I've had the best day. Sometimes, people are awesome.

I stalled for a long time in getting Threed prepared for playtesting, but lately I've been banging it out. I'm not sure what clicked. The art still needs some love; the lighting, coloration and density all look off. But now I'm in the flow of it. Continuous, happy progress.

Pyrotechnics was a delightful distraction, but it's time to turn my burning eye back to Threed.

I might up and make a standard deck of playing cards in this style. I'm not entirely sure how I'd do face cards, though.

This quick tutorial is all you need to learn how to play Pyrotechnics on Board Game Arena. And... y'know... it does a fine job of explaining the analog game as well.

A new (and lengthy) journal entry that peeks back on the past and outlines ideas for the future. What will 2026 hold for The Seahorse & The Hummingbird? I dunno. But I have a whole layout of plans ready to fall apart.

They're here! They're here! The bulk order of Pyrotechnics has made it overseas intact. No more pre-sale. Just regular sale.

If you were waiting for Pyrotechnics to be in stock before placing your order, now's the time! I have a big stack right here waiting to be mailed to your door.

The Seahorse & The Hummingbird has committed to donating 2% of every sale to good causes. In 2025 that amounted to $32. That's not a staggering amount, but it is appropriately modest for a fledgling company and I'm proud of every penny.

"Pyrotechnics isolates and embodies the part of euro games where one is carefully eyeing an opponent’s resources to figure out how to outmaneuver them."
