Hi Josh! Wondering re AI, so any use at all of genAI disqualifies? Even if only coding AI was used, or a translation AI, for example? As a solo dev in 2026, I find many AI tools invaluable. If I wasnt using AI tools, my game would take another 3-4 years to make...I'm program/design guy,not an artist

Huh, what about calling the main character Klingon on the new show 'Jay-Den.' This is very much not a Klingon name.

I'd say the time it took to make the game would be an axis on the bell curve. 'Oh one dev made this in a year!' versus 'Oh, 800 devs worked a decade on this, and its still not done yet and may be cancelled.'

I'm fortunate enough to have a friend who collects #boardgames so we have regular game nights all the time. Last night we played #Terrorscape . Mini review: great board, really short which is nice (40 min games), easy to learn, good variety with chars and maps, one side killers,other escapees 4outa5

Pretty good capsule! Better than my earlier ones. If I were to be a critic though, perhaps you have too much unused space on the sides. You may also want to add some icongraphy / symbology to represent your genre ( Chris Zukowski had some good videos on this recently).
