Christopher Chan- #BlackLivesMatter

I’m beginning my migration to The Other App. Will keep crossposting as long as there are people here I like, but I hope to see more of you there (or wherever the good game people land) when it comes time to cut the cord! bsky.app/profile/xopher…

Got a sneak peek preview copy of this upcoming book, teaching advanced math concepts through tabletop games. Seems right up my alley! taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.…

Just heard that tne Dicebreaker team is being mothballed. What a terrible, terrible waste of extremely talented people. I had such high hopes the site was going to be the entryway into the mainstream for our hobby. Thoughts with all those affected.

At 10 EST tonight I'll be joining @beneeta_k for a teach and playthrough of Stalk Exchange. Check it out here! m.twitch.tv/beneeta_k/home

The next Unpub Speed Pitching event will be IN PERSON at Origins Game Fair. This will be open for all styles of games (party, light, medium, heavy, storytelling, and rpg). Submission deadline is June 2nd. forms.gle/4Rzeg7EstqaPjB…

@gabtoschi @CardboardEdison Congrats!

What a ride! It's amazing to see a game of mine in an award like @CardboardEdison, specially in the Top 3! I'm really thankful for my co-designer and friend Yuri for the amazing partnership, for all the team and judges for the incredible feedback <3

@ObjetoJogo @CardboardEdison @gabtoschi Congrats!

Snowy Peaks, the world's first co-op ladder climbing game, is the first runner-up at the Cardboard Edison Award! Thank you Suzanne and Chris for this platform. Thank you judges for the precious feedback. Thank you to my friend and co-designer @gabtoschi for the partnership!

@DanThurot I’m really interested to get your take on peacemakers: horrors of war

It was an interesting week. Arborea Hand Games 21 A Gest of Robin Hood Slay the Spire Leviathan Wilds Murray the A**hole Frog Peacemakers: Horrors of War Tower Chess Burn the Fort AMA!

@AngryTetris Sorry for your loss.

Loved this cat for a wonderful 10 years. Had to say goodbye to her today. I'll miss you Totes.

Get ready for Stalk Exchange, our deceptively simple game of paper flowers and cutthroat investments, coming this summer! 🌷 #boardgames #tabletopgames

AHH! This is my game coming out at GenCon! I got a chance to fiddle with a preproduction copy of this last week and let me tell you, every component is a joy.

Hot take: I find most euro games, even "gateway," very difficult to learn for most people. You need to deconstruct the entire scoring matrix in order to understand your basic incentives. The core game loop is often "simple," but knowing what to do =/= knowing how to play.

It’s so nice to see Possums in a Trench Coat getting some love!

Game designers, let's settle this. What does "playtesting" mean?

@sumfatkid Smell was worse than the ihop chips but the taste was slightly better. Still not good.

@xopherchan And….?

@sumfatkid I thought I’d escaped the weird snacks when I got home. Then Jen handed me this:

I’m so excited for this! Get ready for some more derpy animals.

@Tiki___________ Reach out to our publisher, Smirk and Dagger. They’ll have more info.

@xopherchan How can I buy it for shipment to Chile? 😮‍💨

We’re in the last 48 hours of the Night Cage: Shrieking Hollow Kickstarter! It will eventually be in retail but you won’t be able to get the metal minis or chunky acrylic tiles as easily afterward. kickstarter.com/projects/smirk…

@SenFoongLim @TheUnpub That would be pretty rad. Next year maybe!

@xopherchan @TheUnpub All the titles combined made me think (and wish) you had a Bubblegum Crisis game.

I've got 3 Blocks at @TheUnpub . Fri from 5-9. Sat from 3-7, & Sun from 12-4. Here's what I'm testing: BUBBLEGUM BUBBLE An explosive introduction to stocks. TOO MANY CHRISES: I-cut-you-choose sudoku about seating wedding guests. STACK CRASH: What if Jenga was a train game?

I come back to crosspost a thing for visibility and I have to block bots within 1 minute of posting. This site is even worse than I remember.
