Kristin and Leila had fun playing a physical dexterity game from way back in the 70's: Gnip Gnop. The rubber bands that make the paddles springy had practically disintegrated, but that didn't stop them from having a lot of fun! What have you been playing? #WhatDidYouPlayMondays

Gnip Gnop written above a photo of Leila playing the game of the same name with the game box and the ball throwing game on a wooden table with 5 colorful pawns and two white dice at the bottom left next to What Did You Play Mondays on a blue to purple ombre background with light alternating dice and pawn outlines

Thank you so much, Jordan! That is really kind of you to say. So many folks have used Pyramid Arcade to make their own game designs that we have a place for those folks to share them even: looneypyramids.wiki/wiki/Main_Page

If you are a game designer of any kind, board game, ttrpg, video game, whatever… you really owe it to yourself to get a copy of Pyramid Arcade. Not only does it come with a ton of great games, it is the single greatest sandbox for design imaginable.

It’s one game that will never leave my collection

Did you know Lunar Invaders is adapted from Cosmic Coasters, a game Andy designed to be played in a bar with coins for game pieces, boards printed on drink coasters, & Rock-Paper-Scissors for combat resolution? 15 years later, he adapted it to Lunar Invaders! Have you played yet?

Tim & Alex pulled an old copy of Cathedral by Mattel off the shelf at game night recently. They enjoyed the the very satisfying aesthetics of this classic as they strategized in this abstract city-builder. What are your favorite classic tabletop games? #WhatDidYouPlayMondays
