Just submitted my second game to the #pftf2023 design jam: José Garcia Saves the Alhambra. It's a solitaire push-your-luck game. All you need is a regular deck of cards and one six-sided die to play. Would love to get feedback on this game! https://itch.io/jam/postcards-from-the-front/rate/1988897 @HissyCatStudio #wargames (wargame adjacent?) #boardgames 1/

And entry #20 for #pftf2023 🙌 The German forces have damaged a communication line from the Russian outpost to their HQ. You must repair it while avoiding German attacks! https://itch.io/jam/postcards-from-the-front/rate/1911680 #wargames #boardgames @HissyCatStudio

It is weekend again. There's time aplenty to check and try some of the games.

Entry #18 for the #pftf2023 design jam - and our first designer to submit *three* games. 🙌 La Cancion: a two-player game that reenacts the Battle of Roncevaux. 👉 https://itch.io/jam/postcards-from-the-front/rate/1893710 #wargames #boardgames @HissyCatStudio

#pftf2023
Unsure if I will be able to close a second project in time but is getting shape.
Using D12 as the base die shape and intended to work as a double blind with die results combo, not hidden counters, as both sides will see a roll result but not the tactical spread matrix.

#pftf2023
A few changes addressed from feedback.
- Casualty counters removed; changed to any external method ( D6 recommended in rules ).
- Added additional counters for Stabilised.
- Bastogne label added. Image changed.
- no rules changes

Upload to jam page later today.

#17 for the #pftf2023 design jam: Scouting Mini-Game. Each scout is assigned the mission of traversing the game board to the enemy baseline, with the goal of gaining a view of the enemy’s main force. 👉 https://itch.io/jam/postcards-from-the-front/rate/1873715 #wargames #boardgames @HissyCatStudio

It's been a couple weeks since I looked at the #pftf2023 page. And, wow! We're now at 59 participants for the game design jam! Can we hit 60 by the end of January? Who has a friend with a game idea? @HissyCatStudio 👉 https://itch.io/jam/postcards-from-the-front/entries #wargames #boardgames

#PFTF2023 update!

Made a little progress on Charlie Dozen vs. The World - I have an outline, but nothing real to show yet. Need to build the event table. Not sure I'm how I'm going to fit this on a postcard...

So of course I have another postcard game idea - Pursuit of the Blue Giant. This is from an operation in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam where the Zeon outfit led by Ranba Ral pursues the White Base across Asia, both with dwindling supplies are resources. Could be fun!

The second submission of this human being has been added to the ever-growing database of Postcards From the Front Jam (2023 edition).

It is officially "work-in-progress", quite volatile and subject to considerable randomness.

In the coming weeks, the submitted content will be updated (more than once).

It is also a single player game, where (with the use of more than 10 d6s) player tries to stop enemies from capturing a city-state.

When You will see the cover, You will understand that I am not the professional graphic artist.

As a thumbnail for the itch-io project site, this will do :)

Next step: reorganizing my notes into postcard-sized rules. The time of my submission (ha!) is approaching.

#pftf2023 #wip #SaveMyCity

It is not quite playable yet but today was a good progress toward a second postcard. It is getting somewhere.

Game designing is not a quick job. It proceeds in fits and starts :)

It is also a heartwarming thing to see the results of one's thoughts becoming tangible.

Bake some cookies, craft oneself a table, design a boardgame, write a poem - there is a joy to be had in the act of creation.

We now have 51 participants in the #pftf2023 game design jam! 🎉🎉 @HissyCatStudio 🙌 Looking forward to the next game entries! 👉 https://itch.io/jam/postcards-from-the-front/entries #wargames #boardgames

I'm playing Carter Jones' #pftf2023 entry: Trench. The always-changing move/capture options, plus officer piece being able to issue orders to infantry, makes a really enjoyable and novel abstract strategy game. You've really got me thinking here! #wargames #boardgames 👉 https://itch.io/jam/postcards-from-the-front/rate/1861584
