✴️Fun fact #692: Due to its isolation, Buru has many species found nowhere else, such as the Buru boobook owl, Buru racket-tail, and the Buru opalescent birdwing butterfly. #boardgames

I think Abstract Academy is becoming one of my favorite "on the road" games. Small, fast, and about to score one dandy of a yellow section.💛 #art #cardgames

🔱 Our graphics team touched nearly every Ostia tile. This is because our playtests identified that the immediate and endgame icons consistently improved a player's understanding of how and when benefits are gained and used. craftygames.pledgemanager.com/projects/ost...

🔱 Ostia details: With the Construction Track boards - we aimed to simplify. We decluttered the background texture, moved the Triumph icons into both the tracks and added the immediate icon to them, and swapped the shipbuilding and construction tracks. craftygames.pledgemanager.com/projects/ost...

We used a much cleaner font for all the city names in our Ostia: Mariner Edition. We labeled the Local Sea and Distant Sea on either side of the dotted line. We also adjusted the colors of the Initial Port / Port tiles & spaces to aid low vision players. #boardgames #preorder

We need a good band name!🤩 Humpy landed at Essen with his friends...and their pic kind of looks like a boy band reunion picture. Best suggestion gets a bucket of hay. #essen #boardgames

🔱OSTIA ICON CHANGE: We replaced and renamed one of the six core action icons - originally called Order and represented by the Amphora in the action frame - because we thought it was unnecessarily confusing to have the same icon representing both an action and a resource. #boardgames

Thematic Integration🛕: Did you know that the Buru First Player Emissary token is based on a real place? That's right. It's Wringin Lawang, aka the "Banyan Tree Gate" at Trowulan, the original Majapahit royal compound! #boardgames

🔱 We love the Ostia insert. The deluxe feel, the demure color, and the intuitive placements make setup and break down a breeze while setting the tone for great gameplay ahead. There must be other inserts just as good. Do any others come to mind? #boardgames

It's one thing when accessories are functional, but another when they are art. The resource bowls for Buru might be the epitome of elegance.
