A link box on a store shelf that reads βMondo Llama create-your-own fantasy board game kitβ with a photo of hand drawn on board game pieces with a spinner, sand timer, hand drawn board and cards, colored markers and standees
A sheet from the kit showing a run down of included components as well as detailed steps on creating, prototyping and testing your game.
Walking through Target earlier and saw this board game design kit in the kids activities section and bought it out of curiosity. Shocked to find a sheet with decent advice on ideation, prototyping and playtesting in this $12 box of bits. π²βοΈ

If you are a tabletop game creator feeling discouraged about how many games are coming out each year, some perspective:

A 2-star review of Wrong Station that reads: Its got to be difficult to hold to a very high standard of quality year-in and year-out. And for years you guys pulled it off. Of late, I'm worried. The endless 10-year retrospective navel-gazing exercise foisted on listeners after months of a very loooong summer off was a big ask, and not what we came here for. Long breaks, lower-quality material, and excuses are bad signs. Thirteen and Ghost in the Burbs lost me this way, and I don't want that to happen at the Wrong Station too."
Just saw this 2-star review someone left for the show and initially it annoyed me. But now, I'm realizing it's an exceptional example of what consumerism has done to the arts and those who consume them. I want to point out a couple of things.
Alive and well!
Vibes outside the goth function tonight
Life hack: watch scary movies whenever
Cards on a table featuring rough prototype art of stick figures walking in the rain outside of windows. Each person is wearing or holding one of 5 items players are trying to acquire for scoring.
Heard about @buttonshy.bsky.socialβs 18 Card Cozy Game Challenge and figured Iβd throw a prototype together.
My current idea is a simple drafting game where you play as siblings stuck inside on a rainy day watching people walk by the windows. Still figuring it out but I think I like it?π€ π²βοΈ
I mean if weβre talking regular ass potato chips hell no but cheese ruffles or salt and vinegar kettle chips? Thatβs a hell yeah for me
This tracks:
A big wooden table where 3 players are removing plastic gems from gold mint tins and adding them up for scoring. Each player has three face up scoring cards in front of them. Thereβs a small notebook and pen in the corner. One player is using their phone to add up points.
Got great feedback on my loot-splitting game the other night. Scoring is broken but the basic loop is fun. Excited for the next playtest π²βοΈ
New episode of my super short horror audio drama anthology is up!
Need to test with more than 2 players to see if it works but Iβm definitely preferring this super light area control version over the previous set collection version.
Dice placed below cards depicting theme park ride types.

Decided to take points out of my wip theme park game. Currently you roll and place dice to snag the first ride of each attraction which places you on the board. Win conditions include being the first to visit each area, ride all the rides in one area or ride four connected rides. π²βοΈ
Well the game seems to work somewhat so ultimately productive!
Currently this is a game about about riding theme park rides. Itβs sort of dice placement/drafting game where your goal is to claim the first ride on as many unique rides as you can.
A picture of game bits inside a small box. Thereβs dice, cards and pawns of various colors.
Had an idea Thursday and by Saturday I had a quick 2 player playtest. Really trying to βget the ideas out of my head and onto the tableβ as fast as I can. π²βοΈ
Had a very constructive first real playtest of my flip and write spooky hotel game on Friday. Needs work but I think itβs got legs π²βοΈ
I'm running a game jam for creating games that can be printed on the back, top, and side of cereal boxes to make breakfast time more entertaining. I'm expecting some interesting layouts in the submissions!

Messing around in Logic early this morning. I have so many of these little dumb song loops on my hard drive.
