable tablet with writing.

Hi Friends! Both Mandi and Suz are dealing with illnesses this week so the podcast will be a few days late! Tune in later to hear about Mandi's latest 3D printing adventures and Suz's experience at the Universal Distribution Trade Day (it's more fun than it sounds!) We appreciate you! 💜

I think you would really enjoy it! I am not a huge fan of auction games but I like the way it is done in this game. And you are right...it is lovely to look at!

There are definitely a few things that can swing the game favorably and unfavorably based on the cards and player count. We will definitely talk about it on an upcoming podcast. What makes you on the fence about the game?

I was so happy to get Railway Boom to the table and have it taught to us! It is a four‑round economic auction game and I was deep in technology. ⚙️😈 Big thanks to Remy for bringing copies for me and @425suzanne.bsky.social from Japan. 💜

A tabletop setup of the Railway Boom board game showing a large hexagonal map with colored tiles (blue, green, yellow, black, and red) representing different terrain types and resources. Several orange cylinder pieces stand on the board, likely marking player positions or cities. Below the map is a scoring and action track with numbered spaces and colored icons for various game functions. Cards labeled “Fleet Mogul,” “Tech Investor,” and “Money Investor” are placed to the right, while additional hex-patterned cards lie to the left.

Phantom Ink was so fun! I was able to include 8 new players at game night! Phantom Ink is a fast, party game where teams use "invisible ink" clues to guess a secret word before their opponents. As we played more games, things got tricky with fewer clues. We had a blast! @allplay.bsky.social

This Winter I'll be teaching an Experimental TTRPG course and I'll be focusing on solo journaling games. If you have a game you think I should read, or you have a game you really love, please plug it and tell me about it. ✨ Also please share widely. I want some non US perspectives.

I love my Astro A40s with the mixer but having to plug it in doesn't work with my new set up. Sigh. Soooo I upgraded to the Astro A50X. They were on sale but lordt they aren't cheap. 💸 I hope I don't have to buy any for awhile. 😬😪
