It's been a long and winding road for this one, but I'm absolutely here for it!

Hard at work designing this #boardgame for real now.

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm lovin' it. Originally these were just for fun, but of course I've come up with a #boardgamedesign I might try these on!

Meet my latest game idea: Memaw's Cookie Jar So far play tests have gone fantastic! It's not a kid's game, but my 5 & 6 year old both really like it (probably in part because of the toy cookies). And yes, that is a Pringles can substituting for a cookie jar. :) #boardgamedesign

A short Pringles can with toy cookies spilling out.

A bunch of little blob characters. Half are colored in, the other half are still outlines.

Still thinking about our realtor who got less and less responsive until she fully ghosted us on the house we ended up buying, which was also at the top of our budget. Literally the diamond mines meme.

Tried a new game idea with the kids yesterday. It was a weird middle ground between adult game and kids game that ended up not being great for either. The kids loved it anyway! They've never spent as much time playtesting a design as they did with this one. #boardgamedesign

A sheet a paper with a player aid written on the left side and a picture of a silly monster on the right side. (also a cute little minion monster)

To anyone who thinks they hate ginger ale, please try something other than Seagrams, Schweppes or Canada Dry, they’re all F-tier ginger ales. To anyone who has and still hates it, you are dead to me.

The whole family watch My Neighbor Totoro last night. It was our first Ghibli film. The kids loved it! My wife really enjoyed it to which I was concerned about. A big hit all around!

This was an image in one of my day job's training modules, presumably reviewed and approved by an actual human™ before sending it out to employees at large. There's a lesson in there somewhere....

🎉 I am beyond thrilled to announce that my game Evenglow (née Potion Patch) will debut at GenCon '26 with The Op, with art by Clémentine Campardou (who you might know as the artist behind Wyrmspan, Floriferous, Origin Story and more). This is it, folks. The dream, come true. #boardgames 🎲✂️

The box cover for the board game Evenglow. It is a painting of a potion bottle in a wooded setting. Half of the box is blueish, half is pinkish, split down the center. At the top is the word, "Evenglow."

I have a light game about being international monkey spies that are trying to collect as much of their target fruit as possible without their secret identity being blown. Which of these names do you like best? • Primate Directive • Mission: Impeelable • Something else (comment) #boardgamedesign

Digital tabletop with cards laid out. In the center is a 3x3 grid of square cards that contain different fruit on them. Around the edges of the table are cards stating your agent number.

We got a lot of packages leading up to Christmas, so my daughter and I decided to cut out and paint a little fireplace out of two of them. We had a lot of fun and may just have to do "Cardboard Christmas" again next year!

You’re telling me the 5 flavors are sweet, salty, sour, bitter and UMAMI? What even is UMAMI? The fact that it has 2 extra syllables let’s me know it’s a FAKE flavor!
