"It should be no surprise that this game is a bit different to other games you may have previously played, given it was designed by the wonderful Bez Shahriari."

A great article from Ellie Dix about getting the most from a boardgame playtest.
(And thanks for the wee shout-out, @EllieDixTweets!)

This is one of my favourite photos.
Pure joy, partially facilitated by me.
I mean, sure it's about the other people around the table. About the ambiance. Having suitable clothes for the temperature. But the game does make a difference imo. :-p

It's so rare for me to get a picture taken of me playing games, and at a work thing recently my boss took this picture of me playing @stuffByBez's Yogi. This is pretty much my face when playing most board games, which leads me to conclude I'm in the right hobby!

Validation
A sense of purpose
Intellectual curiousity
Love of the medium
Money
Fame
Collaboration.
Wanting X to exist.
I want to facilitate fun, or spark someone to ponder, or sometimes just see how something works.
Some stuff I will design with a more commercial mindset.

ICYMI:
I like this comic.
Honestly, sometimes it's just cool to know a comic artist (occasionally) engages with one of your other passions.

To me, this evokes memories of the Moomins. Relatively simple art leaves spaces for our imagination to fill in the gaps.
But aesthetically, these colours are LUSH.
And I also love how the colours are used to draw our eye to the centre of the frame.

I need to hold onto these reminders that I have managed to indirectly spark joy and facilitate fun.
That makes me feel proud and super-validated. :-)

Had an absolutely silly & fun time with Yogi by @stuffByBez. You draw a card, follow the instructions (usually related to a pose you must maintain), and keep going round and round adding more instructions to follow until everyone breaks except one. Thanks for the fun game Bez!

Would you pay a negligible amount of money to play something I made?
Unoriginal rules.
New content.
Pushed to the limit for a special friend who knows the silliness I'm capable of and trusted me to make something cool.
4-9 players?
To be played over a multi-hour dinner event.

"Last Bug Standing in the Circle of Doom! is a great 2-player abstract strategy game that’ll keep you coming back for more."
"It’s a really delicious challenge that tickles parts of my brain that other games certainly don’t."

I love this. Not just the execution of the illustration (lovely colours/lines) but also I think I intrinsically love the concepts where we are shown a relatable humanoid with a very different perspective (e.g. very small).

@pissvortex Um, this isn't my job.
But yeah, I am feeling sad and vaguely suicidal.
But if you genuinely want to ask the US UN rep, I don't think that an 'open letter' on Twitter is likely to reach them. :-/

@BigGirlGames1 Wow, I had no idea!
Btw, it's been a while! Are you on BGA? BS?

@stuffByBez Since I literally lost every game I ever played with you, I wouldn’t care - I just enjoyed your company! 💕
English
@stuffByBez Lose — it gives me a chance to grow and develop, and measure my relative success.
I’d also like playing the other one as long as you have an equivalent mindset; I.e., I can see you’re having fun trying to inch closer to victory.
English
@D_J_Cherry I kinda agree. But if the game is serving no purpose other than bringing us together, why not converse, watch a film, or do anything else?
IMO the game needs some 'purpose' within the context of our continued time together. :-)
English
@stuffByBez I would always pick a game a can play with you. Winning or losing doesn’t matter, it’s spending time with friends that’s the important thing
