Sounds Fishy from @BigPotatoGames is a push-your-luck communication game where you try to spot fake answers whilst avoiding the real ones. Good for 7+ year-olds. It's a 4-10 player Brain Game-Communication-Push-Your-Luck board game, out now.

“I would have never heard of this hidden gem if not for flicking through cards on Ludocene.” Thanks @plante.bsky.social for the glowing write up in @polygon.com today. Also love that you discovered Walk With Yai Yai from @trentmakesgames.bsky.social. www.polygon.com/news/526452/...

Even though I have a backlog the size of a planet to go through, I hope that this idea might be the start of alternative ways to build/ curate storefronts/catalogues and offer different interfaces than just Steam.

Great conversation with @kylestarr.bsky.social. We go deep into the background of Ludocene and the inspiration for the name (Donna Haraway).

New episode of my podcast Y-Button! I chatted with @geekdadgamer.bsky.social about his awesome new app Ludocene — a game recommendation engine in the form of deck-building dating app, powered by human-curated data and augmented with expert tastes. www.ybutton.online/episodes/15-...

I'm in very early talks about being one of the experts for this great new game discovery tool. Please support it on Kickstarter if you're able - I think it's an interesting way for folk to find new games + indies especially to be discovered. ❤️
