A whole new reason to be hyped for Deductopia! There’d be no Trevosa without Marcus, but you may ALSO know Marcus from his guest week (Ch 13) on The Daily Spell! 😁

I want to share more about what to look forward to in The Archives of Trevosa, our language-translating family-tree deduction game set in a mysterious kingdom, but I’ve been too busy making it! Here’s a preview of the lexicon, where you can (optionally) take notes on the words you’re learning.

Small behind the scenes! This is the list that we used inside the team, to align on what type of games we want to work with. Games that we love to the death, and type of games that we wanted to support. Even before coming up with "curiosity games" term, we all "felt" what these have in common.
