Excited to share that my first published game design has been officially announced!!
Diplomacy: The Golden Blade card game is a new twist on the classic. Plays 2-7 and ~15 minutes per player but keeps a lot of the backstabbing fun!!

I finally finished @stickydoodler.bsky.social’s Bonsai Diary. Truly a mind-expanding experience to think forward six generations, especially in this moment that is so steeped in despair.

A question from a fellow designer from Brazil that doesn't know much about European board game design market 🎲✂️
Around Essen time, is there any good time to send publishers your online pitches? When is better to pitch from now to the end of the year?
(Is there a answer for this? haha)
yeah, i find it easy to make a quick UI even as I build the simulation .. for a lot of them it helps to visualize things .. happy to discuss in detail via DM if you want

Cool! Glad you found them interesting. I think there are lots of interesting lessons in its design and the twists it adds to more standard deck building.
