Board game designers, is it OK to copy and use another board game’s mechanism in your own design, as long as you change the theme/rules?
Where’s the line between inspiration and imitation?

“Find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.”
But no one warns you about the mental and financial risk of turning your passion into a job.
Board game designers, how do you handle the burnout of your passion while making a living?

Some people dislike the art style of this deck-building zombie board game, but I find it weirdly beautiful and very fitting for the theme.

Do you remember these classic dungeon crawler games like Dungeon Hack, Ultima Underworld and Legend of Grimrock?
If they had a board game version, would you play it?

Finally played Tiny Epic Game of Thrones today. I really like the core area control mechanic where you try to form alliances with others, it matches the theme perfectly!

Crowdfunding vs Pre-ordering
With growing skepticism around crowdfunding, I saw more publishers now prefer doing preorders on their own website for new releases and leaving crowdfunding platforms.
What’s your take on this trend? 🤔

I think luck in board games is like sugar in coffee ☕, some prefer black without any, some may need 1 or 2 spoons. It’s all about personal taste.
As board game designers, what do you think about the role of luck in board game design?

🖼️ Theme VS 🎯 Mechanics
When designing a board game, do you start with the theme or story first and develop mechanics to match it, or pick the mechanics you want to use and fit the theme later?
Which one are you?

Finally played 52 Realms:Adventures designed by @matthewdunstan.bsky.social @rorymuldoon.bsky.social from @postmarkgames.bsky.social
Got beaten by the Catwoman in the first run. The gameplay is smooth with simple rules, really liked the compact design and graphics 👍

Have fun playing this TE Viking board game last night, well designed by @scottalmes.bsky.social.
I like the multi-use card design and the quality of the components, as always. The artist also did a great job with the artwork.
