Looking for something to do at #GenCon? Check out Journey to Skyhaven, a hiking and herding game featuring these wonderful critters:

Bumped into someone I demoed for in the TSA line, and they told me Journey to Skyhaven was their favorite game from #Origins - absolutely made my weekend!

Today, the first #boardgame by The Seahorse & The Hummingbird is born. No more tweaking. No more editing. No more testing. No more feedback. Pyrotechnics *is*. 🎆 To celebrate, I'll share the Pyrotechnics design diary by @backwardscapgames.bsky.social. It's a good read. Have a look. #gamedesign 🎲✂️

2 days left to get early bird admission for Protospiel Online August 22-24 2025! Doors to our online board game playtesting convention open Fri Aug 22 at noon US Eastern. 60 solid hours of playtesting and networking! 🎲♟️🃏 protospiel.online/badges 🎲✂️ #boardgamedesign #tabletopdesign #playtesting

When I attended Protospiel Online for the first time, I didn't quite know what kind of thing I was getting myself into. From the very first minute I joined, the host in the room was incredibly welcoming and helpful, and everyone was positive and supportive throughout. It was great to experience such a wide variety of games in such a short space of time, and to talk to more experienced designers in between games. ~Nik Silver

I’m doing victory laps in my kitchen right now!!!! 💃🏼 CGE just announced they are going to be giving away 100% of the profit from their Harry Potter game to pro-trans charities!! www.instagram.com/p/DNG48n-IVP...

A screenshot of CGE’s instagram page:

“With the above in mind, and after many heartfelt and vital discussions both internally and with members of the affected community, we have decided to donate 100% of the profit from this game to appropriate charitable organizations. We will ensure that an amount equal to our greater than the fee paid to license this product will go directly to organizations that provide support for the trans community.

We evaluate profits and make charitable-giving decisions each December, and we will continue using this annual process to direct the games profits. We will listen to recommendations from the community to help guide our choices of organizations that provide support for the trans community. Or goal is to select those that offer direct, practical help to people in need — for example, services similar to the emergency hotline that was recently discontinued.”

‼️ Pyrotechnics needs your help! I'm looking for unguided playtesters to take Pyrotechnics for a spin and point out any areas of confusion or friction. Two people, ten minutes of play... probably ten minutes to synthesize the rules, but your results may vary. 🧵 1 of 3 #boardgames #gamedesign 🎲✂️
