I had the absolute pleasure of lecturing at the University of Maryland on Cirque to a group of aspiring game designers. No pictures because FERPA, but it was a blast! This month's newsletter will reflect on the experience and summarize some of the content.

Spent the end of the week drafting Ringleader cards, finally implementing some asymmetricality into the game. I'm comfortable enough with the game core to move into this next step, which I think adds a very important layer to the experience

Spent most of today working out the rudiments of Solo Mode. The irony is that I don't tend to play a lot of board games solo, but have been studying solo design to implement in Cirque and...it's apparently pretty fun!
