Some coworkers and I played my #boardgame after work today and had a great time! They picked up the rules by their 3rd turn and started to see the decision space.
The best thing I heard from them; "can we play again?" 🥲. We had to cut the game short, but I am so pleased!

🎲✂️Finally have my board game prototype in a digital format. I have a much better appreciation for all the work that goes into making a game on Screen Top.
One step closer to submitting my co-op #boardgame to @cardboardedison.com . I want to make sure my rule book has visual examples first!

New Year Eve's eve beach walk.
🎲✂️ Playtest ~13 (losing count lol). Feeling pretty good about my #boardgame prototype. So thankful for my family's feedback over the holiday.
Stress testing it at 2/3/4 player counts and refining the rulebook are my next steps. My goal is to submit this to Cardboard Edison in January 2025. 🙂↕️

Digital mock up of a #boardgame I am designing. Players collaborate to capture space debris around Earth, recycle it, & repair defunct satellites. Fully repairing a satellite grants a team wide bonus. The challenge is to repair all satellites before Earth is surrounded by space junk!

🎲✂️ Space Debris Cleanup Crew Playtest 5 - end game is not balanced, total explosion of debris cubes. I think the solution is to prolong the mid game to give players more time before the #boardgame climaxes.
On the plus side, this iteration is leaps and bounds more fun than iteration 1.

🎲✂️ Working on a co-op #boardgame using what I've learned so far. Players work together to capture space debris around Earth, recycle it, then use it to repair broken space stations.
This iteration uses a bunch of components from other games. I've identifying what was fun and what wasn't 🧵

Oooh, that's nice. It appears minimal at first glance, but I see it controls part of the larger game board. Thank you!! 🙇 🕵️♂️

Thank you for the suggestion! That thing looks neat. Going to look up a review to see how integral it is to gameplay. 🕵️♂️

🎲✂️ Hey #boardgames, I am doing some research. What are some games that include rotating game boards? I know that #Seti has planets orbiting the Sun. Are there any others that come to mind?

My 3 year old niece is visiting. We went through #UnstableUnicorns and chose our favorite unicorn cards. She loves the rainbow unicorn and we're letting her bring it home with her ☺️ 🌈🦄

🎲✂️ #boargame #gamedesign analysis: Honey Buzz by @paulsalomon27.bsky.social . This game has gotten to my table more frequently than others recently. We're really enjoying the action cascade after completing 1 (or more) empty cells in our hive. Players can have explosive turns with proper planning! 🧵

🎲✂️ I've made #boardgame #gamedesign diagrams, but never explicitly shared the components. Here is a brief rundown:
Square: Rule / procedure. ie, draw a card
Circle: End state. ie, victory, defeat, end turn
Diamond: Conditional, typically phrased as a question. ie, does the player have X points? 1/2

1. Catan. Fine game, there are other games I just enjoy more.
2. Bang! Fun, but I don't enjoy games where players can be eliminated for longer than 10+ minutes.
3. Root. Great complexity and asymmetry
4. Scout. There is so much to love about this tiny box!!!

🎲✂️ #boardgame design analysis: TRIO. A simple to teach, easy to learn, card game about collecting sets of cards. There is more depth to this game than meets the eye, as you can request the highest/lowest card from a player (or yourself) multiple times in a row. Beautiful art as well!

🎲✂️Boardgame design analysis: MANTIS. This is a small, simple, and engaging guessing game. A great choice for young kids and/or short games with non-board gamers over the holidays. Simple rules, and small decision space makes this game easy to teach.

I had plans to diagram out a player's turn in the board game Spirit Island. I think this one deserves to be played first hand, that rule book is a beast!
This video was helpful, but I have a feeling I wouldn't do it justice without a game or two under my belt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nsk...
