So long, and thanks for all the fish 🐬 Bluesky was fun but its algorithms continue to frustrate the experience I'm after 😞 I'll remain on Mastodon for the foreseeable future 🐘 fosstodon.org/@s3rvant

Orapa Mine is a puzzly little brain burner of a board game We've played it several times already usually enough rounds each session so each player can have a turn designing the puzzle #boardgames #gaming

If you're arriving here after the #tiktokban, here's some help finding some lovely board game humans to follow.

Daughter and son-in-law came over tonight which means... board games! She requested roll-n-writes and specifically another go at Orapa Mine with picks ending up as: 1 game of Welcome To (lost) 3 rounds of Orapa Mine (won x2) 1 game of Koala Rescue Club (won, 1st time playing) #boardgames #gaming

Kiddos have been building better Pokemon decks so looked up some cheaper decks to tinker with and ended up building a budget Greninja EX deck based on a few others that I had found. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up. pokemoncard.io/deck/budget-... #pokemontcg #pokemon #gaming

Peeps, the physical version of Everspark is just around the corner, which means you just have TWO MORE DAYS to get it at pre-sale price. πŸ₯³πŸ₯³ Now is the time! πŸ“£πŸ“£

Roller coaster of emotions over the arrival of Dragon Eclipse 🀩 at arriving a day early 😬 seeing 30-40 minute unboxing guide 😍 unpacking the gorgeous minis 😭 at the hour it actually took to unbox ☺️ looked through all the sorted bits Now to schedule game day! #DragonEclipse #boardgames #gaming

Game day with oldest kiddos including Beacon Patrol, Trailblazers, Welcome To and Quacks of Quedlinburg (not pictured) Didn't win any of them; fun times regardless 😊 #boardgames #gaming

Hollywood High School will serve as an evacuation site for the Sunset fire in Hollywood, KTLA reported. The school is at 1521 Highland Ave. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Protospiel Online is one of my favorite conventions as a game designer; both getting and giving feedback with other designers has lead to some of the most rapid design iteration of any other playtesting I've done

Couldn’t resist and added a map-making procedure to Everspark πŸ˜„ This one used hand gestures! Boy, the fun I have with those things πŸ˜…

Well deserved IMO

Good news, peeps! If you missed the Everspark campaign, now it is available as a pre-launch sale on itch! And you get immediate access to the updated beta version (nearly the final game) for a discounted price! Share the news! 🌟 capacle.itch.io/everspark

Also got in a game of #Faraway where the cards most certainly conspired against me... could NOT find the 2nd plant icon I needed so my entire lineup only scored 4 points... Fortunately my sanctuaries came through allowing a narrow victory #boardgames #gaming

Got in a game of #Flamecraft with youngest son while lady folks were out and about. πŸ’™ gained a small lead in early game and then took off mid game as ❀️ hit a slump. Late game ❀️ started scoring several shop upgrades but πŸ’™ had a couple big payoffs at the end that sealed their win #boardgames #gaming

16 in the house this morning celebrating Christmas with family and friends ❀️

Youngest are in bed. Time to finish prep for our annual #Christmas scavenger hunt. My efficiency over the next few hours will determine how much sleep I get. Wish me luck.

First play of the new Lord of the Rings trick taking board game. Work together in this card game loosely following the fellowship storyline over 3 chapters. Each game, players are given different characters with unique requirements for victory. All need to be met to win. So far it's good stuff!

My mother has great taste in head gear #Christmas

you guys. i haven't been this excited about developing a game ever. upg has finally achieved what i've been chasing since working on dailydungeon.net: making #gamedev fun again

Our annual Christmas treasure hunt will be the biggest it's ever been this year with 11 participants each after tiny sticky notes with the numbers they need to figure out their final gifts. ChatGPT has been a huge help as I simply do not have the brain space to create all the clues needed... #ai

Final 10 hours for Behold: Rome (Deluxe Edition) by Joe Klipfel currently crowdfunding on The Game Crafter: www.thegamecrafter.com/crowdsale/be... I've played several of Joe's in-hand games and they are phenomenal; certainly excited to play this one as well. #boardgames #gaming #crowdfunding
