while i’m at it, i’ve painted the castillo

the meeple tower from el grande, a 3d cardboard cube tower. the edges of the cardboard are painted with acrylic markers to match the brick and shrubbery colors on the art

bonus: the original print had visible facial features, in my attempt to sand down layer lines i destroyed his face and crown. tried to repair them using green stuff and he totally looked a muppet for a bit

the same printed miniature wit mostly gray colored with pronounced sculpted eyes nose and crown in green

It's weird to think that nighttime is the natural state of the universe and daytime is only caused by a nearby, radiating ball of flame.

opened sanibel’s rulebook and it starts with this nice dedication. are there any other “non-serious” board games that do that?

[the first page of sanibel’s (board game) rulebook. a small passage in front of a top-view watercolor illustration of a beach with footsteps and a couple of beach chairs]

“This game is for my father Paul, a lover of nature in all its beauty and an insatiable hunter of shark teeth. He was the one who suggested a game about collecting seashells, and it makes me so happy that we were able to play my prototype of Sanibel shortly before he died. True to form, he had the most shark teeth at the end of the game.

another game that was loved not by me personally but by the community as a whole is secret hitler. my copy was handled so much it looks like it’s actually from world war ii. i wouldn’t be surprised if a thousand different hands touched this game

policy tiles of secret hitler. the colors are worn out and faded, and there are multiple black spots where the printed layer was knicked off

over the years i have made 3 custom whiteboard designs for wolfgang warsch’s subtext, a game that is not remotely remarkable to anyone outside of my play group upon making the 4th version, i’m considering not doing anything special. just emulating how the game was played out of the box with paper

subtext in play. the custom made whiteboards follow the graphic design of the game itself, and have the player colors and icons to identify the author of each

partial view of subtext’s board, next to it is a simple blank magnetic whiteboard cut to a small rectangle. on the whiteboard is a detailed but very crude drawing of a hand doing the vulcan salute (as a clue to scifi)

did not end up trying it last night. unfortunately couldn’t get people to commit to neither cosmic bilogy (frog and encounter) nor a sid sackson twofer (acquire and i’m the boss)

made a double-sided hotel size tracker and price board for acquire. really happy with how it turned out

nothing makes me want to cancel a kickstarter pledge more than this (non-japanese) japanese-themed game where they start all their updates with “Konnichiwa”

the board in action, printed on six panels of thick cardboard

ios screenshot, “homophobically” is marked as a spelling error and the suggested replacement is “homophobic ally”
