We had a great time at #PAXU this year. Thank you to everyone who dropped by the booth, played a demo or full game of Galactic Cruise, or even just chatted with us in a hallway! It was a fantastic time. #boardgame #boardgames #paxunplugged

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We have lots to be thankful for here at Kinson Key Games: supportive families, continued excitement about Galactic Cruise (and the projects beyond), a wonderful world of diverse and exciting board games, and our fabulous colleagues. Chief among those: Ian O’Toole! 🎨🐐

We got to play Fromage from R2i (Road to Infamy) tonight. It is a fantastic simultaneous worker placement #boardgame that features a light rules overhead coupled with some really thinky spatial puzzling. Plus the board spins. Plus it’s about cheese! 🧀 (1/2)

The board game Fromage, set up for 2 players.

For those of you interested in self-publishing #boardgames, what are some of the burning questions you have about the process? (This question is very open ended on purpose.) We have started a small, short-form video series where we try to address self-publishing questions and would love to (1/2)

PAX Unplugged is just around the corner! We are pleased to announce that, due to a last-minute shuffle, we now have a new booth number that’s larger and in a better location! If you’ll be at #PAXUnplugged this year, we’d love to have you stop by Booth 2901! #boardgame #boardgames #GalacticCruise

For all the #boardgamers out there, what is your favorite #boardgame mechanism when playing a game? And if you’re also a 🎲✂️ #boardgamedesigner, is this also the mechanism that you use most often in your designs? Why or why not?

Badges are on sale for one of our favorite events! #ProtoATL is so special to us for a number of reasons, and we encourage every #boardgame designer 🎲✂️ to come if you can; you won’t regret it! (Also, we will be part of a self-publishing seminar, which should be fun!) #boardgames #prototypes

A photo detailing the dates of ProtoATL: March 20-23, 2025.

Further details about ProtoATL: Kickstarter and Rawstone are sponsors, Kinson Key Games (and others) will be part of seminars, and publishers will be there looking for their future titles.

It’s a great place to learn about “the business side of gaming.”

We were never very active on Twitter/X, so any and all advice about how to best navigate and make the most of a platform like this would be appreciated. 😁 (Especially as it pertains to the #boardgame community.)

Well here we are on BlueSky! We are looking forward to connecting with other #boardgame folks: publishers, designers, gamers (and everyone in between!). Let’s make this a great place for #boardgames!
