I don't do that work but I realized it to be true when I first played Outward

Also, this month's newsletter has a sneak peak at board art 👀👀

As always, you can feel free to follow along with the progress dashboard here! It has many things to click on. www.social-intellect.com/pages/cirque...

Will these be available on the SM website?

Maybe it depends on what we mean by ideation. I find that bursts of inspiration are downstream of a more general process of ideation, even if you are outside the realm of method per se. Ideation as active invention.

I respect everyone's method, but a part of me wonders if kitchen-sinking amounts to using serendipity as an excuse to forego ideation

As usual, I like to give a breakdown of completed card art by discipline. Clowns are now halfway, lots more animals, and games of chance are DONE!

Also, as a treat, have a couple new cards 🤡

I have been designing a board game about the circus, and Darth, it has many very good animals

Highlights are new cards + asymmetrical play! The next month of work will be heavy playtesting, art, and fingers crossed some board design.
