This is an episode I'm really proud of! Brendan and I got super heady in our discussion of gameplay as a form of artistic self expression. Check it out! Do you think gameplay can be expressive? Which games do you find lean into expressive play styles?

Another quarter, another three titles from New Mill Industries! This time, it's a trio of ladder-climbers and card-shedders, including Greasy Spoon, Dickory, and Lepidoptery. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/02/27/g...

I wrote a design diary for Crits & Tricks if anyone interested in the game's journey from idea to completion. This is the first project of mine to make it to this point! Kind of a long post but it's a story of trying to find the fun in a design. boardgamegeek.com/thread/34638...

And we’re live! Crits & Tricks is my sincere love letter to RPG dice and trick-taking and I hope people feel that love! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ins...

Did you know New Mill Industries publishes new editions of out-of-print trick taking and climbing/shedding games from Japanese designers as well as new games from US designers? Did you know NMI also helps select designers publish games through it's imprint Little Dog Games? newmillindustries.com

Ok this is kind of a big deal for me. As of today I am a designer (and developer) on BGG! boardgamegeek.com/boardgamedes...

Delivery day! Love this new deck with artwork by @saibep.bsky.social ! (even includes the extra cards needed to make a Tichu deck)

Got this tested tonight IRL and was told a very enthusiastic “this one has bones!” 🦴 So I feel confident this one is gonna move forward! Currently calling it “Fruit Smoothie” 🍌🍎🍇

Much of my process in the early stages of a new game design is simply moving pieces on a table, arranging and rearranging them until I get something that feels right for a pretend game I imagine in my head. 🎲✂️ Today I’m jamming on a new bluffing design and I’m HYPED! 🍌🍎🍇

Hot New Taiki! 😍🔥🫠 www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfaR...
