I can't wait for mine to arrive!

We love what @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social is doing and love supporting other small independent studios making great games! Now the wait begins!

I enjoy helping projects become reality, so I've always written previews. But as prototypes become prettier, it's become harder to discern between finished titles and those still in development. Today I finally decided to just slap a big PREVIEW sticker on the appropriate articles.

Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars tonight with my friend from Chicago. Feels fitting the Knicks are playing Bulls ...

Revisited Battlelore for the first time in a long time tonight. This game is good! I love when setup provides really interesting decisions that are fully a part of the game experience.

Late pledges will be available on Backerkit soon!

What an absolutely amazing first campaign! We could not be more thankful for all of our wonderful backers. You haven't seen the last of us - we are just getting started. Time to get this game into all of your hands and start working on Rocky Ventures! ... more on that soon

Been excited about this one for a while, glad it's finally here! The theme, narrative and artwork look great. Just what I want from a game like this. Backed! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mal...

Had a great time with our preview play of Stellar Ventures, attempting to sell out all of space capitalism to the aliens.

Stellar Ventures always plays out so differently - no game is the same! Thanks @optimalplay.bsky.social, @benmandelker.bsky.social, and Jordan for the awesome playthrough! youtu.be/EMCmExPFgK8?...

Played Stellar Ventures at a LFGS yesterday (Brooklyn Game Knight) in #IndustryCity! Fun times. Back now on Kickstarter! 9 days to go! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab...

Stellar Ventures was just selected as a #ProjectWeLove by @kickstarter.com! We crossed the 1,000 backer threshold yesterday. To the moon! 12 more days to back the campaign: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab...

A group of my friends has just launched Stellar Ventures on Kickstarter, and it's well worth checking out. I don't usually weigh in like this, but it really is great. If you like cube rails, this is definitely worth checking out :) www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab... @tabletapasgames.bsky.social

This was so much fun to watch!

Wow. Incredible day so far. We funded in 14 minutes! I wish we could be celebrating with Pontus in Sweden at his Stellar Ventures launch party! Next up: Live playthrough with @heavycardboard.bsky.social tonight at 7pm EST! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Esv...

Such a fun day on Kickstarter! Vroom Vroom Zoom is so good!

Check out both of these streams today! Gold Country from @bitewinggames.bsky.social is a reimplementation of the wonderful Spectaculum. Stoked. And Stellar Ventures is our first published game! Funding goal hit in 14 minutes today: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab...

if you're into cube rails/18xx, check out this one from my friends at @tabletapasgames.bsky.social! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab...

This was such a fun moment! Thanks Andrew!

1 day! Less than 24 hours! Tomorrow at 10 AM EST, Kickstarter is live! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab... Naturally, the final game in our countdown is Stellar Ventures. We were once told if you don't love your game enough to play it 100x, don't expect anyone to play it once. We love this game.

Over the moon with this review from Dan Thurot! Ready for launch tomorrow: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab...

Stellar Ventures campaign goes live tomorrow at 10am EST!

Justin and I joined @jwgeist00.bsky.social on the DOAM podcast to discuss the birth of TableTapas Games, Stellar Ventures development, and satisfying game arcs in play! Take a listen! Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0LaZ... Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...

2 days until Stellar Ventures is live! Follow the project here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab... We love Arcs from @colewehrle.bsky.social and @buriedgiantstudios.bsky.social. Constant interaction, shifting incentives/alliances, big moments, room for clever play, and beautiful components.

The countdown is at 3 days! Follow the campaign here www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab... Barrage was one game that Justin and I played a ton of together when we first started gaming. Shared infrastructure combined with all the tools players are given are two big reasons why we love it

4 days and officially into the last weekend before launch www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab... Of course we have a space themed game in the top 4! We love the shared infrastructure and variable end game in this one by @prismofeverything.bsky.social. Check out upcoming Organism by the same team!

Very much looking forward to For the Gods! from @djackthompson.bsky.social and @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social! Just the kind of game we love here at TableTapas Games. Be sure to follow this one

5...more...days! Stellar Ventures on Kickstarter so soon. Follow here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab... Haggis! 4p and 2p are our favorite player counts for this one. We love games where you can lead (no pun intended) your opponents right to where you want them @seandavidross.bsky.social

Less than a week? 6 days til launch! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab.. Lords of Vegas has been a top game for so long. I introduced it to Justin when he visited shortly after we started TableTapas Games, so it holds a special place in our hearts. Glad @lonesharkgames.bsky.social reprinted it!

7 days left. Officially within 1 week of launch! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab... Today we celebrate 18xx. Stellar Ventures was surely inspired by this classic game series, particularly RUSTING. What a cool mechanism that provides layers of tension and opportunities for creative play.

8 days until we take off. Get notified when we go live next week: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab... Can't get enough of Age of Steam. The symbiotic/parasitic relationship it creates among players and the re-playability across multiple maps.

9 days until launch! So let's celebrate some cube rails www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab... Barely made the post in time tonight, still raving from the Meeple Mountain review. It was so great to read how well we achieved our goals with the game!

Check out this review of Stellar Ventures from @meeplemountain.com! Kickstarter goes live on Jan 27th! Be sure to follow the campaign here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab...

10 days until launch! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab... We love Root from @leder.games. So much interaction in such a short and sweet play time.

11 days until Stellar Ventures takes off! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab... Today we are highlighting what we love about Wonderland's War from @druidcitygames.bsky.social. So much good tension in this one!

12 days until launch! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab... Highlighting another game we love from @wehrlegig.games

13 days until launch! Follow along for the last leg of this journey with us as we talk about some of the games we love! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab...

14 days until launch! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab...

Fun 3p games last night: Taluva, China, and a new prototype. As we approach Kickstarter launch, Justin and I are still trying to keep that gaming momentum going! Great feedback on the prototype too!

Played Paris Paris last night. Fun, quick, and cutthroat game. 4p was probably a bit too chaotic. Would like to try again with 3p boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5825

Baking today. Trying a classic family recipe from a good friend 😋

Game night: For All Mankind Phantasmic @marcelineleiman.bsky.social Dustbiters @buttonshy.bsky.social General Orders: Sengoku Jidai @ospreygames.bsky.social @djackthompson.bsky.social

This is a phenomenal game

Toy Battle is also 2p gaming perfection. Love the tension of this map too. Pulled off a comeback!
