Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 2hWe played twice with random nine card decks each. I was unlucky both by getting to many similar cards and getting mismatching dicepool rolls. Also playing against Moa that can easily beat me if I don't play at my best. Random starting decks needs both 1-3 more cards and perhaps some curation. 000
Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I feel stupid for not realizing that the different color borders are too similar. The cards are double coded with different icons in the top left corner but still. Always accommodate for dim lights. Good thing it's only a test print. 000
Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Connect Four is solved yet I don't think I've ever seen a draw. I'd say the feeling a draw gives me is different if it's a kid's game, a casual game or a duel of skill. A draw is better than a random winner. 010

Both games are nominated for the Swedish Family Game of the Year award, Årets Spel, so naturally we had to get together and play each other’s games! 1163
Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Thanks! I've tried every kind of wacom and pad there is but the hurdle is to high for me. I don't even scan sketches. I take photos with my phone and draw vectors on top of a different layer with a mouse. 010
Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I feel the same. I'm happy that I have proof of the process but since I'm so digital after the inital pencil sketch I'm worried people would think that it's not made by a human. 110
Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The cards for Bones & Banners have been streamlined to reduce the amount of text on them. 011

Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 13/07/2026That tracks with me too. Too often people wing it when they don't know a rule so I'm always worried the game might derail if I don't know what's up. 010
Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 13/07/20261. I will learn the game before. 2. I will usually do the teach. 3. Never in my whole life. 110

Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 30/05/20261. Always present but small and cards pop out when you click them and you can drag cards in and out of your hand. 000
Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 28/05/2026The production on this book is outstanding. Gloss on the cover that has folding front and back flaps. Stunning inkwork and colors and the kind of paper that serves this art the best. It is also sick that @vor-bokor.bsky.social has an extra space between open colors and rich black for Jason to work. 210

Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 30/04/2026In what order do you want me to read the boxes and look at the images? If you would draw a red line showing how you guide the readers eyes, what would that look like? 110
Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 09/04/2026I don't read examples if I feel like I don't have to. Yet for a well written rulebook I'm more willing to read them anyways. Adding examples to a badly written rulebook on the other hand makes the rulebook even worse. I'm in favour of visual examples that compliment a tightly written rulebook. 000
Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Out of spite I've kept a list of videos by reviewers and designers, men and women, high and low profile people on this topic for years. I realized I was breaking so many of their "dont's" of boardgame design and i re-evaluate their point of view every now and then but honestly I'm no professional! 010
Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 03/04/2026While still a future problem I don't know how to fix I realized that the specific situation (late stage changes to several cards) that made me think about this problem works with the rules as written and does not need an appendix. Writing solid core rules to begin with is always the best solution. 010
Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Writing board game rules is hard work. 🎲✂️ Writing future proof rules for a living card game feels near impossible. If I don't want to reprint the whole rulebook, what do I do? Has any game managed to add rules via an appendix? Adding rules on stickers is cool but needs to be planned ahead of time. 341

Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 24/03/2026I did a couple of tests and none of them felt that good. Trying to have a background pattern that you have to turn the circular tiles into became too busy. 010
Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 23/03/2026I'm on my way to work but when I get back I will make new star symbols that naturally align themselves to the map and/or grid so you can have circular tiles. I have a few ideas. 110
Tor Viktorsson @torviktorsson.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Is this the right yellow? The white text / yellow background contrast is too low for me. The yellow in your bluesky avatar would be OK. Perhaps it's bluesky who has shifted the brightness? 111
