@saibep.bsky.social has sold all of her copies of Trifle. I am so glad that our team-up worked out for her. Thank you, Sai.

Here is someone playing 0-2, 0-3, 0-4; a suited run in the zero suit. It became the zero suit because they chose to turn the tiles to make it the zero suit.

It's real! Thank you @saibep.bsky.social

Trifle cards by @saibep.bsky.social. Coming to the Tokyo Game Market in May 2026.

Trifle cards, 0 to 5 in the Hearts suit. Shows a white stout with a blue kerchief filling a bowl with cream, cake, and strawberries. Higher numbers have more filling in the bowl.

The 0 and 1 of Diamonds, Spades, and Clubs. The Diamonds have a Bear in an orange chef's hat and kerchief. The Spades have a squirrel in a balck hat and kerchief. The Clubs have a deer in a white hat and apron.

The Trife Queen cards: Strawberry, Banana, Blueberry, and Kiwi. The Trifle card back. The Trifle scoring card has a spoon and animals.

Here is the colour draft.

x.com/allotment31/... @saibep.bsky.social has sketched out what the cards will look like for "Trifle". "[WIP] Rough sketches for the cards. The hearts suit is the stoat. I'm working on it towards submission by the end of the year. I want to draw it all at once in one day and finish it up quick."

7 slim cards, 0 to 5 plus one Queen, in the hearts suit. Each card shows a sketch of an ermine in a chef's clothing preparing a strawberry trifle. Text lists which animals and fruits will feature in the other suits. It is very cute.

And now the Japanese edition is also coming out.

Took a moment to look at the recommended player count poll for Haggis on BGG. Have the people who marked "Not Recommended" for 4p actually played the game at 4p? I think that is the BEST player count. But what do I know?

Sean Ross@seandavidross· Nov 16

So, apparently this is out now. In Korea.

Getting designer copies is like Christmas. Getting copies of the other games from your Kickstarter? Even better. Thanks, Allplay! (are they on here yet?)

7 copies of Bacon plus Mori, Lunar, and Pies from Allplay.

30+, when you include collaborations. I would say only 5 or 6 are on the front burner (actively being considered or worked on) at any time.
