Heading to @orcacon.bsky.social 2025 this January. We’ve scheduled two events to play FORK with Braille cards—one on Saturday and another on Sunday. Everyone is welcome to join. See you there! tabletop.events/conventions/...

Thank you for sharing!

Got my first play in of Aqua by @tatewu.bsky.social, a very clever 18 card game that packs a big punch for its size. The game sees players as museum curators who score either rows or columns of cards. Very impressed with my first play and looking forward to discussing on the podcast soon!

Although I am not a professional board game artist, to date, I've created animal illustrations for one published board game - #FORKboardgame by @tatewu.bsky.social. And character designs for the unpublished #ShanghaiNoir by @nathanrlong.bsky.social

Check out these BRAILLE cards for Fork by @tatewu.bsky.social ! He found a manufacturer in Taiwan to make his game more accessible; go play his newest game at Unpub up on the 4th level of #PAXU!

Sunday afternoon gaming... @nathanrlong.bsky.social & I taught Arcs by @leder.games to @tatewu.bsky.social who won his first game by securing a shitload of court cards!
