Conviction by @xoe.gay is now available.

A stable stalwart and an intrepid idealist vowed to live in harmony forever. But now, the two find themselves in a grim quarrel.

You must decide if they cooperate, separate, or one dominates the story of their lives.

I don't know how to introduce this one. After three titles about opium peddling, I figured the rest of SDHistCon would be breezy by comparison. I was wrong. The next day, I experienced one of the toughest board games I've ever played. Perhaps *the* toughest. spacebiff.com/2025/11/24/u...

You can play this with a regular set of double six dominoes.
I enjoyed the spatial blocking you’re able to execute in this clever tactical abstract game.

I hate hearing my own voice and this was recorded as fast as possible so I would just get it done, but it’s the full teach!

“It’s like Ameritrash trick-taking”

This is surreal because I’ve loved Joel’s videos ever since I first got into the hobby. Seeing that he really understood what the game was going for and had fun with it is just so cool.

Hand drawing all these beans was a blast. Honestly surprised people have been enjoying my artwork. Never really considered myself capable of doing such a thing before, but Joe posed the idea to me and I thought it could be my wheelhouse to draw a bunch of stinky cartoony beans. 😆
The Midnight Market ends today, and it's your last chance to head over to get some of these cool indie games.

While you're heading over, check out this cool little unboxing video of Tootin' & Hollerin', by Joe Kell.

Microfishing is a 2-player fishing game based on Escoba where you'll play cards from hand to capture fish from the Lake (the table). As long as the played card and the Lake card(s) add to 18, you'll capture them! Rules and a print-ready PDF are linked below.
