This is the first time I’ve won Race for the Galaxy with only points for buildings.

I love when my parents visit. We have so much fun together. They're helping me test the games in our upcoming NorthStar Cafe line. Cluster Flock is their favorite!

Few things make me happier than a superfan geeking out about my work.

At GenCon this year, a fan gave me art created from the Oceans punchboards. I live for moments like that. 🥰

Nature: Climate is releasing into retail this month! It's a redesign of Evolution: Climate, shaped by feedback from more than 400 fans. This image shows how the climate moved during 200,000 simulations of the game.

A HUGE thank you to Shoe from @goinganalogshow.bsky.social who gave me a PS5 controller at GenCon for my son. It's a very limited print run that was only given to a few @riotgames.com employees. I gave it to Daniel this morning and he went crazy! It's so rare we couldn't even find it online.

Here is a sneak peek at our next project. Starlines is a deckbuilder with no text on the cards and no shuffling. An innovative visual system of connecting lines replaces words. No text. No shuffling. Just connections. www.kickstarter.com/projects/nor...

We’re working on a new product line of games to share with your casual gaming friends and family. I’d say this final round was a smashing success!

The Game Kastle @gamekastlecp.bsky.social thinks my game is OP. I could not agree more!

My daughter says my head is like a billboard, so she secretly put a sticker on me and then told me 20 minutes later.

I’m very proud of my son. His dream to play basketball started several years ago, but his confidence has been struggling to keep up with his skills. He’s been averaging 2 points a game for the past 100+ games. His fear of being selfish and letting down the team has been holding him back… 1/2

My daughter and I played the first 4 games of Cozy Stickerville. It was fantastic. I can’t wait to play more.

There is only one game my son will play with me now and I just got a photo with the designer. 😍

These are rough draft sketches to help us work on a box cover for a sci-fi game about building out networks to explore the galaxy. We will not use AI in the final product. Please vote for your favorite art style. 1, 2, 3, or 4

The Amazon Rainforest module (8.0 BGG rating) launches today with a fantastic launch special. This module has been an office favorite for years. I'm excited to see what the community thinks now that it's finally being released. www.northstargames.com/pages/amazon...

I’m designing a cooperative scenario based deck-builder dice-chucker skirmish game. What other mechanics should I consider adding?

How do I design my games you ask? This is how…

From an email I just received… “We just back from the Nuremberg Toy Fair. We have seen that this series of Nature products are very popular.” 🥰♥️♥️♥️ This makes me very happy. NorthStar was in dire need of a big win like this.

This is why it’s generally a bad idea to plug the sink, turn on the faucet, and get work done while it fills up.

The New Year started with a family reunion full of love. I could not imagine a better start for the year. The Gang, Salad Bowl (the original Monikers), and Brilliant Misfits were the biggest hits of the weekend. @cooperjohn.bsky.social

I played The Gang and Fate of the Fellowship for Christmas. The Gang continues to be spectacular, though honestly, breakfast with my son was the highlight of my day. @cooperjohn.bsky.social

I woke up without an alarm, ate breakfast at a cozy bakery, and worked on a prototype which (fingers crossed) is my first game with a chance at a Spiel nomination. Life is good. Happy Holidays everyone!

The second deck builder I’m working on is a dice chucker that may or may not be set in the Star Wars universe.

Dominic Crapuchettes @dcrapuchettes.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

I’m working on two games that I’m excited about. They’re both explorations into deck building; trying to make them more accessible without losing the depth. This is the first prototype from early 2020. You’ll notice very few words on the cards. There are less now!

I love this species! His first game at Essen, he creates an animal that gets at least 7 food for any hunt!
