Extra comic, thanks to Deep Print Games! Important question for our friends at Deep Print: Did you test this game with people who have cats... or is this a feature? 😹 📜 You can learn more about Bounce It! at: semicoop.com/comic/bounce-it/ #boardgames

Friends taught me Origin Story. Superhero themed trick-taking with player abilities. Most importantly - you choose to play as a hero or villain each round. You're a VILLAIN if you go nil. Muhahahaa!!! My nil-loving heart sings with eeeeeeeevil. #BoardGames are weird. I love them.

It was crafted in Texas, sent to our Lead Designer in Seattle, and made it all the way to hanging at our booth at Origins. This quilt was made by one of our most ardent supporters. The number of people who stopped to admire this handmade piece at the booth was astounding. We can't thank you enough.

On behalf of all people who run crowdfund campaigns and artist stores, let me be the one to say it today: International shipping really is that expensive. It really costs that much. I know it's expensive. That's really what it costs. I'm sorry. I don't set the prices. But it really does cost that m

Pretty awesome start to the week as my next project lands on the front cover of Tabletop Gaming Magazine. Big thanks to @giantbrain.co.uk for putting together the article!

🚨 Episode 4 is aLIVE 🚨 - @bananachangames.bsky.social and @br00taldan.bsky.social + special guest @thekappachris.bsky.social as they watch Train to Busan (2016)! 🎙️ Listen + Download here: www.spookyasianclub.com 🍎 Apple Podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... 📻 open.spotify.com/episode/7JOg...

Dr Knizia's #WildMagic from @gameheadgames.bsky.social is a straightforward rummy-like set collection game. The base game is a simple entry-level game. Adding the ability token levels it up. Wide player count, nothing "never seen before" but perfectly pleasant. (I also lost this one 😅) #BoardGames

To be clear, I will never knowingly play, promote nor share any game that has had AI used in its creation, at least not until I have been given a damn good excuse as to why this is actually a positive thing (but I won't hold my breath on that). Human made art is just better.

In today’s podcast we talk about deduction vs. social deduction vs. bluffing in board games! Which do you like best? We also talk about The Case of the Curiously Quiet Theater, Alibi: 3 Intricate Mysteries, and Flip 7: With a Vengeance. youtu.be/2p1jaQaaazo?...

Dino Racer is officially open for preorder! 🏁 GO! GO! GO! 🦖 🦕 🍌 Dino Racer will be available at Gen Con this year, followed shortly by a retail release (go poke your FLGS about it!)!! Please share with others if you’re so willing!! 🎲✂️

I love the concept of this game, and the designer is a rock star. Give it a look!

Shapely is a quick build‑and‑guess party game. Draw a Shape Card, build it in secret, then everyone uses Guessing Cards to match each creation to the prompt. Score points when: ☆ someone guesses your shape ☆ you guess theirs Party games aren’t usually my thing but this one was fun! 😊

Apparently Netflix has daily puzzles? And today's has a Wingspan clue!

Sometimes a game can be an iteration on something I've seen before, but it's just fun and I keep thinking about it. Blorp! by @smirkanddagger.bsky.social fits this category. A week out from our play & we're still making Blorp jokes and talking about bringing it back out for others to experience it.

Tonight on GameNight! Nikki, Jennifer, Christoph, Mike, Dave & Lincoln teach & play "JinxO" designed by Martin Ang and published by @tabletoys.bsky.social & Game Factory. Thanks so much to @gamegenic.com for the accessories and sponsoring this episode! —Lincoln www.youtube.com/watch?v=At8Q...

Teapot and teacup made of upcycled old books. Aren’t they so fun?

#TrinketTrove from @gameheadgames.bsky.social is a wee delight. The bid system is light and smooth. The set collection has some interesting variability to values that make for compelling decision moments. 2-6p for $20? No brainer. Plus the modern Beatrix Potter style art is charming. #BoardGames

SOMEONE’S VERY COZY

I am excited to demo all of these games!!!

Officially launched our first game, Pongo, on Kickstarter today! It’s been the most grueling and satisfying work that I’ve ever done. I’m so proud of myself. Now, how do I turn off my brain post launch?!😅

@tricktaking.bsky.social did an awesome job with this game!

Set sail with Seven Islands on June 30th! Our newest release is already making a splash as we demo it & hear: "This does feel a lot like Fluxx, even though it’s nothing like Fluxx!" "I love the cascading actions!" "Let's play again!" Puzzle-solving solo mode included!

Hey #GameDevs! GeekGirlCon is still accepting applications for the games floor, so if you've created an awesome game you want to share & playtest, we'd love to play your games at GGC! geekgirlcon.com/programming-submissions/tabletop-game-host-application/ #IndieGameDevs #IndieGames #Gamesky
