🎲✂️ I think populating spreadsheets is my least favorite part. just saying... I wish I was one of those freak in the sheets kinda people. #spreadsheets #gamedesign #creatingfun

Game Designers: How do you best balance a deck of cards where each card has a cost, and then a wildly different power from each other, and some are end game scoring, some are immediate, and some are powers. Asking for a friend. 🎲✂️ Ugh. I can start with a base value, After that I'm winging it.

She's an awesome person and a tremendous designer.

Details matter in games.

Sometimes actually the details make the game.

Check out these amazing details on the box for Digging for Dinos! On this box, you can actually see the bones inside the dinosaurs on the box cover!

Digging for Dinos by 3WS will be coming straight to retail soon.

Garden Club: A Game of Clever Cultivation Grow a bountiful garden by planting fruits, veggies and flowers into scoring patterns in this two-player strategic board game!

Super excited about Garden Club and Petal on KS, we are now two days in, fully funded in approx 4 hours, and continues to climb. We are now up to more than 240% Funded and Over 350 backers. @kristenmott.bsky.social and I put our love into these games, Chris Couch games make it a reality! Link Below

I would reach out to GAMA directly. I wasn't involved in it myself, I only attended.

This private message, just made my day:

Got to play Wine Cellar with a bunch of friends at Salt Con and we loved it. Great design.
I’m super excited to back Garden Club + Petal in a couple weeks!

(picture of Wine Cellar added for reference only)

For those who have launched a KS before creates a large amount of anxiety. As the game designer, I'm a bit detached, but still heavily invested in the success.

I can't imagine how the publisher feels, probably what I've got x1,000: March 24th can't come soon enough. 😰

Good tip! Does it work flawlessly?

It's been a week since GAMA expo and I'm still not caught up with following up on all the things that happened at it. all the rest of you who are on to another convention with UnPub or Protospiels, are living the dream, but how do you not drop a few things.

Coming soon: Garden Club Cultivate a bountiful garden by planting fruits, veggies and flowers into scoring patterns in this two-player strategic board game!

The nerves are a bit racked. We are 2 weeks out from launching the kickstarter for Garden Club and Petal. To say we are excited is an understatement!
