Hello, my name is Chris, and I have a problem...
Already told my family I don't want any new games for Xmas (except Pacts), so hopefully this is close to the peak.

I've been working on a Texas Hold 'Em based game that revolves around auctioning poker prop bets rather than betting on the best hand. Here's the list of my prop bets so far. Any fun ideas I'm missing?
Note: supplement cards are a second deck that you can draft from to augment your hand.

Had a lovely week, even if it didn't go totally as expected. What did you get to the table?

I'm down to about 30 copies of Venusian Vegas The Card Game (from 100 printed)! Let me know if you'd like one before they're gone.
Remaining copies of games featured at the Indie Games Night Market at PAX Unplugged, like Houdini's Last Act, are starting to pop up online. Be sure to keep a lookout for them here and wherever else their designers tend to hang out, or you might miss them forever!
We just sent an announcement to our newsletter subscribers: The remaining 20 copies of Houdini's Last Act are now available on our website! cardboardedison.com/houdini

This is my daughter Addison and she drew the characters for Venusian Vegas. I wanted her at my #PAXU booth, but she gets overwhelmed with crowds and noise so she chose to stay home instead. I love having her art in my game and since she wasn't at the market I wanted to recognize her here. 🥰🥰🥰

Love seeing Venusian Vegas out in people's hands 🥰
So here is my final haul from PAXU minus the 4 games I couldn't fit in my luggage but are getting shipped to me. The games missing are Mythical Dice, Covenant, Phoenix New Horizon, and Unmatched Vol 1. Also there are two games that were bought as gifts for friends. 20 games purchased overall for me

Indie Games Market last night was a rousing success!!!!
WOW. I’m so impressed by all of the vendors organization and skill.
I’m sure we’ll be able together get stats from the PAX team, but this year definitely felt way bigger 🧵 🎲✂️

I sincerely hope people will check out this year's Indie Games Night Market at Pax Unplugged! I covered nine of the games that will be featured there, each of which has something to recommend it. With any luck, some of them will be picked up by publishers or continue to be sold by their creators.
@danthurot.bsky.social returning from last year has done incredible write-ups of so many of the games that will be available at the market!
Dan has an uncanny ability to capture the very spirit of the things he critiques.
We’re so so lucky to have such a skilled writer on our backs!!
