A little under 3 hours until the Midnight Market opens. It's a waning gibbous moon tonight, which means the games offered will be especially spectacular.

It was a slower week round these parts, but hardly a bad one.

Pyrotechnics, designed by Michael Sprague and published by @thinkdeepplaylight.bsky.social, will be available at the Midnight Market! It's a two-player card duel that fits right in your pocket and plays in ten-minute bursts. 🎆🎆🎆

My boardgame heart is filled with joy and gratitude this weekend. My co-design w/ @muse-and-mettle.bsky.social was tabled for the 1st time with the pull print. Production copy of @thinkdeepplaylight.bsky.social's 1st release #pyrotechnics hit the table. And I picked up 4 sweet newish to me games.

Very happy to share, that barring unforeseen circumstances, my card game #pyrotechnics will receive it's full release on 12/31/2025 courtesy of @thinkdeepplaylight.bsky.social

Just got my designer production copies today, and oh boy does it look great! 🎲 ✂️

If you've been curious about Pyrotechnics and you're the print-and-play type, you can have a print-and-play copy of Pyrotechnics for free! These are the finalized files that are headed to the manufacturer, so they're 100% accurate to the game.

Give it a spin, it's fun to play!

🎆 Pyrotechnics is on the water RIGHT MEOW! 🤩

Pyrotechnics is a wee head-to-head card game. Quick and light but with enough strategic depth to stir the neurons. A perfect travel or filler game.

Sign up for updates in the comments or keep your eyes on this feed to buy one when it drops.

I need some print & play testers for a new card game! I can't say too much publicly, but basics:

* 2 players
* 15 min
* Requires printing ~63 cards
* Non-violent theme
* Has drafting
* Has a weird/ambitious hook

Email test@jonperry.com

Thanks!

Today, the first #boardgame by The Seahorse & The Hummingbird is born. No more tweaking. No more editing. No more testing. No more feedback.

Pyrotechnics *is*. 🎆

To celebrate, I'll share the Pyrotechnics design diary by @backwardscapgames.bsky.social. It's a good read. Have a look.
