Ooh! That's the main focus of the game I've entered into BGG's roll & write contest! I'd love your feedback on it if you're interested. Check it out here:

This is very cool to see. I'd love to see a sequel in which you show off the digital illustration part of your process.

I had that reaction to the first episode of House of Guinness

Agreed! I often skip reading rules when trying out a game on BGA, so I like Undo to be able to see what would happen when I click something.

YES! Since I play a lot of async games on BGA, I really want the mobile experience to be great. It's nice to take a quick turn while waiting in line for things.

Have the mindset that your goal of the playtest is to identify the biggest problems with your prototype.

This puts your ego in check and focuses your questions and players' feedback on problems, rather than solutions.

They aren't cancelled. They're still around 50%. What was cancelled was Trump's threat of 100%+.

With 50% tariffs, we'll continue to see increasing prices, layoffs, publishers going out of business, and safer decisions on games to manufacture (reprints, sequels, established designers).

@plurpee.bsky.social 3 Tricky Pigs sighting!

Ooh fun! Thanks for sharing!
You know you've made it to the big time when you're next to Zombie Chickens and an off-brand Rubiks Cube.

My wife just did it. She's happy with the results, and it was far less painful than braces were.

is there another witch game that has those other things?

I find that Google's AI thinks I'm looking up the Outfoxed game, when I'm looking up my Outfox the Fox game, because it has so many more results due to its earlier release year and popularity.

Ananda is such a good designer. I can't wait to see what this is.

You've identified the problem correctly, but I'd vote for a solution of consistent layers, as opposed to the massive glob of guac in one sector of the burrito.

Big year next year for you!

How have you changed your approach to design over the years?

Tremors knows exactly what it wants to be and executes perfectly

Thanks to @1moretimegames.bsky.social for letting me know about this video!

Yes, my wife bailed after the first episode due to it being so stress inducing.
I enjoyed the series overall, even if it wasn't really breaking any new ground.

That game has such a delightful learning curve, and such an unbelievably high skill ceiling. It's SO GOOD!

So, do you then play the PS5 or just count yourself satisfied with the battery swap?
