There's no massive marketing campaign behind this. It's pure indie creation. Your support helps bring cool games like this into the world. Let's get this over the finish line!

Today, the first #boardgame by The Seahorse & The Hummingbird is born. No more tweaking. No more editing. No more testing. No more feedback.

Pyrotechnics *is*. 🎆

To celebrate, I'll share the Pyrotechnics design diary by @backwardscapgames.bsky.social. It's a good read. Have a look.

‼️ Pyrotechnics needs your help!

I'm looking for unguided playtesters to take Pyrotechnics for a spin and point out any areas of confusion or friction. Two people, ten minutes of play... probably ten minutes to synthesize the rules, but your results may vary.

protospiel.online - The coolest and, frankly, only online playtesting convention out there is this weekend. I can't recommend it enough if you're looking to meet designers, playtest games, and participate in the design community in a way that feels like an actual convention from the comfort of home.
