I loved Treasure Hunt when I was younger. I never realised at the time that a TV show fronted by two women and a gay man was as groundbreaking as it was for the times.

See this #boardgames designers and publishers. THIS is what 90ish% of tie break rules should be. Not some arbitrary thing.

Those scores are way to high. A winning score is about 70-80.
Or maybe thatâs that the evil way I play it!

Oh this wonât be good! Itâs half an idea based of an Italian idiom. Imagine the bag has a giant wolfâs mouth on players out there hand inside.
Otherwise Iâm just borrowing a few idea from other push your luck and write type games and throwing them at it.

Fun factâŚ.
In Italian rollercoasters are called Russian Mountains. In Russian they are called American Slides.

I agree with what you wrote about taking rests. Every days I would just stop for an hour after the halls close to relax. I didnât feel the crazy burnout I usually do. Next year Iâm prob in a hotel further away so might not be able to.

Whilst Iâm learning Italian Iâm finding specific phrases that only make sense in that language and finding myself wanting to make a game about it. If I make a push your luck game called âIn Bocca al Lupoâ donât be surprised.

Iâve learnt when pitching publishers are mentally working out a production cost. Know exactly what components and amount of artwork it needs.

I finally watched a rules video.
I really want to try Gibberers, only thing that put me off was there didnât seem to be a lose condition? It feels important to me in co-op that we can fail. I need some jeopardy in my co-ops!

Really interesting stuff. The feedback I found myself giving a lot at UKGE was to ask âwhat decisions do you want me to make?â It felt a lot of what I tested was âturn over a card and something happensâ

Travelling down I was making up game ideas including a co-op with da limited word use rule.
I was then told about Gibberers which sounded a bit like it. So I _really_ want to try that one.

I took 8 pairs of socks this year and changed them mid day. I donât regret this at all. Will absolutly start doing next time.
However I took to many clothes. I didnât wear the hoodie once and that look up lots of value space.
