I spent some quality time using the AGML site @marcgwiz.bsky.social built to chart #Soccer54 ⚽️, and I am deeply satisfied with his contribution to 🎲✂️. AGML: www.agml.dev

Amazing Bus #boardgame review! Also check out their Arcs review if you like this one! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrqD...

Yet another great #boardgame review. How do they keep getting away with this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiQx...

Trump and Vance's absolute disrespect to president Zelensky does not reflect my values. What they did is a complete embarrassment. I stand with the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇸🇺🇦

Just want to say a huge thank you to all of the Cardboard Edison judges for taking the time to judge our submissions! I got a ton of great feedback. #boardgame #gamedesign 🎲✂️

Introducing the FINALISTS FOR THE 2025 CARDBOARD EDISON AWARD!!! cardboardedison.com/award

@its-cnelly.bsky.social put on an amazing improv show last night! Could not be more proud 🥲 Listening to a soy milk vs whole milk debate was definitely a highlight 🤣

Just wanted to take a moment to shout out my wife's #wordle stats. 1047 games played and a win percentage of 98%. So proud of her!

Got the first physical print of my ‘Press your luck’ style game called Run the Row. Wow, ain’t she a beaut’! 😻 @playsmidgen.bsky.social #gamedesign #cardgame #boardgame #designer #pressyourluck

Loving these short and sweet #boardgame reviews. www.youtube.com/watch?v=buJZ...

Definitely considering converting my #boardgame, Space Debris, into a video game using #Godot. The rules and gameplay loop are already established. Could be a fun exercise!

I just had to draw the 2025 vibe I was feeling. #2025 #illustration

Had an exciting idea last night on how to improve my board game. Holding off on any changes until after Cardboard Edison feedback. Might have to start another project in the meantime. 🕵️‍♂️

Struggling on gold stake painted deck in #balatro until this came along! Hanging Chad + Photograph+ Madness (x3.5) + Triboulet Seed included below 🌱

REMINDER: If you want to submit your game to the 2025 Cardboard Edison Award, today is your last day! Details at cardboardedison.com/award

youtube.com/watch?v=DyrO... hooray open source!

🎲✂️Very excited to announce my submission to @cardboardedison.com 2025! Space Debris is available to try right now on ScreenTop. Best of luck to all contestants, cannot wait for the feedback! 😁 #boardgame #gamedesign #space www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIFq...

Some coworkers and I played my #boardgame after work today and had a great time! They picked up the rules by their 3rd turn and started to see the decision space. The best thing I heard from them; "can we play again?" 🥲. We had to cut the game short, but I am so pleased!

🎲✂️ Realized right before a playtest started that I misspelled something. Turns out a "Treat" track is not nearly as ominous as a "Threat" track 🤣

🎲✂️Finally have my board game prototype in a digital format. I have a much better appreciation for all the work that goes into making a game on Screen Top. One step closer to submitting my co-op #boardgame to @cardboardedison.com . I want to make sure my rule book has visual examples first!

So excited for #agdq2025 ! The runs so far have been incredible.

🎲✂️ Rival Spirit Games is hosting a 2-week design jam on their Discord. The theme of the jam is to create a card game that's playable in one booster pack. ie: Each player gets a booster of (up to) 18 random cards. The jam begins Jan 6 11pm EST. More details on their Discord: discord.gg/HzHzwWZQ3g

🎲✂️ Refining my #boardgame as much as possible before the 2025 @cardboardedison.com submission. I've been struggling with w/ a system & then remembered 2 key pieces of advice: - "Design to the line": bsky.app/profile/nick... - "Finding the fun is like a search algorithm": youtu.be/o5K0uqhxgsE?...

It's time! SUBMISSIONS FOR THE 2025 CARDBOARD EDISON AWARD ARE NOW OPEN! Show us your unpublished board game prototype by January 31! cardboardedison.com/award

Happy new year boardgame designers. Thank you for your thoughts, feedback, and help in 2024. Looking forward to 2025! 🎲✂️

New Year Eve's eve beach walk.

