We've been taking some fancy product shots, Chess Joker is really shaping up! Very excited to be showing this off at #PAX Unplugged next week. Chess Joker is Carl Chudyk's latest - the great game of chess with lots of interesting cards. No more memorized board positions! Tactics rule the day.

Omg I want this so bad

Gachapon Trick is getting closer to its Korean release, and the hype is picking up! Playte has my original copy still, so I'm itching to play again as soon as possible

If you’re attending Indie Games Night Market at Pax Unplugged this year: You can be the winner of a painting supporting @boardgameanimal.bsky.social pay medical bills!! I’ll be selling $5 raffle tickets and announcing the winner at 9:30 PM! All proceeds will go to Justin for support. Come thru!!

HUGE Announcement!! I’m thrilled to reveal we’re starting a podcast: BATS! The “BoardGame-Animal-Talk-Show” With special guests: Reiner Knizia @dnlnwmn.bsky.social Ammon Anderson @asmeesh.bsky.social @ithayla.bsky.social & MORE to reveal!!~ Coming late December, stay tuned!! #boardgames

That was quick! Find Microfishing on BGG here: boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/45...

Microfishing is a 2-player fishing game based on Escoba where you'll play cards from hand to capture fish from the Lake (the table). As long as the played card and the Lake card(s) add to 18, you'll capture them! Rules and a print-ready PDF are linked below. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

I have three games that I am going to finish by the end of the week. By finish, I mean finalize the rules, submit to BGG, and be done with them. I want the brain power back to work on new stuff, and the spectre of "mostly done" games is draining me.

Released my new 2 player trick taker today at Hamishcon in Warwick, UK. Look out for copies soon on Travel-Games.co.uk !!

Hey board game folks, I need to contact some board game influencer types for a listicle i'm doing about family board games (for The Guardian). i'll probably contact the usual suspects but if you know of someone from an underrepresented group, pls give a shout! would love more diverse voices!

Thinking about bringing this one back again! I woke up today with a lot of ideas on improvement! 🐸

You can pick up the book here! It contains: “Games For a Rainy Day 54 micro-games, puzzles, and more by independent game designers and artists.” www.txtbooks.us/product/game...

Lord of the Rings Two Towers by @bbornmueller.bsky.social is Here!!! ✌️🙌💍🗼💫 youtu.be/0lOmIVZLdJE

I’m so so excited for Indie Games Night Market and to share my new card game Heavenly Bodies with the world!! 🪐✨ Here’s a preview of my pricing board!!

He’s right though (for board game designers it’s usually 1 to [any multiple of 18])

This is a very silly game and you should wishlist it. :)

Hey, friendly reminder that Scott Cawthon's donations to the GOP literally contributed to SNAP suspension and you shouldn't buy or stream Five Nights at Freddy's anything.

With the blessing of @aveknots.bsky.social to recreate the board from his upcoming IGNM release Rowin in crochet, I decided to show the process I typically use when doing things like this. This is mostly because I’m just absolutely enamored with the graphic design choices, especially the colors.🧵

I am PISSED Netflix had the audacity to not only use my BRAND NEW kid’s name in a movie, but to also steal my NICKNAME for them? I HAVE CALLED THIS HUMAN SMELLIOT SINCE THEY WAS A ZYGOTE.

I’m commissioning Justin for a $50 piece based on my new card game Heavenly Bodies. I’ll be raffling it off at my booth throughout Indie Games Night Market. Each raffle ticket will be $5 and any money I make over $50 will go directly back to Justin.

“Sketches for Lefty” We unfortunately are struggling right now to do some major unexpected life changes, insurance issues, & the many vet bills due to Lefty’s stroke/infection issue I didn’t want to ask for “help” but if you’re interested, please read below & reach out~ Anything’s appreciated

✨It’s Phantasmic release month!!!✨ You’ll be able to snag this one online on Black Friday as well as in person during Pax Unplugged!! If you like quick and light bluffing games, you’ll want to get your hands on this!! 🎲✂️

@dx.social.ridetrans.it.ap.brid.gy You’ve been noticed!

My October games. For this month to be so much for me personally, I got a good variety of stuff played!

October was…let’s say “sparse” gaming-wise

Are you interested in learning more about my new card game Heavenly Bodies? 🪐✨🌙 First review is up from @byssh3.bsky.social one of my earliest playtesters!! Go check it out!! boardgamegeek.com/thread/36022...

Happy Halloween👻

CONGRATS!!!

I designed a card game! This is Haunted Mouse and you can join me in this tutorial to see how it plays :) youtu.be/jeYycf5aqZc

Just finished up the first two complete copies of my new card game Heavenly Bodies, and sending them out to game reviewers! 🪐✨🌙 Now to do the same for the 50 more copies I’ll have for sale at Indie Games Night Market during Pax Unplugged!!

Finished beats flawless every day of the week. - Me as I mentally close off projects I don’t want to work on anymore

"What does antifa do?" My personal experience with antifa.

Damn, schnapsen is a good game. That’s all.

I have two subscription donations running I don’t think I’ll ever cancel. One is to the app service for Online-Go and the other is Wikipedia.

Surprised I didn’t have as many plays as I thought. Oh well! Interesting week regardless.

Released the rules for a new 3p climber! It’s a main‑course offering, and it isn’t for everyone. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/45...

Between the accident Essen reveal, it being shown at the local conventions, and the announcement on Tumblbug, I feel I can safely talk about how @dnlnwmn.bsky.social's Gachapon Trick, the most played trick taker in my and many others' collection, is being published by Playte games!!

I am very insignificant in the grand scheme of many things, especially the board game world, but the thumbnail of the video alone was enough for me to decide I just won’t watch any of their content again. The absolute best people I’ve befriended the last two years *are* indie game designers.

in the PIT. straight up "fusing it". and by "it", haha, well. let's justr say. My BALLs

It worked up so fast! Such a delightful little creature. “Libation Beast”

Got a wild hare and made a box for Heavenly Bodies from @marcelineleiman.bsky.social. I put the player aid on the inside of the lid and it’s almost perfect! Definitely legible enough for me anyway.

Chasing Shadows is David Spalinski's follow-up to last year's Torchlit. This is an uncommon trick-taker that uses its setting as more than spackle — and it's one of the best examples of the genre I've played in years. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/10/21/c...

Finished making my baby a blanket. It needs to be blocked, so we’ll see if I get that far before they arrive, haha.

Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.
