Also this game (Super Meow) came from the publishing studio that brought you Yum Yum Island and I'm so stoked for all the wrong reasons .

If you're looking for something different when it comes to games, @lunarpunk.games is coming out with some wildly different concepts in victorless and multivictor games.
Color Jam sees players coloring in a board using crayons in the matching slot, with the rest sliding down after one is used.

We played a couple of games of All In: Predictions at the Asmodee media event at #paxunplugged2025 . Interesting blend of poker and Fantasy Realms, where players are trying to construct the best poker hand at the end of the round that they can by giving up cards for the actions on them.

Today I hold the needless deaths of my trans siblings close to my heart as I observe Transgender Day of Remembrance. Today I also take up my space in the world, proud and unapologetic about who I am because they're no longer able to.

If you're not at PAX or BGG and wish you were, get a game or 2 out that you've been meaning to play from your shelf with some friends this weekend. It helps, trust me.

And that is why I decided on hand-making copies for this year's Indie Games Night Market. I know it's perfect silly fun and a great way to draw a crowd at a convention 😉 - just please be careful with cross traffic!
Please come check my game out & others this Saturday at PAX Unplugged!

BREAKING: I'm starting up a new line of games that I'll be putting out on @thegamecrafter.bsky.social. Some will be reprints of older Formal Ferret Games, some of these will be expansions to existing games, and some are going to be brand new.
Of course, I'm calling it Informal Ferret Games.

Had a day where @peppermintfox.bsky.social and I could just relax before the impending storm of PAX and the holidays...so we sat down to new arrival The Hobbit: There and Back Again @officedoggames.bsky.social. Aly asked for a second game after the first, so that's pretty high praise!
