Joining the @breakmygame.com Discord has been one of the best things I've done for this game. Living in ABQ limits my reach (we've got a killer design group tho) but the games I've read/played and the advice I've gotten on there is indescribably heartening and inspiring and I wish I did it sooner.

Had a great meetup at Guardian Games for the @breakmygame.com PDX meetup! We even had visitors from Seattle and Minnesota. Had a solid playtest of Hench, looks like there's still more to do. Also played an amazing galactic twister game from @boardgameghee.bsky.social and Sasha's great card battler!

Had a great time at the @breakmygame.com Portland Playtest event. Standouts include-
A heavy-weight time-travel game,
a 3-d word game,
a "The Batchelor" themed party game,
and Terraforming Mars, but Napoleon in Egypt.
I also got to test a new timing mechanism for Rex Regnat, which went well.
