It's raining! So I get to cut out a lot of board game pieces and then playtest the game! Yay.

I mean, I was going to do that anyway, but..

I'm spending today cutting out bits of cardboard. I turned fifty three this year.

I have soooo much cutting out to do! Each iteration of a board game requires new numbers, sometimes entirely redesigned pieces. Mostly I just scribble over the old numbers and then run the playtest again, but I'm heading to next month. I'll need my games to look a little more presentable. There are four I'm currently iterating, and another three at the pitch stage.

Would you like to be friends? Been updating one of my board game designs with some simplification and refreshing the artwork. This one is Heian Kyo, set it the proposed capital of the Heian period in Japan. It's a game about making friends and retiring in comfort.

Excellent playtest at Incubator Melbourne yesterday! It makes such a difference to playtest with actual designers, rather than with members of the public. Getting that strong feedback can really help actually develop the idea. This, of course, often involves a major rework.

Great play test for Bronze! I will still need to tweak the numbers but the game play is rock solid. So much variety possible in the grid!

Sent off another iteration of After the Storm to officeworks. I'm hoping to get to play test this with my local group on NYE game day.

My farms now have more than one type of grain, solving the five grain into four slots problem.
