L'oaf Bakers try to work as little as possible, without getting fired!

This week we're commending L'oaf, a game that explores the vagaries of working a job that demands too much. You play as a worker in a bakery. Your goal is to work as little as possible. Its a good game if you know how to bluff.

We are really excited about publishing Color Jam, designed by @stickydoodler.bsky.social and Joe Kell. It's a cozy, print-and-puzzle coloring game for one or for you and some friends. It's perfect for lazy summer evenings or for when you want a whisper of strategy in your coloring. πŸ–οΈπŸ–οΈ

Seize the Power Diverse aliens bid for rules to discriminate against each other.

There is a description, and some old photos, on BGG.

Some details have changed, but the basic theme remains.

For a few years, I've been working on a game about privilege, discrimination, negotiation, and subjugation of power with Tiz Creel.

I think the basic rules are done, but now we need to work out all the card effects and numbers.

Hoping to have a tiny number of copies for sale at UKGE 2027.
