I haven’t posted anything here about it, but I’m also making a card game I hope to bring to SoBo.
But this game is a boss battling race where you build your toy and attack. There are different pieces to choose from with different stats.

A series of Tree cards, some of which became components of our Thurn grove. One is being cultivated, more stymied, so that it will not enter Dou-Raan before it's neighbour becomes Raan, which would invalidate our score. The oak becomes Thurn in ten years.
It really made me think about the demands I place on players, about my expectations.
It was also amazingly fun, as was discussing it later.

New design for the premade ruin for #exotomb
But Exo Tomb also lets you create your own maps to exolore. So every ruin can be different.

Nothing made me feel more like it was all worth it than when one of our playtesters got so excited about Mugen Taikai that they made a tier list of which cards they felt were the strongest.

When I attended Protospiel Online for the first time, I didn't quite know what kind of thing I was getting myself into. From the very first minute I joined, the host in the room was incredibly welcoming and helpful, and everyone was positive and supportive throughout. It was great to experience such a wide variety of games in such a short space of time, and to talk to more experienced designers in between games. ~Nik Silver

Protospiel Online Attendee Highlights Photo of Zachary Morris Every time I've attended Protospiel Online has been a highlight of my year. PO is one of my favorite ways to spend a weekend. I love getting to try so many cool games, I love bringing wild experiments to the event, I love spending the weekend in a place where it feels like I truly belong. PO is so much fun and is so affirming to attend as a designer. Thank you for running it!!! ~Zachary Morris

Protospiel Online Attendee Highlights Photo of Bill Huffman What a great weekend of games! I played 7 games not mine and 3 total tests of 2 of mine. But, most importantly, I met some great people and tested some exciting games, all of which inspire me. My first PO exceeded my expectations and met the hype. Well done organizers and moderators!!

Protospiel Online Attendee Highlights Photo of Greg Pool What a fantastic introduction to the world of tabletop game design and creative thinking. I got to playtest my prototype several times but played even more interesting prototypes from inspiring people. In fact, it’s always a welcome surprise when some of the most helpful people playtesting your game end up announcing shortly after that their game got signed by a publisher! ~Greg Pool

Protospiel Online Attendee Highlights Photo of Xoe Allred Protospiel Online has always been a welcoming, kind, and accepting space in the industry to me. I've brought so many quirky untested gremlin games to this event and always get excellent productive playtests to polish those games without sacrificing their quirkiness. ~Xoe Allred

Protospiel Online Attendee Highlights Photo of Bernardo Stein "I was surprised I had fun playing all prototypes I tried, even when the description didn't seem to appeal to me and/or when the description was like "I just put this together, let's try it out!" I adopted a policy of joining any games on the queue, preferring the ones waiting for the longest time, and I'm glad I did. Very inspiring to see the quality of the games everyone brought to PO!" ~Bernardo Stein
