Joe, Erin, Xoe, and Matt all poured our hearts into this game. I think you can feel it when you play. I don't think there's a better value for your game dollar, either. $8 for ten digital canvasses is a steal! (Not literally; LunarPunk is very ethical) Or $12 for 15. It's very worth!

In each Color Jam picture by Erin Laue, there are spaces that different people can interpret in different ways. So in the case of Torii Gate, which I've been coloring in my video series, you can decide how many tails the fox has. Yes, our art is 100% human made! ✋ youtube.com/shorts/a1vhz...

Anyone got some advice, insights, or good rule of thumbs for designing a solo mode for board games? I'm making one that acts like a player building buildings, completing missions to interact with the player, take up space, and race you in VP. It's going well, but I'd love hear your experiences 🎲✂️
