This game may not be for everyone, but you can't fake the joy that I see from literally everyone that plays this game. It's a testament to the work that @coinflip.games & I have done over the years, breaking the mold of what games can accomplish!

There's just over one day left on the Cascadia: Alpine Lakes campaign! The team worked really hard to make this design a worthy sequel to Cascadia, and I'll be ever thankful. Working with such talented game creators is an honor and a privilege I won't take for granted!

Having a good time working on a standard deck of cards. It’s starting to set in though that 52 is a lot of cards and I’ve ended up committing myself to drawing unique swirls on every one 😅

I was worried I overhyped Chicken Fried Dice (@urbanprogames.bsky.social ) and that my wife wouldn't like it as much as I did when we got to play it.
The response was "Best game we played this year"
Adding in the best card in the game, if I do say so myself.
