This is so disappointing. I read one of the books (Mistook a Hat) and found it so interesting and informative. To learn it was essentially a work of fiction changes how I feel about it.

I will be playtesting my game, The Great Patch, from 4-7 pm on August 15 at the HiJinx Tabletop Gaming Convention in West Lebanon, NH. A bunch of area designers will be testing theirs as well. So make a day (or weekend) of it built around checking out my game!! Hint. 🎲✂️ HiJinxcon.com
The Great Patch - a cooperative engine-builder about reducing the amount of plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch- is shown during a playtest in Boston earlier this year. One player is using tweezers to remove wooden sticks that represent microplastics in the game.

Every now and then, I get this notion of starting my own game publishing company. Having control over some of my designs and giving visibility and life to others’ designs I love. Then I shudder, begin to sweat, and think “No effing way.” I will just continue to like, repost, and talk with people.

Evenglow is simply a brilliant set collection tile layer. The design is so good. Having to place tiles in mirrored positions in two gardens creates such interesting decisions. The potions aren’t necessarily easy to get but are critical to fixing placement mistakes or completing sets. Love it! 2/2
