When I talk about the Bonsai Diary, I underline anyone can play, even people who "aren't good at drawing." (By the way, no one is bad at drawing.) But that doesn't mean you have to hold back if art is your thing! These watercolors by Ariaflore (Instagram) are just stunning. What a gift!

"Nature" is, appropriately, the results of years of iteration from "Evolution." During that time @dcrapuchettes.bsky.social has taken the game in a direction I rarely see when systems evolve: stripping away rather than adding complexity. The result is faster and more accessible than the...

No seriously guys I need your votes or else I'm playing this game all alone. Where should I color next?

Coloring page depicting a torii. Four choices of where to color next are:
1. Green in tree canopy
2. Purple below the purple fox
3. Dark blue in the sky inside the torii
4. Red in the drippy area below the fox

The vote went to "2" so I broke symmetry and colored the top-left of the gate BROWN. That's different! Vote on where I color next! We're in the Color Jam mid game, and multiplayer is very different than solitaire! youtube.com/shorts/1pzZ9...

I wonder if this is how it used to feel to be on television? Appearing on Third Floor Wars' Tabletop Talk has been a Big Goal since I discovered the show and Craig's perfect radio voice. And great questions! (I seem pretty serious for a guy so in love (with coloring))

Color Jam (I got a review copy from @lunarpunk.games) is live on Kickstarter now and I got some glitter markers for my kids bday party so I decided to try a page with those markers! Some were already running out (after being used by kids) but they were really pretty when they worked well!

I'm delighted when The Bonsai Diary surprises or frustrates. Who can ask for anything more of a mini-recommend by @chasecarter.bsky.social (y'all best subscribe to @rascal.news yeah?) Chase was looking at the Solo September bundle from @rpgtrader.com -- today's the very last day to snag it!

Bonsai Diary, by Gene Koo, operationalizes contemplation in a way that will either surprise or frustrate you — probably both. Nominated for both ENNIEs and an Origins award, this game is a firm but gentle push towards sitting with yourself.

First rainy night of fall so cozied up with some solo Color Jam and a bowl of cheezies. It's surprisingly tricky to play strategically and you soon find yourself having to improvise and stretch reality to fill the gap both colorfully and narratively.

Every piece of art in Color Jam is lovingly crafted by artist Erin Laue. We also carefully numbered each to give strategic depth. In fact, from a designer POV I think of them more like "levels." For example, numbering spaces in the same object the same is tricksy! youtube.com/shorts/dlkK5...

It's a trap! If you use up all your 1s, whatever crayon is on 1 gets stuck there for the rest of the game! We talked about this as we played with @panda8ngel.bsky.social yesterday. Just one of many strategies that emerge in Color Jam. youtube.com/shorts/2GeGq...
