52 Pickup Studios 🎲🃏♟️
@52pickupstudios
duo creating new original tabletop games every month from New Zealand 🇳🇿 Our games use stuff you already own! 40+ original games on Patreon part of the 52 Pickup zine series patreon.52pickupstudios.com
Playing some Warcraft wrath of lich king (basically Warcraft pandemic) tonight, victory for the first game! #boardgame
Our latest party game, Flagrant, comes with free game sheets for designing your flag and for quick references. We’re experimenting with new ways to make key rules more visible to players around the table, preventing the need to constantly bring up and flick through the rulebook during gameplay.
To do something special for our 40th issue (and because we couldn't decide between blue & purple) we're using this very unique card stock for our hand made game zines! Love how they look like shiny trading cards. Pick one up by joining our Patreon or finding us at a market in New Zealand.
What games are in the free collection right now? Well... we've got: - Tinhorn Tell - The Black Spot & Captain Seven's Doubloons - Sentience - Guinea Pig Baseball - Dust Highway
We couldn't fit this into the zine template, so we've published the 2-player rules for Tinhorn Tell for FREE! Tinhorn Tell is a card drafting game for 2-7 where players pass hands of cards, picking one to build a poker hand. patreon.52pickupstudios.com/posts/tinhorn-tell-two-163396554
We love physical games so much that we: - make the zine templates available for you to print and fold at home - post our tabletop game zines all around the globe - let you download and keep everything forever! Keep analogue alive!
Teaser for our new game, releasing soon... Any guesses? #indiegame #tabletop
The real decision is between winning and staying friends... #boardgames #tabletop #cardgames
Looking for a TTRPG that's about goblin goodness, base defence, and is great for one shots? Why not try Goblin Dungeon the TTRPG, FREE for the remainder of this month! patreon.52pickupstudios.com/posts/52-pickup-issue-159545453 #TTRPG #indiegame
I did this a couple of months ago with Shroom Splicers, that aims to capture the feeling of a TCG or CCG combat while only playing with a standard deck of cards. 2/3 🧵 www.52pickupstudios.com/games/shroom-splicers
Played my first game of Trench Crusade, and a 6 player game at that! Came tied second but no before three of my New Antioch soldiers were defeated in 1 Praetor’s activation. #tabletop