🎲✂️ Playtest ~13 (losing count lol). Feeling pretty good about my #boardgame prototype. So thankful for my family's feedback over the holiday. Stress testing it at 2/3/4 player counts and refining the rulebook are my next steps. My goal is to submit this to Cardboard Edison in January 2025. 🙂‍↕️

Played #Arcs tonight for the first time tonight. 1v1 against my wife. We decided to play for 2 chapters or 1 hour (whichever was shorter) to learn the game. So much depth. I definitely could have taught the game better. But I think we both have a good working grasp of the game now 😁 #boardgames

🦆 Alchemist expansion. Looking forward to trying all of the different patients. The replayability of this game is off the charts! #boardgames Happy holidays 🥳

Christmas #boardgame night with the family while baby sleeps. 12 Drummers Drumming is a surprise delight!

Working on the digital implementation of #boardgame in #Godot. I have implemented all of the movement and standard attacks as shown in the video below - now I just have to implement the abilities! :) PS: It's a competitive abstract strategy. #gamedev #indiedev #boardgames #hobby

Digital mock up of a #boardgame I am designing. Players collaborate to capture space debris around Earth, recycle it, & repair defunct satellites. Fully repairing a satellite grants a team wide bonus. The challenge is to repair all satellites before Earth is surrounded by space junk! #gamedesign

Trying my hand at creating a #boardgame rulebook for the game I'm working on. I'm writing it in a Markdown file and plan to track changes/versions using Git. Are there any best practices I should be aware of? 🎲✂️

🎲✂️ Space Debris Cleanup Crew Playtest 5 - end game is not balanced, total explosion of debris cubes. I think the solution is to prolong the mid game to give players more time before the #boardgame climaxes. On the plus side, this iteration is leaps and bounds more fun than iteration 1.

Finally listened to all of #epicthemusical, goodness gracious there are so many amazing songs. Here is one I can't get out of my head. ⚡ music.youtube.com/watch?v=gtKN...

Terrible Game Idea: Card game, but using business cards

🎲✂️ Working on a co-op #boardgame using what I've learned so far. Players work together to capture space debris around Earth, recycle it, then use it to repair broken space stations. This iteration uses a bunch of components from other games. I've identifying what was fun and what wasn't 🧵

🎲✂️ Hey #boardgames, I am doing some research. What are some games that include rotating game boards? I know that #Seti has planets orbiting the Sun. Are there any others that come to mind?

My 3 year old niece is visiting. We went through #UnstableUnicorns and chose our favorite unicorn cards. She loves the rainbow unicorn and we're letting her bring it home with her ☺️ 🌈🦄 #boardgames

New #Balatro joker!? Name: Mardi gras Effect: Alternating suits in played hand grants x1.5 mult Open other effect proposals!

A casual game of #scout & #huesandcues with the family! Love the quality time 🙂 #boardgames

Been using what I've learned in my #boardgamedesign analyses to create my own board game. Its like seeing the matrix 🤯 Drafting out a player's turn using diagrams helps identify edge cases, rule ambiguity, and excess complexity. Hoping to post more prototype details soon!

Can you find the 15 popular #boardgame names in this word search? You're a pro if you can do it without the word bank! DM me with all the names to win your prize.

Tried Calico digitally thanks to the board game Humble Bundle. My wife and I love the puzzle and the cute cat theme. The deal is still open for the next 10 hours if any of these #boardgames interest you! www.humblebundle.com/games/board-...

Putting together the boardgames of the year list again for Smithsonian Magazine - if you are a gamer, especially a gamer parent, or involved in the industry would love to hear your thoughts.

🎲✂️ #boargame #gamedesign analysis: Honey Buzz by @paulsalomon27.bsky.social . This game has gotten to my table more frequently than others recently. We're really enjoying the action cascade after completing 1 (or more) empty cells in our hive. Players can have explosive turns with proper planning! 🧵

🎲✂️ I've made #boardgame #gamedesign diagrams, but never explicitly shared the components. Here is a brief rundown: Square: Rule / procedure. ie, draw a card Circle: End state. ie, victory, defeat, end turn Diamond: Conditional, typically phrased as a question. ie, does the player have X points? 1/2

1. Catan. Fine game, there are other games I just enjoy more. 2. Bang! Fun, but I don't enjoy games where players can be eliminated for longer than 10+ minutes. 3. Root. Great complexity and asymmetry 4. Scout. There is so much to love about this tiny box!!! #boardgames #tabletop
