I played the upcoming space rails game from @tabletapasgames.bsky.social last night and had a blast. Streamlined rules for what is ultimately a mid point between a cube rails and 18xx game. Look for this when it hits crowdfunding!

Reading the latest edition of TraXX on the patio this morning and look what I found! Stellar Ventures will be taking off on Kickstarter soon. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab...

Home brewing a prototype for Ventures Series game 2. Will hopefully have this with me at DOAMConV in a couple of weeks 🤩

My Gen Con haul! Most excited to get to play an early copy of @tabletapasgames.bsky.social upcoming Stellar Ventures!

Stellar Ventures being played at GenCon. Find Justin in the JW Marriott Ballroom if you want to play. This is the final prototype of the game! Crowdfunding soon 🚀

Justin will be at GenCon starting this afternoon. Stop by the open gaming at the JW Marriott to say hi (and check out Stellar Ventures). I sadly had to cancel my trip last minute and will not be there.

Stellar Ventures learn to play by @gettinggames.bsky.social! youtu.be/u8CQgDt312c?...

Had a blast talking about Stellar Ventures on Wheel Tapping. Thanks for having Pontus and me on the show @chriswhitpan.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=anoI...

What a wonderful mail day! All ocean themed too

Clippers! Some interesting graphic design and UI choices here, but I can get past that given how wonderful and cutthroat this game is. Alan Moon does it again #boardgames

5p Rheinlander. What a gem!

It's Tuesday. We're doing a Knizia/Colovini night over here. What games are you looking forward to playing this week?

Justin made a guest appearance on DOAM to talk about Stellar Ventures and F#!*ing up in games! Dads on a Map: #131: F#!*ing Up Episode webpage: dadsonamap.libsyn.com/131-fing-up

Ready for game night. 3 SICS games on the docket. Tower Up first. Hellas and China are set up underneath, one on each half of the table, ready to jump right in

Stellar Ventures is featured in the latest issue of Senet! Grab Issue 19 today. The Senet team is wonderful and creates incredible content celebrating #boardgames

We had a great breakthrough in leveraging components to reinforce some of the trickier rules in Stellar Ventures. Now each corporation starts with a power that allows placing on alien planets and explains the signing process. I love when components teach rules and aid in gameplay

I love Fresh Fish. Expropriation is always one of those things that breaks brains. Just came across this very well done blog post on it: boardgamegeek.com/blog/11772/b...

Had an excellent week of gaming. Of course I didn't get pictures them all: Bauernschlau, Vernissage, Root, China, Switchbacks, Arcs, Gipsy King, Rise&Fall

Stellar Ventures on the most anticipated of 2025 list from @boardgamerev.bsky.social. Thanks for the shout out, can't wait for you to play it! www.facebook.com/groups/board...

Reapers: @dnlnwmn.bsky.social just doesn't miss. New Mill has been on a tear. I helped playtest this, and I'm so glad to see it come out so well.

I love this cover art. Can't wait for the game!

There is one problem with Bauernschlau ... people loved it so much that we never got to Shark.

Cutting stickers for Stellar Ventures prototypes. This is meditative work.

So glad you liked it! We also can't wait to share it with everyone. Kickstarter is hopefully coming end of Q1 2025!

I was fortunate to pick this up at the Indie Games Night Market at #PAXUnplugged. Played it the same night and we all had such a fun time narrowing in on our bids and trying to stick others. Lovely design @vawcer.bsky.social

Finally back home after a very incredible and successful #PAXUnplugged. It was great to see old friends and make new connections. Didn't have time for many games, but Organism was amazing! @prismofeverything.bsky.social @colewehrle.bsky.social

Check out Booth #3309 to learn about Stellar Ventures! We've got pitches, demos, and a raffle for a game! #PAXUnplugged

Justin put together a nice overview video of Stellar Ventures. Check it out and subscribe! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJe3...

An Infamous Traffic is one of my favorite games of @colewehrle.bsky.social. I really need to get it to the table again soon, it's been too long!

I got the contract signed so now I can reveal my exciting news: New Mill Industries is going to be publishing a new edition of Man-Eating House by Kunihiko Tsuchiya in October, along with Somnia and Idle Hands. A spooky trifecta!

TableTapas Games and Stellar Ventures gets a big shout-out in the latest Trick Talkers episode! 🚀 Check it out!

Today I learned that the writer and director of The Red Balloon, one of my all-time favorite childhood films, also invented the game Risk. Mind blown. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red...
