broken mirror sounds 😍😍😍
A spread of cards with a computer-programming aesthetic featuring big numbers. This game, titled "If/Else," will be on the table in the 1:30-4:30 block.
A closeup of a prototype card reading "Causing Problems," an apt description of the playtester's role. The other picture of this game has the details.
Four tiny rats and a larger wizard figurine on a grid board. This game, "Rat Chase," is an asymmetric game that adapts the opening scene of Ratatouille. It will be on the table in the 10AM-1PM slot.
A spread of paper tiles with meeples and poker chips sitting on some of them. This game is "Broken Mirror," which is Clue meets Betrayal at House on the Hill -- deduction plus chaotic silly nonsense in a haunted house. This game will be on the table in the 10AM-1PM slot.
HU student-designed games are back on @unpub.org tables today from 10AM-4PM! #PAXU #🎲✂️ The students had a great day of testing yesterday and are back at it again. See alt text for each game's pitch and when it will be on the table.
Indie Games Night Market is our FAVE event!! We hope you all get to check it out 😍
A plush Blüdle mascot holds the Panda meeple.
Yay! It's my pal Blüdle from @unpub.org! Together again. #paxunplugged
thanks for making the long journey to see us! 😂😂😍😍
