A very late update about Archimede from September: 13th out of 30 finalists and 246 total games. I’m always driven to do better but I’m proud I hung with the group and had a respectable score. It was an amazing experience!

I got the nomination certificate and now I wait until the award ceremony in a little over 2 hours!

It’s oddly comforting to have this taste of Scandinavia again 🙂 on my way to Aalborg to settle in for Fastaval. Hoping Caps can do well but there’s some great competition!

I just found out I’m a semi-finalist for the Ciutat de Granollers International Design Contest with Hectic Harvest, which I co-designed with my sister Amber Kempkes! Our game is one of 20 games picked out of 122 entries. The other four I entered were in Tier A and just missed the cut.

I didn’t ever think I’d be posting that I won an award at BostonFIG. But it happened! I won Best Family Game and was nominated as one of the three nominees in two other categories: Best Game In Progress and Best In Show! Thanks for a welcoming and amazing Fest @bostonfig.bsky.social!
