Dan (R.B.D.) @yeknom.bsky.social · 29/09/2026For any game designers out there, is this a common problem? I was walking in the park for about an hour over the weekend. I thought of about five or so different tweaks to a prototype game that I've relegated to the back burner for over a year. 100

Dan (R.B.D.) @yeknom.bsky.social · 19/09/2026[Thread] I've been thinking a lot about why I'm so drawn to the board games that I like. 18xx games, Cole Wehrle games (note avatar), negotiation games, old-school Euro games... I often thought I am simply a fan of "interaction." But how much more vague a description can you get? 140
