some early saturday design work. Expanding on this mancala train idea I had some time ago. What if something like Ostia and 18xx had a baby. (Elseware Express vol2?) Idea is on your turn, you pick an action, train tokens on it are X. 'buy x, build x, etc' then you mancala them around the track.

Through DLC, @bgstatsapp.bsky.social lets you see your cost per play for #boardgames. This hobby is cheaper than going to the movies, but only if you play a game 2+ times. 😜
Do you aim for a certain cost per play? Is this too much detail and eyes should be averted?
What's your best bang for buck?

Life is just a blink. We get a handful of years and it's gone. Our time here is so fleeting on this floating speck in space. We must promise our limited corpses a few pleasures while we're conscious to enjoy them.
Get a slice of Baja Blast tropical lime pie. You're alive. You earned it.

uh. so today's small business lesson. If you run a discord server, the @everyone tag still works for you, the owner, even tho you have it turned off for all the roles.
It was nice seeing everyone i guess. ha!
Just another day in Atopia.
how many servers do you lurk in?

Board games are art. ETERNAL DECKS combines the ancient with the modern through design. It's a stunner; it's also a heck of a game. See for yourself.

Imagine these symbols were presented to you in a cyberpunk setting. What would you think they represent? Say left to right, top to bottom. My best guess in the reply. Curious what you would think is appropriate in the cyberpunk setting. (But also, appropriate for 'play' in a game)

I should post an update as prices and such have changed. (and google domains doesn't exist anymore.)
This was of course the big thing from the previous thread: bsky.app/profile/hino...
I wrote a step by step blog about this. Hope it helps. itch.io/blog/452289/...

I wish we watched boardgame tournaments like we do baseball.
Imagine a nationwide tourney of Lacerda games. The final 4 must play Lisboa, Speakeasy, On Mars and Inventions. Only one can be the champion.
Or a reality game show, 50 mass market gamers. Over 10 games play exploding kittens to Vinhos

The dreaded announcement has finally come out!
TLDR; #Affinity is free now. 1 singular app. Features seem to be at parity with v2. There is canva ai, but it can be hidden/isn't completely coating everything (yet).
What do you think about this announcement? Relieved? Upset?

While itch is up, great time to remind folks it exists and has been a great home for the digital editions of our games.
I do recommend downloading your library, tucking em on a flash drive or something. Just in case. Itch seems to keep being targeted by ai bots.

maybe this is a dumb idea. someone please tell me. I wish i had the tools to put this together and try it.
Would a little wood token like this hold up to 5 sleeved cards? I have a feeling the weight of the cards would knock it over.
