I think we'll get to 54ish this cycle. Then we'll see if we can pick up 6 more in 2028. I think there's at least 3-4 winnable ones.

Chris Prime @chrisinhm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
But, can we get to 60 between now and 2028?

This prototype has been super fun to get to the table. My first party/dexterity design. Back to the Box While you sleep, your lost board game pieces must quickly climb their way back to their boxes or succumb to the evil vacuum in the morning. 🎲✂️
Mixture of game pieces balanced and stacked haphazardly on a bowl-shaped "board" A table with cards,  game pieces, and people around it

What was their better alternative?

Chris Prime @chrisinhm.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
At least they have a shot at keeping their jobs with a takeover. If they just heading off the runway, then they have no shot

Well, sure... what in this particular situation seems like a bad deal to you?

Chris Prime @chrisinhm.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
But also, being taken over would probably in the best interest of both current ownership and the investor (assuming they are capable of turning the business around). The one thing we know with almost certainty is that they would have gone out of business without capital - bad for employees

I don't see how you can blame a company for accepting an investment. If it's a bad business, you blame the investor for making a bad decision and you congratulate the company for finding a sucker.

Do you blame the panhandler when someone hands them cash?

Chris Prime @chrisinhm.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
💯 but you can't blame them for taking money someone is willing to give them. Seems like a poor investment choice

For sure, but for a company their size that's only like 1.5x their monthly payroll, so all it would take is a bad month or 2 and no one's getting paid

It kinda is because he throws a tantrum and gets us into a war or sends ICE to kill people, but yeah, it wouldn't be with a sane person in charge.

It's just to justify it publicly that it's for "defense" purposes so scotus will let him do it like the ballroom.

Added one to my current project last week. Pretty proud of how light it is. I cut, you choose and there's just a short "pricing" list to decide which pile you get. Bot gets points for what you leave it. Your gameplay is exactly the same as multi player. This box basically shows all the rules

I actually don't mind this because there may be a hidden strategy tip in there that just wasn't executed properly that I can learn from

Chris Prime @chrisinhm.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Agreed! My current project has 6 "suits" (5 in play) with 7 unique cards each - and then a second copy of all of it.

Venusian Vegas the card game, now in public alpha. 🙂 A year ago I was finishing up the print files to prep for PAXU IGNM and now it's on BGA! 🎲✂️

An interesting question to gauge the quality whatever you’re working on: If this was the ONLY work people ever saw of yours, would you be proud of it? 🎲✂️

Master of Coin
Flip coins to manage the fortunes of a fledgling fantasy kingdom. Can you balance the books and be crowned Master of Coin?

On the one hand. Yes. On the other - a 5 sentence rulebook that fits on the same page as the game board is something to strive for.

Using math to balance your game is like measuring your ingredients for cooking. It provides a useable baseline, but it's no substitute for good old tasting

I like this analogy

Chris Prime @chrisinhm.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
I think the main issue I have is that the - is also a hyphen, so at first glance it looks like a typo in a range "what's the second number supposed to be after the dash?" The + is less frequently like that (& is the clearer way to say that anyway, so you know it's not actually mathing anything)

Half-Lifed (prototype 🎲✂️) (I cut, you choose, tableau-building) Venusian Vegas (Trick-taking, engine-building, hand-management) My 2 games are now in private alpha on BGA. Let me know if you're interested in playing with me and I'll add you to the group.

Well, the next logical step is you host some sort of tournament/gauntlet to declare the ultimate trick-taking champion of all time

Chris Prime @chrisinhm.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
This is why I'm having so much fun with my latest design that revolves around I cut, you choose. Let the table do most of the heavy lifting with the balancing
