My Saturday at #UKGE has been epic! It's really a great convention for meeting the community. I got to know sooo many designers, content creators and other folks from the industry – and even played two games of NEON HOPE. 🔥🔥🔥

I had a really great time at the #kickstarter party at #UKGE yesterday. It was really inspirational to meet all the other creators – and even Kickstarter CEO Everette Taylor was there.

The Grid is a unique randomness mechanic in NEON HOPE that we use instead of dice. It is a die with memory! 🎲 As it is so central to the game, we have made a deluxe poker chip version that is available as part of the campaign. And I love how they look! 😍 #gamedesign #boardgamedesign #boardgames
