Military games aren’t usually my thing, but That’s An Order! from @galens-games.bsky.social is different. The game blends programming mechanics, modular maps, and high-stakes decision-making into a compact, tense package. Full overview & thoughts: bit.ly/48jyTZB

🎲✂️ Tonight at 9PM EST (UTC-5), @senfoonglim.bsky.social and Hafiz speak with @galens-games.bsky.social about designing games with specific constraints in mind. Come join in the chat youtube.com/MeepleSyrup or facebook.com/MeepleSyrup!

A full soccer match — in a mint tin ⚽ Quick, tactical, and built around outplaying your opponent one card at a time. Really impressed with how much game this packs in. Full overview and thoughts: bit.ly/4bvm3d0 Published by @galens-games.bsky.social

Some of the card art I did for Kickabout, a new football/soccer themed game by Evan Wilcock and @galens-games.bsky.social that is now live on Kickstarter as part of Galen's Games Mint Tin Series 2. Check it out and leave a pledge if it looks like it's for you. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

It's always stressful to hit that launch button, but my backers did not keep me in suspense long! So happy this project is getting made. Come join the party! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

This will be my 3rd KS and I finally got the #ProjectsWeLove designation from Kickstarter! Woot! Hope you'll check it out on 3/24/2026!

A fantastic overview and review of @robindavid.bsky.social 's Verdant Arizona by The Family Gamers. They gave it an 8/10. Have you played it yet? www.thefamilygamers.com/verdant-ariz...

Mint-Tin Monster Mash-Up is small, silly, and surprisingly engaging. It’s not trying to be a deep tactical experience, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s quick monster-bashing fun in a package that fits in your pocket. Check out an overview & my thoughts: bit.ly/40DN87w @galens-games.bsky.social

With the addition of Verdant Arizona, the entire Mint Tin Series 1 is now playable on Tabletopia! tabletopia.com/games/verdan...

I've been working on my KS page since 7 this morning. A whole lot of work and love has been poured into this project over the last couple of years. Please help me out by following along! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

I’ve played games that come in wallets, but this is my first venture into the mint tin space with Verdant Arizona from @galens-games.bsky.social, and what a fun experience it was collecting and strategically organizing cacti! 🔗 bit.ly/4umhg4O #boardgames #tabletop #gaminglife

Snow day means a change of plans. Luckily the kiddo was excited about helping me assemble my prototypes and good progress was made! Also snapped some good pics of Mint Mechs!

This was the most abitious project I've ever worked on. From a random email with a concept in mind to giving away $20,000 of board games. Thanks to @moonsagaws.bsky.social , @mystictigergames.bsky.social , @galens-games.bsky.social & more for the games! youtu.be/wAQb87YEgdo #boardgames #tabletop

I’m over the moon with the updated cover art for Mint Mechs! I know I’m biased, but if I saw this on a shelf, I’m picking it up every time.

Coming back to Kickstarter with more Mint Tin Games in February! Please click “Notify me on Launch” www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

Our latest Side Table is OUT! @batchild.bsky.social sat with @galens-games.bsky.social to chat about the awesome Mini Game Tins and so much more! youtu.be/kPsyuTvNHEI #indiegames #indieboardgames #boardgames #gametins #indietabletopgames #devinterview

Great times at GAMA so far! If you're around, I'll be at booth 1468 when the Exhibitor Hall opens.

Do you ever design a way for your kids to play your games that aren't designed for kids? Greya was interested in my Mint Mechs game and I helped her design her own - super OP -characters and weapons. She played 6 games in a row and won consistently and "fairly" on the 3rd or 4th turn each game!

Super Snipers makes a 2nd Dice Tower Top-10 List! This time as Tom's #7 game that "did something different" in 2024. I'm thrilled with the recognition! youtu.be/vknz1GTaMt0?...

It's time to get Snipery! Super Snipers from Galen's Games is such a great two player experience, and in this video I show you how best to get it locked and loaded! 🔫 Link in the replies! #Boardgames Thank you to @galens-games.bsky.social for sponsoring this one! Couldn't have done it without ya 💙

As a game designer and self-publisher, all the “firsts” are really special. Today I celebrate making my first top 10 of a year list, as Super Snipers was Ruby’s #6 and Violet’s #1! youtu.be/uOLxjfzSwE8?...

Mint Mechs playtest last night. I killed A LOT of darlings to get here, but it only sweetened the magic of the game- which revolves around drafting dice to set up big damage combos. Super happy with where this is at and where it’s headed! #mintmechs #minttingames #boardgamedesigner

Just wanted to say that I had an amazing time at Pax Unplugged! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth! Always gratifying to meet the people playing my game(s) and get more out there!

Heading to PAX Unplugged? Come see me at Booth 3909! #paxunplugged2024

In case you missed the campaign, Late Pledges are now open for the Galen's Games Mint Tin Series: galens-games-mint-tin-series.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

Instagram is probably tired of me posting essentially the same gameplay pic and raving about this game every few days. So: Bluesky, this is Helionox: Chronicles, and it is absolutely incredible.

This morning I've been updating my website and putting together some pitches. Like this one for Profiteer Rails. It needs a publisher - do you know anyone looking for a unique spin on cube-rail games?! 🎲✂️

Solid playtest of Mint Mechs today. Was looking to get the action going more quickly and added a triggered action to placing a drafted die in addition to the bigger action (and the ability to chain multiple sequentially) when pulling them off. Excited for this one!

A great review from @familygamersaa.bsky.social just dropped for Super Snipers. Their son was the first super fan of the game. m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ttq...

And it’s over! Could not be happier with how it turned out! Thanks to everyone who helped make this such a success!!

Galen's Games mint tin KS is entering it's final day! I designed Verdant Arizona - @galens-games.bsky.social has done a fantastic job with its production and this campaign. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

Crazy fun day at Millennium Games today! Got to be a “special guest” and show off Super Snipers and the Mint Tin Series. And got to meet @senfoonglim.bsky.social !

I’ve got a Kickstarter going for 5 more days. If you’re into mint tin games, 2 player games, or solo games, take a look! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

How’s everyone doing the “arrow to Pax U soon” thing?

Hey! Not sure I’ll be anymore active here than I was at the “other place”, but I’m here!
