I've been working on this for the last couple of months and I'm so proud to be able to make something that helps folks play more, save money, and reduce their carbon footprint by reducing, reusing, and recycling their game materials.

This looks great! Good luck with the project, and if I ever design anything that fits, I'll send it your way!

Still figuring out how to reply-play with that name without being blocked 🤔

This is awesome, I would love to design something for it. For this, how do you feel about using a book, lights, or other household objects as a component?

carolmertz.itch.io•2 days ago

I love it. I’m kicking around various book ideas myself! Anything that you can expect to find in the majority of households is fair game, imo.

this is so so cool Carol!!!!

carolmertz.itch.io•3 days ago

Thank you! Love me a little anticapitalist project ♥️

Great work--I love the rationale, selections, and presentation! I've enjoyed working out the history of many games like this (including Exquisite Corpse--link in profile), and it's a treat to see them being modernized.

carolmertz.itch.io•14 hours ago

Ah that’s so great! Yeah, I was having a really hard time finding any user-friendly aggregates of classic games that inspired modern party games. If you have suggestions for other games that might fit that bill, I’d be very interested to hear any thoughts!

wobbupalooza.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Oh, I love Impromptu Tale and have notes there on it. TikTok's Got It is fun, there too. On a forfeits page, there're manuals to loot, e.g. Crambo's still played as "I have a word that starts with _." Cross Questions... ? Wink Murder, Murder in the Dark & Mafia/Werewolf (on TV now)? Very rich domain

carolmertz.itch.io•12 hours ago

Wink murder is already on my short list of future games! I’ll definitely look into the rest—thank you so much!

i came for the title if you know what i mean ;)

HAYOOOOOO

Wow, this is super cool. It makes me want to try and design games using your confines as limitations for my own development. Maybe playtesting everyone's party games could be the game. Like when people have PowerPoint parties, but with homemade game.

carolmertz.itch.io•3 days ago

Definitely! I would love to eventually do Play With Your Own Junk Jams to get folks thinking of how to design approachable party games with sustainable foundations.

kurttaylor.bsky.social•3 days ago

Look at all of that Approachable Junk! Would you have a place for people to share their jam entries?

carolmertz.itch.io•3 days ago

I haven’t gotten that far yet 😂

kurttaylor.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ha, sorry. Of course. I get excited.

carolmertz.itch.io•3 days ago

I appreciate that you’re into the project enough to ask about this sort of thing! It’s good for me to think about.

I'm always floored both by your creativity and your constant push of your boundaries in creating clever ways to entertain
