I love designing games, it’s so much fun!

I’m half way through my 2nd solo 4 player play test of Barbarians @the Gate. I made many changes after the 1st play. It’s much smoother and works well. You are a tycoon, building your empire by exploiting the workers on the board, they live in an endless cycle of bills and debt. I hope it’s fun!

I just started my first solo 4 handed play test of my new game. I can already see I need to give players some resources before the game starts, I think a card draft would work. I may change the name.

I’m working on a new little card game called Barbarians @the Gate. In the centre the pawns will move around the board paying rent accumulated debt. In the card play you are trying to get rich by collecting the pawns rent and debt. You move the pawns but do not own any of them.

This is a prototype trick taking versus lane battler. Win tricks and dice battles to move along the track. The track is made up of one time use powers. I’m using Red Rising cards as the combatants, Mustang vs Lysander! I’ve only play tested solo, so I’m looking forward to exploring the game

I’m play testing a new scoring system for 3 Ravenz. Rather than winning points you would be winning tricks. I’ll get to test it live next month in various places around the world. I’ll do some solo testing first tho. The new system allows for a scoring track and card where I can add a player aid.

This is a solo playtest from awhile back, the game has changed a bit since then. It needs proper playtesting, for first play tests I try to keep everything in there and see what happens.

I’m doing some solo play testing of my new trick taking lane battler. The solo is just random but is good for testing mechs. I’m using minis from Halo: Flashpoint for the battling. It works pretty well, I need to test with people because the automa is easy to beat. Using the minis adds a lot.

Kerf Cut Games @kerfcutgames.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

I completed my solo learning game of Federation I scored 127 points but I didn’t use everything and learned as it went. The automa is easy to use as this is a beat your own score solo game. It just restricts your worker placement spaces and adds rising point thresholds for scoring.

Kerf Cut Games @kerfcutgames.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

I’m playing a learning game of Federation with the solo mode. I’ve wanted this game since it was first on KS, but it was 2 to 4 players. I finally broke down and bought it and the solo expansion. I still haven’t figured it all out yet.

I love it when comicsgate-ish a holes title their YouTube videos so it’s obvious and I don’t accidentally start watching it. That way I can just hit “don’t recommend channel” and it will go away for awhile. That content is insidious tho and always comes back. Stay vigilante.

I did some playtesting on Wednesday night, I tested War Canoe, Feral Feline Furenzii (not seen). And for the first play test ever, AWG: Let’s gets some Pins and a blind test of 3 Ravenz. I got some amazing feedback, it was really fun, thank you to those who came out!

I’m running a workshop where we will develop a small modern card game using traditional card games as a base. It‘s about iteration as a process ofgame development. We will work in teams to make games that speak to your experiences. It’s on Thursday night at the Daphne Art centre in Montreal.

The latest version of my virtual board for my latest prototype. I e been updating the virtual board based on play tests, it helps me think just to look at it.

Kerf Cut Games @kerfcutgames.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

The second play test is done, with tweaks pretty much everywhere, it is a much more engaging game. The more robust automa, which just blocks spaces really did a great job.

I finished my first solo play test, the game works, a lot of dice chucking with mitigation. I can already see some rule changes. I like the Hugo card look for the player board/pin collection. I can’t wait to try it with people

This will be my first test of my newest idea, AWG: Let’s get some Pins! Dice rolling, worker Placement and set collection

Kerf Cut Games @kerfcutgames.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

I’m still working on making a prototype but working on the board helps me develop the idea as I go. I have no idea if it will work in real life, but I like this process because it like an idea board. I like the look of the background tho.

Kerf Cut Games @kerfcutgames.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

I’m working on a new game, the working title is, AWG: Let’s get some Pins!, the game is a series of mini-games. It’s primarily a dice rolling, worker placement, set collection game, it plays 1 to 5 players. It’s about collecting pins at the Arctic Winter Games. I love game design.

I am taking the feedback I got from my last prototype of the 3 Ravenz Trick Taking Game and making a new prototype. I have written countless drafts of my rulebook in the last year and tweaked a few rules.

Based on feedback from blind play testing of my rulebook and my prototype, I’m redesigning the cards and I’ve done extensive rewrites of my rulebook.This will be the basic design for pip cards, 1 to 10 in 4 suits. I will be documenting the creation of a new deck for 3 Ravenz.
