Rock. Paper. Scissors. KABOOM? 💥
Never fully trusted that childhood classic, so naturally... I tried to redesign it!

Pocketopia, I’m sorry 🥺🙏
Missed a major gaming event last year, and I’m sure as heck not missing out this time around.

How many free PnPs do you play regularly?
A fresh BGG contest is here to celebrate those gems, so now feels like the perfect time to show them some gratitude.

Visual Playthrough is back with another episode 🚀
This time I’m deep in space, running on limited resources and trying to fully utilize my brain cells in this puzzly roll-and-write: Space Commander.

One of my favorite non-solo PnPs is making a comeback!
And it’s the perfect time to revisit the conversation with the mind behind this gem.

I can feel it in my bones!
Something tells me this year’s Micro May will be even bigger than 2025’s. Maybe because of the game I already have in hand? 🤔

Ah, to be an architect designing gardens in 18th-century France! 👌
Too bad my clients, the French nobles, are far too picky.

After my 73rd issue, where I looked back at playing Solitaire while trying Cavern Shuffle, many of you reached out. Shared your stories. Asked how the game really stands out once you look past the basics.
So I broke it down:
pnptime.beehiiv.com/p/the-people...
#cardgame #solitaire #indiegames
Polyomino placement x Roll-and-write x Resource management x Monster-fighting.
I had a blast these past couple of weeks playing Hidden Realms: The Mummy’s Tomb.

I found myself in a dungeon, again.
But this one had 7 corridors, filled with obstacles and enemies & one badass final boss who kept blocking my way!
Read my detailed take on Cavern Shuffle:

Solitaire, but not the way you remember it.
From a PC screen, to a deck of cards… to a dungeon crawl!
Issue #73 is out now, and this one goes down memory lane before taking a turn I did not expect. 👀

A roll and write game
One galaxy. Six sequences. And zero room for mistakes!
My latest blog dives into Space Commander, a puzzle-y roll-and-write that shrinks resources with every round.
Are you ready for this brain-teasing gem?

Pocket-sized dungeon crawl packed with a punch!
Looking back at a game that has traps, upgrades, monsters, and enough decision space to make you feel responsible for your own downfall!

The dynamic part of BYTE:SHIFT comes from the configurator: you can randomize/customize the print before printing, so each version can come with different setups or challenges. So it’s dynamic at the creation stage, not just on the table!
A new kind of print-and-play? 👀
In my 71st issue, I’m talking about a fresh spin on PnP that feels genuinely exciting, especially now that I’ve got one of them in hand!
