A digital solo prototype is now available for easier playtesting:

I'm just trying to make sure the gameplay flows as well as the river ;-)

Tabletop game setup for OBOLUS. Two illustrated cards are shown: one with a boat on a misty river and another representing a river modifier. Several black meeples representing Souls are arranged around the cards, with a single white meeple representing Charon the Ferryman.

First BGG Contest! β›΄οΈπŸ’€

I’ve entered OBOLUS, a 9-card game of brutal bidding, for 1-2 players

The Dilemma: Win boats for points or lose to recover the Souls you need to stay in the game. If you run out, the river swallows you

Seeking playtest feedback

I was invited to give a talk at a game design convention.
Then kindly told what a game design convention is.
Tables, playtests, designers.

Always nice to learn new things about your own field.

Mansplaining, anyone?

Exploring verticality in tabletop design.

In these prototypes, height is part of the system: kite-shaped pawns physically rise and fall, and a playable cardboard Ferris wheel turns elevation into information.

Curious to connect with designers working beyond flat boards.
