Coming soon to PAX U: TIGER Kidnap the Emperor's Son, flee into the woods, and get eaten by a TIGER. In the confusion of night, a reckless move may send any player, even yourself, careening into the TIGER's jaws... (Spectacular art courtesy of @rookliu.bsky.social !)

Making a clay stamp to use on other clay to make footprint components for an upcoming game! Once this dries I'll be able to actually test it

I do enjoy an engine builder that allows a little luck and a little risk-taking to combine into a downright devious stat page.

I am unsure if playing BABATAIRE EX 100 times in a row shows up as 100 individual browser plays or just 1 as far as itch stats are concerned. But in the event of the former:

Folding up some rulebooks for tomorrow. Can't wait to get your hands on the game? Maybe you don't happen to be in Baltimore? I just put the new printable rules to this #boardgame up for FREE on itch! Tell your friends! Tell your enemies! sarahrowan.itch.io/lava-wurm

If you're getting your GameFace on this weekend, keep on your guard for the bright red boxes of LAVA WURM! Vigilance is key when dealing with such a deadly foe. Each #boardgame set is completely handcrafted by me, with paint and wood and cloth and glass.

Handmade meeples, cloth boards, and WURMS! The next batch of LAVA WURM is underway. I'll be taking these to a local game fest in May to find new homes.

I'm making progress on some game projects, but nothing photographable. So instead, behold my hobby project! It's finally time to get back into the swing of painting my minis. They've been raw plastic for far too long

Re-started something old! This #craftwednesday I'm back on a project from long ago. This will one day be a tactical solo game, mimicking some of the genre staples of its digital cousins while keeping the physical elements alive! The core mechanics are coming along. almost time to start level design

Got it on the table this weekend too! @alekerickson.bsky.social we have much to learn, but here's a shot of a particularly tense battle with my mom. Up and down the board we fought!

My package arrived from Japan! Trike is such a smooth game that even the abstract-haters in my family will play it with me. Thanks @kanare-abstract.bsky.social !

Goodbye to Waffle. She was truly a cat of all cats. She is missed.
