Got some new designs tested last night .. KY Blackjack, which is a bidding and bluffing game; went great just need to figure out the end game condition .. Londonium, which is kinda a speed version of Puerto Rico (apparently); didn’t have enough tension but I have some ideas to iterate on 🎲✂️

Tested out a new resource acquisition system tor Mouse Pad that uses mazes .. It worked really well, just need to clean up some UI .. Also, tried a new filler called 5th Street which a drafting and score builder in the vein of Arboretum but more approachable 🎲✂️

On the way to @unpub.bsky.social the other week, I designed a game called Mouse Pad where you are a mouse decorating your pad and your player board is a mouse pad 😀 It is also my first tetromino design .. Got it to the table and things mostly worked but need to adjust the economy and recipe costs 🎲✂️

Some more testing this week .. 12 for $0.01 has players joining a BMG style tape club only to be forced to later buy overpriced tapes .. Worked really well just need to tweak the economy a bit .. Harmonia is about hiring a nymph army using a bump draft; goal cards need completely rebuilt 🎲✂️

Finally got to test Red Riichi !! .. We didn’t use all the rules as the testers were new to Mahjong .. It is doing what I wanted it to do with one exception that I need to think more about .. Also squeezed in a quick game of 5 Star Fusion that has been tweaked to be Family weight 🎲✂️

Play test of an updated Quantum Loop. A trick taking game based on the movie Source Code. Players cooperatively try to solve a murder, slowly gaining more information each loop. 🎲✂️ First approach failed but we played again and solved it this time around!!

Play testing recap: Tweaks to Backdraft went well; happy with where it’s at .. 3p only drafting tricker The Sign of 3 was very interesting and needs more plays .. Players asked to end with Yuansu again; sooo much fun! .. Jokes led to breaking out Numberwang to close the night 🤣🤣 🎲✂️
