Updated my geeklist of favorite trick-taking/climbing games to include 50 titles instead of 25. I haven't written my mini reviews of the new additions yet but I heartily recommend all of these card games! boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/318...

Happy Thanksgiving! We are so thankful for everyone who has supported us and made Stellar Ventures possible. We are so excited to be launching it in January, as well as the upcoming lineup of games from TableTapas! Wishing everyone a day filled with joy, wonderful good, and (hopefully) gaming!

The latest version of 매미들 (Memideul, Korean for Cicadas) is up and finalized. I have done my best to streamline the game, while still keeping the hooks. I am satisfied with where it is at the moment until I get more feedback. So if you wanna try a weird unorthodox trick taker, check out CICADAS!

WIP box cover art for "Trifle", for a TGM Spring 2026 release. Designed by me. Art by @saibep.bsky.social. This will be a limited release, available in Japan via BOOTH (more details when they become available).

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

HUGE news update for me!!!!!! High Tide, the game I handmade for Indie Games Night Market 2024 and licensed to Underdog Games in 2025… ✨ Will be releasing at BARNES & NOBLE around March 2026!!! ✨ This marks my first design to reach big box retail stores!!!!! More details as they become available!

I don't know how to introduce this one. After three titles about opium peddling, I figured the rest of SDHistCon would be breezy by comparison. I was wrong. The next day, I experienced one of the toughest board games I've ever played. Perhaps *the* toughest. spacebiff.com/2025/11/24/u...

boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/367... It’s wild to me that some with such a respectable taste for good games would see mine fit to be their #4 of the year. I’m honored and dumbstruck.

I've added the "Doppelkopf deck" to my BOOTH page! Order by November and receive a dealer marker (worth 500 yen). You can purchase it for the same price as the Game Market retail price. #GameMarket2025Autumn allotment.booth.pm/items/7676341

PAX Unplugged Day 1! Come check out Stellar Ventures at booth 4328! Win a free game! Or just come say hi - we are excited to see you!

Absolutely killer night of trains and tricks. All new to me, all great: Iberian Gauge, Numberwang, Chai Tea Jazz (don’t mind how horribly we performed in our first game of CTJ). Excellent designs @amabel.bsky.social @tricktaking.bsky.social @seandavidross.bsky.social

The Two Towers: Trick-Taking Game follows up on last year's Fellowship trick-taker, and like that inaugural release it's an innovative and excellent adaptation of Tolkien's fantasy novel. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/11/20/t...

Wani-Wani Gang, the newest game from Fukuroudou will be playable at PAX Unplugged play area! And available to get at Ninja Star Games booth GH-63B. It's very simple and fun dice game for both of casual and veteran players. 🦉

I made a how to play video for Even At Odds! youtu.be/8wIrXa-fEzs?... I hate hearing my own voice and this was recorded as fast as possible so I would just get it done, but it’s the full teach!

I'm responsible for the artwork of many of the new games being sold at Tokyo Game Market this weekend.

Today I investigate three more indie games, all of which are ambitious and explorative of what games can accomplish. These are good'uns. spacebiff.com/2025/11/18/h...

Part 2 of Two Towers, WAHOOO!! ✌️🙌😍💕💞 youtu.be/fbnnh9nN-pk

Played Big Apple by @dx.social.ridetrans.it.ap.brid.gy yesterday. Highly recommended if you are looking to play a PnP game with preschoolers. Rules & PnP files can be found here : boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/45...

lovely review of Folia Folio! Thanks Wade!

Today I'm covering three more upcoming Indie Games Night Market titles! Fold & Fly!, Coupon Clipper, and Paper Pencil Stencil are all tactile treats. My reviews: spacebiff.com/2025/11/17/t...

I have often bemoaned the dryness of many modern games. Somebody on the web wrote "boardgames are just math made fun", and I answered that many boardgames are math made not fun. In such games, scores are no longer a reward for good play, but the entire games just consist of calculations. (1/X)

I really enjoyed making and refining Even At Odds, and I want to talk about the process I went through because it is very full of reminiscing on my friends.

