I have been working on a hex based tile placement game in Godot as well, and this post is very inspiring. The card suits and effects are pretty intuitive and easy to read. The "shuffle" + "buy grace" buttons make sense, I don't know what those other buttons do at a glance. Keep up the great work!

Invasion looks great! I like the concept a bunch. I don't have a ton of time to play games nowadays, but a short 2 player card game is right up my alley! Best of luck in the finals!

Wow! Congratulations! Your pitch video isn't joking. Branching Out has awesome table presence. I love cooperative games, and this is an awesome theme to work with. The secret goals are an interesting twist. I can the potential for a lot of depth. Best of luck in the finals!

Some coworkers and I played my #boardgame after work today and had a great time! They picked up the rules by their 3rd turn and started to see the decision space. The best thing I heard from them; "can we play again?" 🥲. We had to cut the game short, but I am so pleased!

🎲✂️Finally have my board game prototype in a digital format. I have a much better appreciation for all the work that goes into making a game on Screen Top. One step closer to submitting my co-op #boardgame to @cardboardedison.com . I want to make sure my rule book has visual examples first!

The main game board in the center shows satellites, pawns, and debris in orbit around Earth. To the left of the game board, we have player spaceship cards with HP, debris capacity, & resource cards. On the right, we have the satellites that must be repaired to win the game.

I've never attended, but I'm thinking about joining. I have a 9 month old that takes up a lot of my time during the weekend. Do you think I would still get value out of it if I could only attend for 4-5 hours total? How much time did you spend participating in past events?

DevPhoenix @devphoenix.bsky.social · 04/01/2025
I ran into a similar design problem recently. A drawback of option 1 is that it disincentivizes shuffling the cards after setup, because you would undo all of your work. If you never need to shuffle the deck after setup, I think option 1 is worth the small extra setup time.
