Spending time with incredible designers at a con always gets me so excited about the hobby and makes me bounce off the walls with new ideas.

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries
- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support
youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

Play and discuss as if you were friends trying to get to know each other better, rather than as if you were rival squawking merchants trying to sell competing goods in a marketplace. The world is full of friends and potential friends, and it's much lonelier and more frightening when it isn't.

Occasionally, heists go according to plan. Most times, though, they end up a bit more like this.
In Hit!, you play as a bunch of idiot space criminals trying to pull a Job. Shuffle up a deck of cards, think up a heist, and play it from start to finish — all in one hour, no prep required!

Oh this game is great, by the way! I had the pleasure of playtesting it and I loved the way the literal blackjack push-your-luck mechanic drives heist play forward; sometimes you know things are gonna go bad and you have to try anyway
