Color Jam (I got a review copy from @lunarpunk.games) is live on Kickstarter now and I got some glitter markers for my kids bday party so I decided to try a page with those markers! Some were already running out (after being used by kids) but they were really pretty when they worked well!

Color Jam finished game. A coloring page with a dragon on top of its hoard, and an egg and a rat in the foreground. Crayola Glitter markers used - maroon mist, campfire flicker, blue blazes, silver sparks, orchid explosion, golden dust

First rainy night of fall so cozied up with some solo Color Jam and a bowl of cheezies. It's surprisingly tricky to play strategically and you soon find yourself having to improvise and stretch reality to fill the gap both colorfully and narratively.

Jamming with color @lunarpunk.games My daughter and I burned through all the pages for Color It so it's perfect timing for a new coloring challenge.

If you look back at how we used the word "game" historically, it wasn't until recently that the definition narrowed to hierarchical win/lose conditions. In fact, outside the hobby it's still common to use "game" as a playful activity. (Many song lyrics still use the term that way.)

2213

Lunarpunk Games @lunarpunk.games · 10/08/2026

Games can be games without a hierarchical result. We must broaden traditional definitions of tabletop games to give designers the agency and opportunity to express themselves in new, exciting, and challenging ways. We should be creating new ways to explore artistic mediums, not shutting them down.

Lunarpunk Games @lunarpunk.games · 06/08/2026

I know we've been sharing a lot of Color Jam stuff recently, but it always brings us back to an exciting question for other designs which is: "What are players creating through play?" It's not always a tangible thing like a picture. Sometimes it's a conversation, feeling, or a special memory.

Too interested to wait, I wrote some numbers haphazardly on one of my kids’ colouring sheets and tried a samizdat game of @lunarpunk.games’s Color Jam. Even playing my unofficial version, I found it thought provoking. (Mini 🧵)

Turns out Color Jam is good for travel too! I brought some midliners and just played a solo game in the hotel. It’s fun and relaxing to just color stuff in, and it’s neat going for mini goals (like trying to get a rainbow thing going in the waterfall area)! @lunarpunk.games

Finished coloring sheet of Color Jam. It’s a unicorn and a castle and a waterfall and bridge, colored in different pastel highlighter colors.

Narrative outcomes are one of our favorite ways to explore game end states. Win/Lose makes sense for some things, but the games we play are ultimately the stories we write, solo or together. It can be pretty cool and impactful to see how your story ends based on the choices you made through play.

Lunarpunk Games @lunarpunk.games · 06/07/2026

One of our favorite things about Color Jam is seeing how people build a story around their coloring choices. Due to the game's puzzle, we stylized some spaces to be interpreted in different ways. In the photos below, the spaces in the middle right either be a hot air balloon or a part of a cactus!
