2 days!
I've started seeing people posting about my game after picking up copies at PAX Unplugged. It's a cool feeling!
When I took this pic at City Hall I reflected on the journey I'd taken through town that day, and the journey I've started as a game designer. Where will the road take me next?

3 days to Downtown Las Palmas!
The turquoise terracotta, the art deco style, and the grand 4-sided clock make the Eastern Columbia Building one of the most breathtaking structures in downtown LA!
Are you ready for @buttonshy.bsky.social's Black Friday sale?

I wanted a building that fit the shape of a wide card without any sky in it, but wasn't a boring box either. The NHM is one of my favorite museums ever! It isn't a perfect rectangle but was simple to adapt to this shape.

8 days to Downtown Las Palmas! (for real now)
The dragons of the Gateway Monument welcome you to Chinatown!
I had a card with a section of sky between 2 smaller buildings and wanted to pull different features from various shops and gardens, with the dragons as a central setpiece to set it all off.

9 more days...? until Downtown Las Palmas! (I'll fix the countdown later)
I love learning about the rich diversity in LA and how it's represented in its architecture. I wanted to reflect some of that in my game as well. This mosque is one of the few in town that has a minaret!

10 days to Downtown Las Palmas!
This is home to the LA branch of Hawk Anamorphic: When I saw the ivy-covered building on the train ride I knew I wanted it in my deck.
It took a bit of work to figure out how to translate a leafy building into a useable card, but we settled on this textured look.

The vibrant colors of this historic street had to take a back seat for players to understand which parts could score points, but I had fun adding little details to these store fronts that celebrate Mexican culture.

Today we have the Tower Theatre on Broadway. This card started out as a church when I first sketched it, but I had a 2nd church design so I looked for a building that would fit a similar silhouette. I liked this theatre's clock! Good for "The Times" bonus goal.

This is the Metro Headquarters Building at One Gateway Plaza. It was one of the first buildings I sketched when I came up with the idea for the game, you can't miss it when you're on the train to Union Station!
