Nayakas by TTGDA member andydgames.bsky.social is a worker placement game for 2–4 players and works to capture the spirit of India’s feudal kingdoms after the fall of the Vijayanagara Empire through simple yet strategic gameplay.

We played a three player game of Century Spice Road.
I lost and it was a terrible loss. The scores ended 67-65-37.

Fun game though :)

Yes! I've heard good things about v2. Hopefully, I can play quicker that I did the original.

Played Parks finally! It's a game that I always placed right where I could see it on my shelf, and I took it with me whenever I attended meetups, and after nearly three years, I played it today! Finished with a respectable score of 35.

Love seeing Tycoon India in your collection.
I managed to play Parks today. It was on my shelf of shame for nearly three years.

I did a small printrun of Vibes, a game about helping art students find a group they vibe with, and I'm looking to see who I ought to send review copies too. I've never sought out reviewers before and I don't want to go on Facebook which is where everyone tells me to go.

I used thermocol foam to create player boards for my prototype of Daily Bread.

How do you create your board protos?

Played: In Boitas, a 2-4 player trick-taking game from Sidhant Chand & Kheo Games, you try to win import goods at ports each round, while picking up cowrie shells as well to buy additional cards, which can be worth points or grant special abilities.

The concept proposal for Goa Kranti was submitted today. That was the first deliverable of the #zenobiaaward. If we don't progress then that would be it.

Andy D @andydgames.bsky.social · Dec 30

I didn't download any new pics and the energy is great. :)

Andy D @andydgames.bsky.social · Dec 27

And just like that Baked with Love, my bread delivery game, is being playtested a lot! 4 playtests in 48 hours. Would have loved to be at a con and get more tests.
