So long, and thanks for all the fish 🐬 Bluesky was fun but its algorithms continue to frustrate the experience I'm after 😞 I'll remain on Mastodon for the foreseeable future 🐘 fosstodon.org/@s3rvant

Orapa Mine is a puzzly little brain burner of a board game We've played it several times already usually enough rounds each session so each player can have a turn designing the puzzle #boardgames #gaming

Daughter and son-in-law came over tonight which means... board games! She requested roll-n-writes and specifically another go at Orapa Mine with picks ending up as: 1 game of Welcome To (lost) 3 rounds of Orapa Mine (won x2) 1 game of Koala Rescue Club (won, 1st time playing) #boardgames #gaming

Kiddos have been building better Pokemon decks so looked up some cheaper decks to tinker with and ended up building a budget Greninja EX deck based on a few others that I had found. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up. pokemoncard.io/deck/budget-... #pokemontcg #pokemon #gaming

Peeps, the physical version of Everspark is just around the corner, which means you just have TWO MORE DAYS to get it at pre-sale price. 🥳🥳 Now is the time! 📣📣

Protospiel Online is one of my favorite conventions as a game designer; both getting and giving feedback with other designers has lead to some of the most rapid design iteration of any other playtesting I've done

Couldn’t resist and added a map-making procedure to Everspark 😄 This one used hand gestures! Boy, the fun I have with those things 😅

Also got in a game of #Faraway where the cards most certainly conspired against me... could NOT find the 2nd plant icon I needed so my entire lineup only scored 4 points... Fortunately my sanctuaries came through allowing a narrow victory #boardgames #gaming

Got in a game of #Flamecraft with youngest son while lady folks were out and about. 💙 gained a small lead in early game and then took off mid game as ❤️ hit a slump. Late game ❤️ started scoring several shop upgrades but 💙 had a couple big payoffs at the end that sealed their win #boardgames #gaming

First play of the new Lord of the Rings trick taking board game. Work together in this card game loosely following the fellowship storyline over 3 chapters. Each game, players are given different characters with unique requirements for victory. All need to be met to win. So far it's good stuff!

Our annual Christmas treasure hunt will be the biggest it's ever been this year with 11 participants each after tiny sticky notes with the numbers they need to figure out their final gifts. ChatGPT has been a huge help as I simply do not have the brain space to create all the clues needed... #ai

Entering and winning the Cardboard Edison award in 2023 was a huge part of the journey of my game Diatoms. If you’ve got a special game in the works, considering submitting. Everything you make for the submission will generally strengthen your game and the judge feedback notes are useful. 🎲✂️
