I had a great time @essen spiel this year, especially teaching my The Plank game to so many new pirates!

Play tested my latest design Soccer yesterday with @eanderssonsunden.bsky.social. It played well, but the question is, is anyone looking for a Soccer game? Sports can be tricky, and Soccer even more so.

Play tested Waves a bit more yesterday, replacing the silvery waterslide with a more modest canal.
With some simple rules changes it gave a lit of agency to the players even if the core randomness of the waves are still there.

Had a great playtest yesterday with My kingdom. The new Chronicle mechanic felt like it fit like a glove! And it is a great way to add some thematic ”glow”

In my current project, My kingdom, I am introducing a chronicle. Each time you score you write a new part of your chronicle. When you ha e 7 parts, it triggers the end of the game.

My latest project is a deck builder civilization game. Yes, there might be a few already... question is if I can make it different and interesting enough?

Tested my latest iteration of "World in Flux" a Civ deckbuilder with some twists. Then we tried Eriks Craters, both games kept its pace, although there are some tweaking to make them shine.

Great audience with a lot of questions and a lot of games played 🕺🏾
