Sorry puppy, you had already lost as soon as you challenged me #boardgames

I try to be selective about how much detail I give when people ask me about #boardgames. If we're not sitting down and playing, this is about as far as I let it go

Did a little print-at-home project, this is a cool little tuck box!

Filling empty space in the rulebook is a #boardgames tradition. It works out well that Chuck BB's art for the game is so expressive

Played a little board game last night that is packaged not in a box, but a tiny little backpack, awesome. I learned that game sits in a normal board game box on store shelves, and thought that was a strange decision.

Working on #boardgames, toying with some different ideas, and stumbled on some Guilty Gear vibes with the "behind the action" lettering. It's fun enough to screenshot, but I'm definitely not sticking with it.

Okay so rulebooks, there's an opportunity to reinforce the things you want to be immediately apparent about your game, right? How thematic do you allow your rules to be? How sarcastic? Assuming it reads well, is understood, how far can you really push the creative limits? 🎲✂️

So I started playing around with a rock and roll theme and ended up making something kind of like cooperative Uno. Normally at this point in the process I'm asking myself if it's fun, but this time I'm just rocking out to Led Zeppelin. Zen and the art of Zep 🎲✂️

Ooh, tried out some of the monsters Chuck BB included in a free preview, his art is awesome and eerie www.chuckbb.com/helllordsand...

Playing the #boardgame Dungeon Degenerates and I would describe it as "greasy". Lots of rules referencing, and I feel like I need to wash my hands after. Fun for goofing off with patient friends

Sometimes in Search for Planet X it's better to act with your gut and play theories before you confirm them. Not this time, I was pretty wrong this time. But sometimes. #boardgames

Boxing boxing, animals animals. Decided the monkey should be just a little crazy, based on the art. Blue cards are usually defensive, but the monkey is coming out swinging this time #boardgames

Knuckle Down: Animal Boxing will be at the Break My Game play test event in Portland, OR this Sunday Who will win the trophy? #boardgames 🎲✂️

Just look at some more of this incredible art by Chuck BB for Knuckle Down: Animal Boxing! See more of Chuck's art at www.chuckbb.com and get more details about the card game at www.northwestgamelabs.com

Kitchen Witches is up in The Lab, check it out here: www.northwestgamelabs.com/the-lab A push-your-luck flip and write about witches making pastries. It's small, fast, and free, just print up the cards and the recipe sheets, skim the 1-page rulebook, and make some magical cakes! #boardgames 🎲✂️

Back after several weeks of radio silence, and cooking up something like a 9-card flip and write about witches making pastries. I'll test it next week and if it's cool it will be downloadable for free shortly after that, keep an eye out #boardgames 🎲✂️

Is there a #boardgame that plays kind of like the video game Papers Please? I wonder if that would work.

Knuckle Down: Animal Boxing uses different-color card backs (to show when cards are aggressive, defensive, etc). I put it off a long time, but I finally got some clear card sleeves and can fully appreciate the card back art 🎨 #boardgames 🎲 ✂️

Played @haoleboygames.bsky.social Soccer54! Set up is a bit of shuffling, a bit of dealing, but you get into the game and start seeing a lot of clever, tight game design unfold. Hand management, bluffing, the way you have to juggle the ball around if you don't have the right cards to score... Nice

Worked with Chuck BB on Knuckle Down: Animal Boxing, check out his art at www.chuckbb.com There's such an intensity in his characters, I love how expressive they are #boardgames

How do you organize your board game nights? Do you typically have a game already decided, then invite people, or do you pick after everybody shows up? How do you handle cancellations? How do you decide who hosts? Just making sure I'm doing it right.

🎲 ✂️ Just opened up The Lab for public consumption, a page we are using to test board game ideas and prototypes. Be warned, these are not polished games but rather a look into what kinds of ideas we are working on: www.northwestgamelabs.com/the-lab #boardgames

🎲✂️ if you have a short game that needs testing, let me know and I'll try to get my family to play on Thanksgiving If your family might enjoy a 15-minute boxing game, you can download print and play files at NorthwestGameLabs.com, I made some balance changes and would love feedback

Legacy games aren't for everybody, but has anybody cleared a whole legacy game in one session? It was Pandemic legacy S1 for me, a very long evening+morning but a wild time #boardgames

Okay, that's it, I'm buying the Heat: Pedal to the Metal expansion. Don't try to talk me out of it.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BXP... I cut together a quick look at how I prep cards for Knuckle Down: Animal Boxing I'll probably put up a "how to play" video today, it's a fast boxing game for two people, and it's FREE 🎉 northwestgamelabs.itch.io/kdab

Some people asking about board game adjacent gifts, and now I have it in my head to buy a bunch of packs of card sleeves to give out to all my board game friends and family #boardgames

Ayy, we got something posted: NorthwestGameLabs.itch.io/kdab It's Knuckle Down: Animal Boxing! 2 player, head to head game, just print it out and start throwing punches! Chuck BB did the art, check him out at www.chuckbb.com Try it out and let us know what you think #boardgames

Hello Bluesky! We're gearing up to share some free print and play board games, and want to start getting ideas about what to develop further. What kinds of small games are you into? #boardgames
