The Seahorse & The Hummingbird 🔜 Unpub

Broccoli and Sulfur Pizza I like small games. No, smaller. Smaller. Small enough that I can fit at least three of them in my hand at once, comfortably, without even stretching. Today we’re looking at three such titles…

Pyrotechnics is fun. Hey, don't take my word for it. I'm biased. But @danthurot.bsky.social? His word, you can... take it for. 🤷

Read his wonderful and insightful review of Pyrotechnics (and a couple other cool #boardgames).

A top-down layout of the prototype board game Threed. In the middle is a 4x4 grid of mix-n-match cards, surrounded by two card decks and three hands of twelve cards fanned out.

A close-up of twelve cards fanned out with a partial view of a 4x4 grid of cards blurry in the background. This is from the prototype board game, Threed.

Unpub prototype number two is complete. Threed is a trick-taking game like you've never seen before, by @rollplusfun.bsky.social. A trick-taking, sliding puzzle, match three game.

I probably should have made this one third.

Today I look at three tiny card games: Pizza Roles, Pyrotechnics, and Don't Botch the Broccoli. Oh, and none of them are trick-takers! Read about them here: spacebiff.com/2026/03/10/p...

Hansa Teutonica!

I've had the best day. Sometimes, people are awesome.

A Screentop.gg prototype of the board game Threed. Four hands of cards with ten cards each and a 4x4 grid of art cards in the center.

I stalled for a long time in getting Threed prepared for playtesting, but lately I've been banging it out. I'm not sure what clicked. The art still needs some love; the lighting, coloration and density all look off. But now I'm in the flow of it. Continuous, happy progress.

A screenshot of a portion of a photograph of a t-shirt that shows a stylized band name, "Cognitive Load."

My meager contribution was the band name Cognitive Load.

You may have already seen this. Sharing because it's vaguely related (but not otherwise helpful to your quest).

Nine purple cards, numbered one through nine, with purple hexagons arranged for the art.

Pyrotechnics was a delightful distraction, but it's time to turn my burning eye back to Threed.

I might up and make a standard deck of playing cards in this style. I'm not entirely sure how I'd do face cards, though.

Sometimes, it's difficult to be patient.

What's the Plan? - The Seahorse and The Hummingbird 2025 was for laying some foundations. 2026 is for growth and learning. And more foundations.

A new (and lengthy) journal entry that peeks back on the past and outlines ideas for the future. What will 2026 hold for The Seahorse & The Hummingbird? I dunno. But I have a whole layout of plans ready to fall apart.

#boardgames #business #2026
