Hi 🎲✂️ friends, for over a year I've been developing a new, highly asymmetric 2-player game for Plaid Hat with a fantasy theme and a lot of Netrunner inspiration. Please send me a chat here if you are interested in playtesting it on screentop.gg or via print and play.

Super Auto Pets Card Battle. I never get the name right when I try to say it - but I got the win! Over multiple rounds you buy/build a deck, secretly setting its order and run it against your opponent’s deck by flipping and resolving cards 1 by 1.

The Monolith is funded and Kickstarter was kind enough to make us a "Project We Love!" As you can imagine, we're feeling pleased. The first day of any campaign can be a real nervous one, but we're overjoyed to see our hunch pay off, and see gamers jump on board. We are relieved and we are thankful!

Tonight and tomorrow are final tests for The Monolith before final files are due. The emotions haven’t fully settled in yet. 3.5 years in, I still love playing this game.

If you’ve followed the channel from the start you know @plaidhatgames.bsky.social has been a staple from the earliest days. Colby followed a game design and publishing dream, and with the help of a PHG crew made it happen. Thanks for making games our family has loved, and for being people I love.