We’re thrilled to share our Special Presentation; Indie Games Night Market Preview! It was a privilege to be part of this & share these games with you all~ youtu.be/HA_u8oxU0kc?... See the games that will be at the IGNM in exactly 1 week at #PAXunplugged! #boardgames #ignm #cardgames #indiegames

“It’s like Ameritrash trick-taking” This is surreal because I’ve loved Joel’s videos ever since I first got into the hobby. Seeing that he really understood what the game was going for and had fun with it is just so cool.

“Under that minimalist surface is something almost meditative.” “The pieces clack like seashells, the board (or lack thereof) feels alive—with every move reshaping the tide pool.” “It’s elegant, portable, and weirdly emotional.” youtu.be/60D6-mm9s3A

1/3 Done! I submitted it to BGG a few minutes ago, but you can try Microfishing right now if you want with the rules and cards linked below. I have each card as a separate image if you want that, or I made a 6-up PNP file if that's your thing. Whichever! bsky.app/profile/byss...

2/3 Done! Yap is a 2-4 player discard and draw game with climbing/shedding elements thrown in. My daughter and I worked on it pretty intensely in July. It’s up on BGG now if you want to try it! boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/45...

I thought today I can share some of my progress going from prototype to prototype—hopefully sharing a bit about my process, and how I approach graphic design! 🎲 ✂️

This past weekend, I was delighted to attend @sdhistcon.bsky.social, where on Saturday I played not one, not two, but three games about selling opium. It was quite the day. Read about it here: spacebiff.com/2025/11/13/s...

Here’s my Bretwalda Quick Play, so you can see what this game feels like to play :) Check it out here -> youtu.be/fYuvURtqgtw

Components of "Gather Up! Wani-Wani Gang" is here! 32 cards with adorable illustration by Sayaka Kusada creates a special game experiences. The EN rule is available on website. 🦉 fukuroudou.info/file/Wani_Ma... It'll be playable on PAX unplugged at end of this month! (21~23 Nov.2025)

New episode of @decisionspace.bsky.social is all about hybrid deckbuilders! We examine why these totally dominate the BGG top 100 and what makes it such an adaptable hook for games. Also Jake posits a theory that we should call these deck shuffling games instead. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

This week, we are joined by @dnlnwmn.bsky.social who skyrizzies it up on Ep66! shelfstablecast.com/66-ft-daniel...

Friday 11/14 6PM ESTour Indie Games Night Market Special Preview goes up~ I’ll be active on here & on YouTube so feel free to ask any questions; I’d love to engage & chat about it~ Huge thanks to all of the lovely folks who contributed to make this happen~ (tagged below) @officialpax.bsky.social

HUGE Announcement!! I’m thrilled to reveal we’re starting a podcast: BATS! The “BoardGame-Animal-Talk-Show” With special guests: Reiner Knizia @dnlnwmn.bsky.social Ammon Anderson @asmeesh.bsky.social @ithayla.bsky.social & MORE to reveal!!~ Coming late December, stay tuned!! #boardgames

Microfishing is a 2-player fishing game based on Escoba where you'll play cards from hand to capture fish from the Lake (the table). As long as the played card and the Lake card(s) add to 18, you'll capture them! Rules and a print-ready PDF are linked below. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Wow I can’t believe I haven’t worked on this game in like half a year! It’s been a busyyyy year for me in the best of ways. This weekend I spend some time on it, and I think I’m starting to hone in on the artstyle for Shortstack! I'm much happier with the clean vectors over the "realism" effect.

I've made some changes, and you can learn about them in today's Updates Vlog. Specifically, tutorials are going away, quick plays are here, and reviews are coming back! (sort of) youtu.be/JvGDdwImR7I

Lord of the Rings Two Towers by @bbornmueller.bsky.social is Here!!! ✌️🙌💍🗼💫 youtu.be/0lOmIVZLdJE

I’m so so excited for Indie Games Night Market and to share my new card game Heavenly Bodies with the world!! 🪐✨ Here’s a preview of my pricing board!!

In the Shadow of Atlas is another single-deck game by John Clowdus, and it finds him in familiar territory: the lane-battler. This is a smart and self-contained game that recalls some of Clowdus's earliest experiments. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/11/05/i...
