Building UI is weirdly difficult. This looks great! Nice work!

This looks awesome! I have a soft spot for Gameboy RPGs. So many memories of hour long trips in the back of my parents car as a kid playing them with a terrible worm light. 😅

Cool! How'd you do that? I just turned on social for my ghost site but don't understand how to get it visible in bluesky

Meeting you (and others) at BostonFig, inspired me to actually sit down and try my hand at designing games. You do awesome work! Was fun to try out your new game design this week!

This game is at the top of my cozy list. But it's also hard! I have never completed all 8 lilys.

I'm on the lookout for games that are very easy and quick to teach even to non-gamers. Would this one fit that description.

Really like what you are doing with your patron. I'm impressed if you can keep up with monthly releases!

While I love bigger complex games, I've recently been teaching less experienced players a lot of easier to teach games, and I have a new appreciation for games that can be taught in 5 minutes or less. Unsurprisingly, I have found this an easier space to practice designing in.

I read the rules wrong the first time and thought you couldn't beat a missions without first defeating all enemies. I was convinced the game was impossible! A very cool game.

Bars/restaurants shouldn't need payment. Just ask them if it's okay to host there. If it's a slow night for them anyway, they may welcome the traffic. You can encourage attendees to patronize the business.

Locally near me hosts organize free weekend monthly meetups at the public libraries.

Yeah, it plays up to 4 players. The only downside to more players is waiting longer for your turn.
