Murder, She Crows is coming to kickstarter in October! Uses a triangle deck with set collection for scoring #BoardGames www.kickstarter.com/projects/rol...
#CraftWednesday continuing to work on the cyberpunk deckbuilder. I’m just making it look cool so when I do get around to playing it I’ll feel like it’s more “done”
#CraftWednesday I had a new idea, what if there was a deck building game that used the idea of Mega Man and how the player gets abilities that they can use to improve against certain enemies. The player can gain the card or destroy the card. Also the theme is cyberpunk so leads away from MM
#CraftWednesday in @jacksonpope.bsky.social honor! This week we launched the girls’ next game Pegasus and Palaces! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rol...
#CraftWednesday I started thinking about a new idea for a mining game using a standard deck of cards. Possibly some worker placement and using the cards to do the actions. Not sure if it’s a thing since it’s just a scribble
#CraftWednesday Starting to update the Squad Goals cards. I think I’m close. The gain 3, lose 3 loop was a little bit repetitive so I was looking at options to help disrupt that
Y’all it’s hot out! The best way to beat the heat is to be cool & play games! August is going to be hot! Get fiery little card game that plays solo or more: Towering Inferno is $1! PnP copies to share with friends, keep them cool while you battle fires together! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rol...
#CraftWednesday Continuing my pursuit of funding college for my girls. Towering Inferno: Fire Rescue is live over on Kickstarter. I also finished the cards for Mixtape this week, proud of that accomplishment
#CraftWednesday I think I landed the Schrödinger Cat idea after many years of attempts. Goal: keep cat alive until all rounds over. If 1 food and 1 cat are up, cat is alive. If all cats are turned over or poison remains then cat is unalived
#CraftWednesday has been so many things! I’m really excited about 2 pending things. This other thing, Mixtape Mastery, is a card compare game, then collecting and sorting the cards to make the best mixtape with flow from song to song
#CraftWednesday I finished the cards for Boutique!! Even printed them!
#CraftWednesday! I have been pouring a huge amount of time and effort into Boutique and I love it. I don’t know if I’ll bother with TGC for this one, probably just print and play. It’s been fun to push my ideas to a whole different area than they usually go
#CraftWednesday! Reel and Write is looking to hook an audience over on crowdfunding! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rol...
#CraftWednesday Planning ahead for projects. This is for Chris Backe’s game coming up in February. I updated Boutique, but haven’t taken pictures of those updates
This makes me feel so sad. And here I am with a single peach tree in my front yard and I give away most of those peaches to neighbors, friends, family, people walking by, delivery folks. Anyway, here’s a pic of a few peaches I harvested yesterday and and some plums
#CraftWednesday finally got a prototype together for Boutique. It needs values and such on it and lots of playtesting, but at least it’s starting to come together!
Switchy-Witchy is almost done! Tuesday at 12:30pm my time the potions will be drank and the witches will fly off on their brooms! Get in while you still can for the print and play which is only available now. #boardgames www.kickstarter.com/projects/rol...
One week to go on Switchy-Witchy. This is the only chance to get the print and play option. I hope you’ll check out this potion making game based on rummy mechanisms: www.kickstarter.com/projects/rol... #BoardGames
Played those one. It was the twins first time playing a game with a lot of “take-that” and the first play was not fun. The second play was better, but only just. (It was their idea to play it a second time). They were also not amused by the lesser amount of women characters
#CraftWednesday we launched Switchy-Witchy this week. Very excited that I’ve gotten to publish so many games this year the girls worked on. 3 more coming up from them. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rol...
#CraftWednesday It’s late spring so I’m prepping a game for February. It’s a Chris Backe game, he makes cool stuff and I’m excited for folks to get their hands on this one. It’s a write then pass game. Very clever
Today’s icebox pie was pineapple. I think the liquid was too much, maybe needs to be cooked down. We ended up mixing a tub of cool whip into it. It made it more like an ice cream cake when we stuck it in the freezer to set up. @425suzanne.bsky.social #Pie
#CraftWednesday I thought about this idea this week some more. I’d like to get it going because it could be really cool. I just haven’t yet. Maybe now that Rapids Race is done
Rapids Race is racing rapidly to the end! Check out this high-low guessing game that can play tons of players, is super portable, and will help you make a splash! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rol...
#CraftWednesday I finished the art (finally) for Whiskey Radio Foxtrot. I need to finish the rules and then this one will be in the publishing queue. I love how this game works and how it looks. It’s been a real labor of love
Rapids Race your new favorite high-low game is now on Kickstarter! Grab the files exclusively on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rol...
#CraftWednesday Finished up Skeleton Shuffle for @aaronkempkes.bsky.social so it will be the October game. It’s super fun and has been cool to really stretch out my skills a little more
Played Azul with both twins. Well it was not much of a surprise to my wife, but Tavi who usually doesn’t love a majority of games (same, girl). She really liked Azul and absolutely stomped all of us into the ground. #BoardGames
