Honored and tickled by Dan Thurot’s review of Rowin, to be sold at IGNM at Pax Unplugged.

“There’s no small measure of hate-drafting...”

“There’s the pleasant whiff of press-your-luck…”

“It has that classic feel, like something you’d dredge out of an old monastery’s archives.”

“I dig it.”

had our first new game release in months, and it's my crossword dice game cross4! I made it because I love the crossword dice games of the twentieth century, and wanted to make one with a little more arc and meat to it. 🧵

I’m gearing up to sell three indie titles at the Indie Game Night Market coming to PAXu this November. Art is finalized and proofs are on their way. Here is the cover to “Glass Half Full” a TT with some fun hooks. All the art or suits are inspired by optimism idioms.

When the Expo Hall closes, the indies come out to play. Head down to Summit Level 0 on Saturday night during PAX West for that small-batch, limited-run, bespoke artisanal cardboard.

I totally forgot to post this. My latest 2-3 player trick-taking game Kvass has officially released!

Kvass is a trick-taker based on the classic game 1000 but adapted to be playable with dominoes!

I HIGHLY recommend submitting. Especially if it’s weird/otherwise unpublishable.

This space is ripe for new and experimental forms of game design. If you have something cool—come share!

I cannot wait to see what gets made for this year’s Indie Games Night Market!!!

Who likes Cribbage and is going to Unpub?

Indiana and I have designed a little combo-building game we're calling Voyage, and we're so excited to playtest it with folks in Baltimore!

Congrats to our pals at @allplay.bsky.social for claiming both top spots of the hotness!

This is so exciting; Sail was one of the best games of 2023 and still sits pretty on my list of trick takers. Legacy is going to rock, I just know it!! 🤘🏻
