Magnifiers is a deck-builder that flows extremely well, was tight, and had tense moments as you count your hand to see if you have just enough points to buy a coveted Joker card. Here is Tim's pitch video if you'd like to learn more about the game: m.youtube.com/watch?v=9odZ...

Trying to play games in the design contest tonight. Either another designer payed Reggie to try to block us from playing other finalists in the contest or he wanted to play too. Either way, the cat was moved and the Sky Commanders was played.

Boil & Bubble is currently on KS. Players are witches placing ingredient cards into your personal scoring cauldron throughout the game. Every round you are also bidding on and winning other spell cards that you will use to score with your stored ingredients. The player with the highest score wins.
