Joining the @breakmygame.com Discord has been one of the best things I've done for this game. Living in ABQ limits my reach (we've got a killer design group tho) but the games I've read/played and the advice I've gotten on there is indescribably heartening and inspiring and I wish I did it sooner.

Also played an amazing galactic twister game from @boardgameghee.bsky.social and Sasha's great card battler!

Had a great time at the @breakmygame.com Portland Playtest event. Standouts include- A heavy-weight time-travel game, a 3-d word game, a "The Batchelor" themed party game, and Terraforming Mars, but Napoleon in Egypt. I also got to test a new timing mechanism for Rex Regnat, which went well.
