Haven’t played before, curious about the new mechanisms in some of those playsets!

I mean the 2p game needs more tension. 4p just needs some love to the cards!

Got a 2p test of Rough Roads in. It’s in better shape than I thought, but needs more tension.

Bought @csecooney.bsky.social and Carlos “Too Cool for BlueSky” Hernandez’ Negocios Infernales, which posits the scenario: what if Spanish Inquisition, but aliens! I playtested it years ago, and it was ridiculously fun.

Bought @mythworks.bsky.social’s CBR+PNK, a streamlined cyberpunk one-shot based on Blades. Yesterday’s megagame ran that system, and I was impressed at how it handled so much with so few rules.

Bought @stonemaiergames.com’s Rolling Realms, and an embarrassing number of expansions.
I’d love to cook up some RR cards for some of my games soon.

Bought @cardboardedison.com’s Houdini, but didn’t get a chance to try it yet. Hopefully next week!

I also played @davidgordon23.bsky.social’s 2p trick-taker Pyrrhic, which I was lucky enough to suggest the name for. It’s quite good.

* Met up with an NHRL builder. Worlds collide! Showed one of them Wordsy.
* Bumped into some folks packing up The Networks. They were big fans of mine. The flattery! I got Ferret Frenzy in front of them. The turn-based version is getting close to done.

* Played Tax the Rich, a wonderful little trick taking game with a well-implemented theme and lots of optional rules once you master the base game.
* Playtested a friend’s game. Happy to help his game keep growing.
