Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 13/10/2026HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you 0182 18
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Update: She played my current WIP with me. :) 391 9
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Some stuff was gotten! Happy to see you still on the Ivy train. 050 5
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Me: Hey daughter, want to play games after I fold these towels? Daughter: Sure. Me: Puts away towels and gets out games. Daughter: *Is outside, playing basketball* Me: 040 4
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 12/10/2026A friend of mine posted some cool little chits used in play traditional card games like tarocks and Vira and I had to make my own. This is the gamering. 030 3
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 11/10/2026BGStats gave me too much power allowing the grid to be any sized lol. Lots of variety this week. Clearly, Grabble grabbed our house. The final picture is actually a prototype I made for a silly little game that’s somewhere between DNUP and shady lady and probably worse than both but maybe good? 160 6
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Spandauer Another @cityhare.studio banger, and he made the Fivedeck pictured below to play it, but it is playable with a standard deck. It’s a fixed-hand climber where you score the melds you beat, with lots of little twists thrown in. I think it’s one of Niko’s best, to be honest. 291 9
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Draft Cribbage Obsessed with this. It’s such a perfect way to play cribbage whether you’ve played for years or haven’t tried it. The choices are so smart, the game is so lean. It’s like @cityhare.studio invented this alongside cribbage itself way back when. (Coming soon to BGA!) 1111 11
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Last week was the end of Solo September and I got other cool things played. :) Pipoca fuckin’ rips. 160 6
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 01/10/2026What a September! Also, I like this new update a lot @bgstatsapp.bsky.social :) 040 4
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I successfully did my little solo September challenge. I missed exactly one day, but more than made up for it. Here’s how I ranked all the things I played this month. :) 180 8
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I took another picture of Turtle just for yall. 010 1
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Always fun to finish a pocketbook. Much more scribbly than usual. Here’s some uh… stuff, lol 040 4
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I got them as babies early this year! They’ve molted uh… four times? Here’s one of them when they were very small! Basically no visible hairs! 020 2
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I’m not sure where you’ve been that you missed them, but I ain’t hiding them. I’ve got Turtle and Mephistopheles. (Alt has which is which) 340 4
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Solo September still going strong! Clearly, I had a thing for Ra Dice with @indigopotter.bsky.social this week. I also played the Orchard series finally (I missed Saturday. But made up for it today with Forage!) Konigrufen is consuming my digital playtime lol 020 2
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Sorry about those issues, but I like your solo games on display! I’m excited to try Enchanted Ivy sometime. Gentle Rain is such a relaxing game, truly. 010 1
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 21/09/2026(This is not talking badly about Here Lies) But this is the opposite of what I’m after. I want one player to play this game in my head and the game reveals the information to them, not another player. 000 0
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Last week was interesting! Fun! A bit odd. (Last three images are just for fun; I didn’t want to leave anything out this time to make it fit a 4x4) 060 6
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I’ve been doing Solotember much more successfully this year. Here are four games I played this week: - SuDoku Hex! (Dr. K) - Solitarrow (Gregg Jewell) - The Lucky Seven (Zach Barth) - 5x15 (Friedemann Friese) Sudoku Hex was shockingly more thoughtful than I expected. Solitarrow is hard! 1100 10
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I made all the other posts and bsky didn’t save them in my drafts. Here are some thumbnail teasers and links: 🥝 : boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/47... 🫐: boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/47... 🍓: boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/47... 010 1
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Fruit Salad #1: SEVENTEEN BANANA 🍌 is my attempt to combine the incredible stashing mechanic of Split Tarock into Trifle. It has a weird flavor all its own with the first half of each hand being 3 cards at a time, and then the second half being 7. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/47... 130 3
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 15/09/2026My children have been freed from BGGatory and can now be played by YOU! I have four new games I’d love for folk to try. All four are fixed trump, two-player, trick-taking games designed for us with @seandavidross.bsky.social’s Trifle deck. Trifle has four suits and ranks 0-5 and Q. 1145 14
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 13/09/2026If curious, here’s my up to date ranking of the solo games I’ve played. (I haven’t played one today) 020 2
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I’ve been doing a solo September thing, so I’m seeing lots of variety if not much depth. Also, I feel like a “real designer” because I did more watching of other people play my games than I did playing them: that’s cool! (I’m waiting on BGG to push them thru so I can talk them!) 150 5
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Here’s a look at when the pretty board was finishing so we played a game on my prototype board! 010 1
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 06/09/2026It’s Solo September! I hope you’ve gotten some fun plays in with fun people, or fun plays by yourself! (You’re a fun person, probably.) 2100 10
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Designed and printed a “travel” Big Shot this week. This is a fun game! 380 8
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 01/09/2026BOAT LEFT STATES SO NOW OUR LAGROW IS EN ROUTE 240 4
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 01/09/2026For fun, here’s the “game art” from August because I don’t like seeing the text only squares. 000 0
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Post something random, or you’ll smell of beef and cheese. 100 1
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 01/09/2026August was, apparently, the month of Tarot for me! I’m still stoked on it. Such a cool system that just lends to learning more and more. Woo remains pretty damn good, I got obscenely addicted to Bus, Spandauer is a super SUPER cool climber @cityhare.studio just threw rules up for on BGG! 3101 10
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Last week (counting today) was not a full to the brim kind of week, but it WAS a quality week! 5150 15
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Ah good always the right time to share this 110 1
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 23/08/2026A different vibe this week but lots and lots of fun. 192 9
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I didn’t notice until today, but what a surreal feeling this is. It’s weird for me to see something I made exist in other places where I didn’t make it there too. That people I do not know, even by a few degrees of separation, play my game (and made it digitally) is something I’ll never get over. 2110 11
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 13/08/2026When my game design output turns to shit, it’s because I’m empty on things other than game design and the brain doesn’t work that way. I always fall back to this image I have saved. 040 4
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 09/08/2026A small, but quality week. :) I had to share the symmetry of the people I played with this week though. 170 7
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I haven’t played Floristry in ages! It’s still so good. 040 4
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 30/07/2026My buddy @cityhare.studio made possibly the slickest game to utilize cribbage scoring since cribbage itself. My daughter beat me with the biggest anime plot armor turn. It’s got risk, temptation, and makes you say “why not?” followed by “well shit.” boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/47... 091 9
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 26/07/2026I gotta say, I’m happy to see another week where the square is fuller. I do truly hate the cover for Lobo though. I play it too much to see a “how to play” as the thing. I’ll fix that. 2110 11
Jacob Bysshe Landrum @byssh3.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I did it… I finally won a game of Lobo. It only took 12 plays, more than that I didn’t track, but I finally did it. 260 6
