Last month I attended @rocnestgames.bsky.social @playtestuk.bsky.social meetup at Otter Chaos in Brixton. First up was @kevmakesgames.bsky.social Creature Cleaner, a hilarious game that fits in a cassette case where you mime cleaning an animal with a small selection of props. 🎲✂️ #BoardGameDesign

Anyone got some advice, insights, or good rule of thumbs for designing a solo mode for board games? I'm making one that acts like a player building buildings, completing missions to interact with the player, take up space, and race you in VP. It's going well, but I'd love hear your experiences 🎲✂️
