I loved the Crimson Skies CMG that Wizkids put out. I still have my planes and the rules. Brilliant game, I has so much fun with it.

Hubworld Aidalon is a 10 out of 10 card game, truly amazing. Gameplay so engaging, so clever, you gonna keep coming back, and back. I highly recommend! #boardgames #cardgamer

I have two Expandable Card Games I have been developing for quite a while now. 1. Treasure Hunters ECG, an Indiana Jones style setting where your team is trying to find Treasures and get them home before the other players do. 2-4 players.

I have played too few of your games but I admire the designs of the ones I have played. My heart is still with A Game of Thrones CCG. The LCG was good too, but I liked the CCG better. I'm still dying to know how Cyberpunk Afterlife card game played!

Wow sounds great. You have piqued my interest to find out what is Locard's exchange principle.

Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots nataliewalschots.com This book kicks ass and I love it. I think you will too. I just finished an advanced reader copy of her sequel, Villain, which comes out in a couple months and it's epic!

And I have an idea for a card game that is not war focused, and can be played competitive or cooperative. Collecting spice, dodging sandworms, outwitting your opponents. Let's see if I can put something together for rules and prototypes.

Vergent Games @vergent.bsky.social · 02/02/2026
Dune is such an epic. So massive in scope, the primary action of the first 3 novels is focused on Arrakis, the Fremen, and the conflicts over Spice. It deserves an epic card game, because the old Dune CCG from 30 years ago was over-complicated and cumbersome. Dune deserves slick modern gameplay.

I put very little thought or energy into the "alpha gamer problem" as a designer. There are a lot of such bugaboos that you can't really solve without stripping the life out of many designs. It's not my job to tell your pushy friend to shut up during your turn. That's a boundary you need to set.

Also heavily considering purchasing Root for iPad. But... is it close enough to the tabletop game? If I learn the iPad version, can I go straight to tabletop and pretty much know what I'm doing?

Played Ticket To Ride with the visiting family (non-gamers), everyone had a great time and really enjoyed it. I won with 146. My wife bought me Roll For The Galaxy. ❤️ Her. Now I have a new project, read and comprehend the rules.

This makes me sad. AI sucks in manifold and increasing ways. And kids clearly are already being affected negatively, and will be increasingly.

I see that Louis in German is Ludwig. But the coin doesn't match Castles of Mad King Ludwig. Sorry. Just trying to be helpful.

Vergent Games @vergent.bsky.social · 22/12/2025
Or Bohemia?

Vergent Games @vergent.bsky.social · 21/12/2025
The Latin for the coin reads, essentially "Louis the first by the grace of God, King of Bohemia" The coin appears to match the coins in the game Bohemian Villages.

These look similar to the coins in Louis XIV.

We shared the featherbed half, my younger brother Warren & I. He'd slept sound with his sister. Until the Jovians' faceless emissary arrived demanding me. He gave himself instead, the winds drowning my cries. Now l lie on my featherbed half, with the indentation of his memory, never sleeping sound.
