Yes, it was an incredible honor to be featured on the @boardgamegeek.com Podcast, but it was even more fun just to chat with my friend @panda8ngel.bsky.social about some of my favorite food-themed games and color vision accessibility! Check it out here: boardgamegeek.com/blog/12153/b...

Big thanks to Jason and @emilykeepskitties.bsky.social for having me on Building the Game Podcast this week to talk about Art as theme in tabletop games. I'm super passionate about this topic, and excited for folks to check it out: www.buildingthegamepodcast.com/episode-731-...

The application to be a vendor at the Indie Games Night Market at PAX Unplugged in December is now live! www.newmillindustries.com/ignm-app

In my humble opinion, the indie market scene is the most exciting thing happening in the board game space right now. Come join the movement to make small batch games that can be as weird and special as you can imagine!

So close to same day funding! Check out Counterpoint on Kickstarter and back, back, back! (Sorry, I’ve been reading a bunch of #DCC recently!) www.kickstarter.com/projects/squ...

Thanks for your support both in playtesting AND in backing!! 💛🎻🎶

See this lil beauty? They need a name! And I want you to help me come up with the perfect name. 😍 Back Counterpoint on Kickstarter today to help me come up with the perfect name for this perfect lil pianist! 🎹 www.kickstarter.com/projects/squ...

Counterpoint is a cooperative trick-taking game from @tedmannschaller.bsky.social about playing chamber music—clever and challenging! geekdad.com/2026/05/kick...

A musical trick taker? Yes please!

This looks really neat, super easy back for me!

Shoutout and thanks to @jonathanhliu.bsky.social for the awesome write up on GeekDad. I really love how you were able to relate back to your childhood playing music. This is exactly the type of feeling I wanted to bring to folks! 💛🎻🎶 geekdad.com/2026/05/kick...

We had a chance to check this out at TCTC (though sadly not enough time to play it) and it's clear so much love has gone into the details and clever touches of thematic implementation

This has literally (Go ask @peppermintfox.bsky.social if you don't believe me) been in my go bag for game nights ever since I got it. I like cooperative trick taking, and I absolutely love this.

AHHH, Phil! I'm totally blushing! 🙈 I'm definitely looking forward to LOTRTROTKTTTG cause @bbornmueller.bsky.social always brings it! In this world we deserve BOTH adorable classical music animals and adventuring little hobbits in our trick-taking! 💛

Lovely words from the wonderful Kovray! youtu.be/9AsHoBGmVWg?...

Ted's KS is live now! This is a wonderful cooperative trick taker. I've played a couple times, and it's very well executed and the thematic ties are very apt.

The kickstarter is now live! Go back it!

Counterpoint is live on Kickstarter! 2 years ago I had a silly idea to mix two of my favorite things (classical music and games) and here we are after countless hours of prototyping, testing, simplifying, and reworking. Excited to hear your music! 💛🎻🎶 www.kickstarter.com/projects/squ...

Check out our review of @tedmannschaller.bsky.social’s Counterpoint! #cardgames #tricktaking #counterpoint youtu.be/KPYIZg6QlOQ?...

Big thanks to @tricktaking.bsky.social for his kind words about Counterpoint today. Check it out: youtu.be/e7Jb2yC-bqk?... Launching on kickstarter this coming Tuesday! www.kickstarter.com/projects/squ...

My friend Ace made this Instagram video and offered lovely sentiment: "What I love about the game is not just the amazing illustrations and artwork, but the clever integration of classical aspects in a way that has you communicating with your fellow players."

I've got two Kickstarter game reviews for you today!

Crazy to see my first game Diplomacy: The Golden Blade Card Game now available in store at Barnes & Noble. :)

Introducing more people to Counterpoint tonight! Still consistently impressed with how clever this cooperative trick taker makes me feel as I negotiate making music with my fellow bandmates. www.kickstarter.com/projects/squ...

The campaign is live! I will be on in about 30 minutes (1:30pm eastern) to talk about the game with @ruelgaviola.com www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

I've been lucky enough to playtest earlier versions of this and the gameplay is solid, lots of replayability and a great trick taking experience. I will absolutely be notified when this kickstarter goes live. Yes I will. Back this game, y'all! #boardgames

Robin! I remember that playtest well! It has had lasting impact on how the game is presented to this day! Appreciate you and your kind words!

Thanks, Randy! Appreciate your support and your playtesting on this one! Very excited to see this come alive! 💛🎻🎶

Thanks for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the game! 💛🎻🎶

What an absolute cutie! 😍🎹 Those stickers ran out fast—Glad you got your hands on one!

I've enjoyed seeing and playing your game at Sakura-Con and TCTC, and I can't wait for it to be released to the world! I've got your little Piarmadillo on my laptop!

Oh man, I’m excited to see this realized! I’ve just set a reminder on my calendar!

It's finally happening! This is a delightful cooperative trick taker. The theme is spot on and the "rest" mechanic is very cool.

Counterpoint - a trick taking game about performing musical compositions - has all the elements I like from the Crew combined with bidding, a fun theme, and playlist you can listen to as you're performing. Coming soon to Kickstarter by Square Cactus Games. @tedmannschaller.bsky.social

You’re telling me a CHICKEN fried these dice?! 🐓🎲 Just a few more hours to get in on the CFD Kickstarter. This game is amazing and made by some lovely people here in Seattle. Highly recommended: www.kickstarter.com/projects/urb... #boardgames
