Very cool. Something tangible to make not-real-words real. Idio-gram-sens-ical!

What are the chevrons used for?

I’ll mail you the box when I get it back from CE! And then give you a copy whenever it’s published :)

I feel like I’ve already won — and getting feedback from the judges to make a great game even better? Incredible.

Ahh thank you!!

Wild that I’ve been coming to PO for a couple years now. Thank you for being a wonderful event filled with wonderful humans!

Thank you!!

I didn’t realize how much I would feel validated by this process. It’s great, but Chainbreakers wouldn’t be half the game it is without all the people who’ve shared their thoughts over the last 6 months.

Thank you!!

Hopefully it goes to a publisher next haha. I’ve loved working on Chainbreakers, but my part in its journey is rapidly coming to a close.

Thank you!! I’m really happy folks enjoy the theme so much.

A rotating bike wheel to draft cards from!

Last is “Queen Bee” a tile shedding spelling game. Players start with a CVC word then must use their cards (Add, Change, and Remove) to alter the word and be the first to have no tiles remaining.

Worked the best with 5th grade.

“Word Mountain” is a game about phonemes. Players have to match one side of a cube with the onset, median, or rime sounds to collectively build a mountain and be the first player to reach the summit.

Really stretches their brain as all sides are unique words, even with basic CVC

Witch of the Words is a “say-and-move” game in which players, as witches, must move around the forest to collect ingredients, make forest friends, and brew potions.

Players draw a card with 3 words on it and say one of them to move 1-3 spaces and then take the action of the space they land on.

Oh got it! Mine are designed for elementary students.

I’ll go over the 3 games in a few posts!
