Played another round of Iliad over drinks. Hit the sweet spot this time. Perfect way to wile away half an hour an excellent conversation. 10/10 perfect summer evening #boardgame

Trying to highlight my own #gamedesign more but talking about myself is tough, to be honest. I made a #minesweeper style game and I’m pretty proud of it! You can play it here on Pico-8

Ok so there are real flashes of brilliance to #Wildfrost. But boy does this game have sharp edges. The number of times I’ve died without expecting to because I mathed sequences wrong is… rough…

I know everyone is posting about Blue Prince but don’t worry I’ll get there in two years.

I take back anything bad I ever said about #Wildfrost. This game is incredible.

I think @stephentotilo.bsky.social made this point in a post a few weeks ago (eek it’s months now, it was September), that it’s the perfect game for 2024 because it’s stuffed to the gills with so many games.

5/x

There are a full 25 micro games available across some of the biggest newsy platforms (Apple News, LinkedIn, NYT Games, Puzzmo).

I’ve taken it on myself to rank them for your reading pleasure.

Daniel Benmergui’s Storyteller game is so good. I loved Fidel Dungeon Rescue and this is such a different game but with no less heart, wit, and cleverness. Recommend so highly

I’ve been playing it on iOS with a Netflix subscription. store.steampowered.com/app/1624540/...
