#sneakpeak at my current 🎲✂️ project "Level Playingfield". An asymmetric 2-player only game where one player is the hero, using deck building to traverse a level and the other player is the level master, using tile-laying to try and stop them. #boardgames

Today, the first #boardgame by The Seahorse & The Hummingbird is born. No more tweaking. No more editing. No more testing. No more feedback. Pyrotechnics *is*. 🎆 To celebrate, I'll share the Pyrotechnics design diary by @backwardscapgames.bsky.social. It's a good read. Have a look. #gamedesign 🎲✂️

First opportunity to buy a copy of my first game! Come support Indy game design!

My co-design with @muse-and-mettle.bsky.social was one of the two games to hit the virtual table last night at GMG's monthly online testing. Incredibly grateful for the time. I know this one is a beast. Looking forward to where Interstellar Influence goes from here.

🎲✂️ in the Boston area: SAVE THE DATE - 10/18/25. We at GMG are expanding our opportunities for "All Day Playtesting" and bringing our brand of gaming fun to Church on the Hill. Keep an eye on social media and our Meetup page for more details: meetu.ps/e/PtYfQ/ZXbQ...

🎲✂️ Unboxing friend of GMG, @emilykeepskitties.bsky.social 's recent release #KnittingCircle happy to finally see the finished product! @flatoutgames.bsky.social did a great job!

🎲 ✂️ The next iteration of Interstellar Influence ( co-design w/ @muse-and-mettle.bsky.social ) is ready to be broken, accused of not being a game and require too much math. Hoping to capture the imagination of #ancientalien enthusiasts sometime soon. #boardgames #gamedesign

🎲✂️in preparation for tonights meet up at Jetpack in Rochester, NH I am actually hand making a new prototype. Excited for this one.

🎲✂️ what sounds like more fun? 1. A spatial puzzle about placing campers at a seasonal campground based on their desired preferences 2. Engine building game with blind bidding that builds up your campground's reputation and attracts campers boss monster style ???

Makes me feel like a real 🎲 ✂️ to hang a poster in my office with the cover art for my first published game.

Please consider helping my buddy @muse-and-mettle.bsky.social and do the thumbs up thing on BGG! Twisted Trumpets is debuting at Essen! boardgamegeek.com/geekpreview/...

🎲✂️ in the Boston area, the next Church on the Hill is taking place Tuesday the 24th. www.meetup.com/game-makers-... #boardgamedesign

June 4th, 5th and 6th only! Donate to a good cause, celebrate the creativity of six amazing #boardgames designers and run my site through the paces all for a buck! www.seahorseandhummingbird.com All proceeds donated to The Network/La Red (www.tnlr.org). 🧵 1 of 3

Every time I see something about my game coming to life, I get emotional. I'm not crying, you are! Seriously though I couldn't be more excited and I genuinely appreciate anyone who is interested in signing up or purchasing the game. Thank you for the support ❤️. 🎲 ✂️

I am beyond excited for this project to be approaching public enjoyment. Been a long time coming. Thanks @thinkdeepplaylight.bsky.social for believing in it!

Coaching softball this spring will take me away from game design a bit more than I'd prefer over the next couple of weeks. So I need to do better at managing the time I do have and prioritize the projects that feel the most important. Wish me luck. I'm terrible at that. 🎲 ✂️

Calling all Boston area designers (or new game enthusiasts!) 🎲✂️ If anyone is looking to get their game tested in person, next Tuesday April 29th there will be another Church on the Hill event from 6:00pm-9:00ish! www.meetup.com/game-makers-...

Come hang out in Rochester, NH with me!

Going back to an old idea I had, with the knowledge and experience I have from about 3 years of being deep into 🎲 ✂️. It's great to see what you have learned and how old designs can become new again. More to come as I flesh out this lean, mean engine building machine. media.tenor.com/2j3qVa_KuSQA...

It's Tuesday, you know what that means? It's Skeleton Code Machine day! @exeunt.press open.substack.com/pub/skeleton... I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I Playtest a lot of games and what the designer asks is really important in steering the conversation

@cardboardchris.bsky.social thinking about your feedback on the start tile for Beeline. What are your thoughts on this? Prev: Baby Bee + Water OR Seed + Pollen New: Baby Bee + Baby Bee + Seed Pollen and Water are plentiful on tiles, simplifies it to one action, and grounds it within the VP. 🎲 ✂️

Very concerned for the industry as a whole in light of recent news. I will try to stay positive and take this time to refocus on design for the sake of creativity. I know I am privileged to be able to do that. I hope everyone can ride the tides and make it through. 🎲 ✂️

#Unpub was the public debut of SOME (Southern Maine) Games, a design collective consisting of me and Gavin Pouliot. Several people who stopped by were inquisitive as to what it was all about. Its dead simple. Friends helping friends. 🎲✂️

Great write up on @unpub.bsky.social by @exeunt.press in the latest Skeleton Code Machine. Great way to start the morning: open.substack.com/pub/skeleton...

Unpub recap! Had a wonderful time playing emerging games and connecting with other designers. Here's a lengthy thread of games played and a reflection at the end. 🎲✂️

Endgame state of the last Beeline test @unpub.bsky.social Had 3 great testers really engage with the system and dig into it. Had a lot of fun watching.

Appreciate the prime position in this photo! It was great gaming with you!

Go do the following thing and maybe there will be some info about one of my games...

🎲 ✂️ I am beyond excited for Unpub, but for some reason I am procrastinating like crazy with updating my games... Looking forward to seeing people

Backed yesterday. Both games look incredible. Such a great value.

Alright my fellow board game designers 🎲✂️ Which game idea intrigues you most? Vote with the emoji or comment!

I should post on here more

January is a tough month for me to get much done. Lots of birthdays in the family. Hoping to start to build out the next project in time for some quality testing at Unpub. 🎲 ✂️

In a hobby/industry that feels like there can be lots of hurdles and flat out no's, I think it's important to celebrate small milestones and reflect on the journey. Today I was excited to mail my first requested prototype to a possible publisher. Fingers crossed that there is more to celebrate! 🎲 ✂️

I need to get better at using this platform. Here is a prototype box for a party game I am working on called Red String Theory which uses actual red string to make word association clues.

Does anyone know when more details and the hotel block will come out for Metatopia?

Looking to expand my play testing circle with my current project, Beeline! Shout out to @amanpossessed.bsky.social for the logo. If a puzzly, multi-path tableau builder where the tile drafting has major ramifications on your turn sounds interesting, hmu! Willing to trade Playtests.

Just tested one of @roscoschock.bsky.social newest designs, Elemental. Trick Taking meets LCG. A lot of fun possibilities in that concept. Looking forward to giving it a spin again.

New board game idea today. Spend "time" to move the shapes around, trying to match your pattern given on a random card. When the day ends, player closest to matching wins. Idk if there is really anything here but let's play around with it for a bit and see if anything clicks.

First test with someone I met here on blue sky ( @rollplusfun.bsky.social ) went well. Looking to get a few more tests set up before the next round of iterations. If anyone is looking to trade testing time or other feedback, please reach out! #boardgamedesign

Are you into board game design and local to seacoast NH? Consider joining me and @palanion.bsky.social at Jetpack Comics in Rochester NH on Wednesday 10/25 at 6 pm for a GMG Design Meetup! All experience levels welcome! meetu.ps/e/MxsLp/ZXbQ...
