Blue Box Game Designs

@StartPlayer @wisegoldfish My codesigner and I think about that all the time. A lot of the great old games would probably be deemed as being too random or not having a strong enough hook. But games like Lost Cities and 6 Nimmt still get heavy play for a reason

@wisegoldfish Weirdly I was thinking about this game and other older ones. What comments would I get if I took it to a play test group!

For those out there who have played Lost Cities, what do you think of it? I've played it a lot over the last 10 years, but more recently I feel like between 2 evenly matched players, the game is decided by the deck (i.e. your opponent getting more 9/10s) - am I missing something?

@ArkAngel_Games We think it went really well. Great turnout (about 12 people). Tested 6 games and everyone remained in good spirits. Definitely do it again!

It's Blue Box Games Day. Time to test some physical prototypes with some non-gamers and have some fun!

Playtesting some changes to our bluffing roll & write, You Snake.

@GleesonGames Your feedback and contribution has been invaluable, Glee. As always

I've been having so much fun playtesting this game. Lots of laughs!

Playtesting the co-op party #game we've been working on based on linking concepts with written clues.

Bid day for @BlueBoxDesigns today as two of our game pitches resulted in requests for prototypes. We've been working really hard on our games so it's lovely to get these moments of encouragement.

@perryjon @CardboardEdison How do you approach it, Jon? Air, Land & Sea is beautifully balanced. Did you have a particular approach you used? And did the small size of the game make it easier/harder for you?

@WoosungGames Gloomhaven was a godsend for my wife and I during lockdown over the past 12-18 months!

@WoosungGames I'm a big fan of Lost Cities, Jaipur, and Jekyll Vs Hyde. I'd also say that Gloomhaven is best with 2p.

We're thrilled to announce our very own Joel Kennedy has made the finals with his coop deduction micro game, Double Jeopardy.

As always, we were blown away by the incredible creativity of the board game design community! Thank you to everyone who entered, our judges, sponsors, and everyone else who helps make the #CardboardEdisonAward possible! We can't wait to play all the finalists!!!

@mattwolfe @CardboardEdison Absolutely! Certainly Ra and Lost Cities by Knizia. El Grande. 7 Wonders (7 player strategy game in 30 mins!), and Coloretto.

@lgerrrlach @thegamecrafter Good luck! Looks great

I'm thrilled that Isle of Mystery is one of the finalists in the #SmallBoxChallenge I'm very pleased with how this game design continues to improve and am looking forward to seeing where it goes from here. @thegamecrafter #prototype #boardgames #gamedesign

@BlueRoomBG How's it been going, Alex? Any big changes?

#Thebrigade second addition - #playtesting playtesting playtesting playtesting playtes.....

@KevMeeple High Society. Then Ra and Lost Cities

@cheveedodd @ex1stgames I think there's already a Squirrel Away in production too: boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3342…

@ex1stgames I think there's already a game with that title. 😥

Need a title for a game. Casual/family 4-6 players. Squirrels gathering nuts for the winter. I just keep coming up with semi-perverted titles. I want more of a mass-market title.

@BlueRoomBG @mirrafire Hit me up if you need a playtester!

Updated #prototype in #TTS #Plots is developing nicely Great collaboration with @mirrafire
