Me standing in Barnes & Noble with a copy of my game “High Tide” in my hands!
It really hits something different when you can see and feel your game in a store! ✨
I never imagined I’d hit this point—now with many more games on the way!
Never expected my “unpublishable” abstract game would soar this far. You never know who else will fall in love with a simple idea! 🌊
Excited about this one!
Dance off! Repost a dance.
Great deal here. I'll link my reviews below.
That’s awesome! I’ve loved going to my wife’s book launches at book stores and wondered if any game makers did that.
Sounds like a great week of games!
Oh man, loved Animorphs as a kid. I’m glad there is a re-release (with the less creepy covers! Ha)
Designer Skye Larsen with a big beard, blue shirt, and glasses. He’s holding a copy of Burgle Bros 3 at a game store with other board games on shelves in the background.
On a cross country road trip for a move, and stopped at @gamesunl.bsky.social in Pittsburgh on the way. Always fun (and a bit surreal) to see one of my games on a store shelf. Game is Burgle Bros 3, co-designed with Tim Fowers.
Photo of Walkable City prototype, showing a grid-based map with various colored zones and icons like houses and archery targets and washing machines; colored plastic pieces mark out routes across the city, and small wooden cylinders stand on some of the locations.
Got a chance to try out a prototype of Walkable City from @drawnonward.bsky.social. The prototype and draft rules I had weren't finished yet so there were questions here and there, but I really loved working with other players to build out transit options for the residents. 🧵
Walkable City has under 3 days remaining on Kickstarter!
We've just about smashed our existing stretch goals to make the city more gorgeous and add some fancy destination meeples - Take a look at the campaign below!

Played this one with Dan and had a good time with it. I really loved how the simultaneous dice “chucking and plucking” worked. Really well crafted.
It’s been a while since I played it but I think Hand to Hand Wombat relied on your sense of touch as you’re blindfolded.
A lot of games use sight in some way, but I think “quick reflex” games like Spot It as well as the depth perception test of Dive are unique sight-focused games.
Sweet. Sent you a DM.
Would love to try it out if you’re willing! Been curious about it for a long time.
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how so much game design advice that’s available is really just business/product advice. It’s got a lot of survivorship bias and as a result, it’s homogenising and dissuading a lot of what’s possible.
So…I’m making a little vlog series about it!
It was a pleasant surprise to discover this in my feed! A board game about building a walkable city; two of my favourite things! I backed the project and am looking forward to it coming to life! Check it out! @drawnonward.bsky.social @nerd4cities.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/fow...

I just backed Walkable City - the Urban Planning Boardgame on @kickstarter.com. Designed by the inimitable @drawnonward.bsky.social! I playtested a version of this a couple years back at Gen Con and it was wonderful.

Since it might not be clear from this post alone, I’m stoked! Slay the Spire is one of my favorite games in all its forms so far. Can’t wait for March 5!
Co-op! Which was likely partially inspired by the board game’s success with co-op, which was a board game based off of the original video game, which was a video game inspired by board games (deck builders).
