Game Market West Fall 2025 Countdown: Z Photo Game™ by Steve Zmak (@zphotogame.bsky.social) It's a card-based board game that engages higher-order thinking and storytelling skills using a deck of 209 beautifully printed color photographs taken by the designer.

The US Patent and Trademark Office has issued our trademark after six months. In that time, we were able to run a successful Kickstarter campaign and create a limited-run edition of our game. Pouring one out for all those 🎲✂️ having to pause or cancel their KS. We would have never survived this.

How do you play Z Photo Game™? Glad you asked! 1. Your portfolio has 9 cards. 2. The Curator announces their theme. 1/2 🧵 #boardgames

Maybe we should partner and come up with a film canister/ P’kup mash-up! #boardgames

We’ve already started to lay out and collect the first of many expansion decks. This one will be all black and whites from Steve Zmak’s portfolio. 🧐 ICYMI folks at our pick-up party got a sneak peek and added one to their limited edition game.

We just wrapped up a fulfillment party for the successful Kickstarter campaign (www.kickstarter.com/projects/ste...) of our first edition of Z Photo Game™, so let's break some news while we're at it? 🚨 We're already thinking about a second edition. 🚨 #boardgames
