Let's talk about the weather Hello everyone!

New post: Let's talk about the weather - A deeper look at what's so cool about The Daily Weather.

open.substack.com/pub/buttonsh...

I’ve been slightly obsessed with @buttonshy.bsky.social’s stuff lately. I played an early print-and-play version of The Daily Weather digitally and have had a lot of fun with it. I’m eager to get a final, physical copy in my hands and work it into my routine of spending more time with analog games.

The Daily Weather Challenge yourself daily to create the perfect forecast using each day’s unique conditions in this pocket-sized game. Only $10!

The Daily Weather is live on Kickstarter! A tiny little puzzle game that you play every day, with setup and scoring goals based on the day/month/season, etc. It's super fast, and everyone compares it to their Wordle-like morning routine. Save $5 at Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/239...

The Daily Weather completed for Feb 1st

One play in of The Daily Weather by @buttonshy.bsky.social and I can already tell this may be a daily play for me (even though my first score was lousy). An extremely quick, delightful puzzle that changes based on the day and time of year you're playing it. Looking forward to more tomorrow!

New video up on the channel! Today I took a preview look at the upcoming solo only spatial puzzler from @buttonshy.bsky.social , The Daily Weather, that offers up a unique puzzle every day!

Glad to hear it. Enjoy!

Yay @buttonshy.bsky.social it's game time!
First impressions: Beautiful artwork, instantly accessible, brilliantly balanced and unique mechanics. Rove is a proper little brain twister 👌

It's astonishing how much you can pack into a small pack of cards 👏

Yeah the shipping from US for small games is really high. If you buy a few, it starts to balance down a bit but it’s still very high. We should have some games at the IPA game shop in EU soon though. 🤞

Out of this list, just Twin Stars: Adventure Series I.

Some of these are quite rare and at the end, or nearing the end of our stock.

Our standard wallet games will be $15 each, with free shipping at $35. The older harder to find games will be $10 as part of this kickoff.

Fingers crossed this goes off without any issues! 🤣

(4/4)

Included are:
Avignon: A Clash of Popes
Avignon: Pilgrimage
Anthelion: Conclave of Power
Blank White 18 card challenge

These usually go quickly when we do this at our website, so we don't know what to expect at Etsy, but here's a list of what's going to be available. They aren't there yet, but we're launching them at 10:00AM Eastern tomorrow. (2/4)

Looking for some harder to find wallet games?

Saturday, January 31 @ 10:00 AM Eastern is our Button Shy / Etsy Kickoff Sale

The site is live, but we'll kick things off tomorrow morning with a selection of older / harder to find games as a one time sale. (1/4)

Love Letter is so fitting too as it inspired this entire line of wallet games. Anyone else have this issue? 😂

Coming soon: The Daily Weather Challenge yourself to create the perfect forecast using each day’s unique conditions. Play every day!

With this incoming storm, we have a FREE game to keep you busy! The Daily Weather is a little solo game about aligning the weather with a new puzzle each day. We released the PNP / PCIO files at our Kickstarter preview page and the response has been wild.

Another Scientific* Ranking of the Button Shy Solo Wallet Games | 1 Player guild In 2021 I created a thread to OBJECTIVELY* and SCIENTIFICALLY* rate all the Button Shy solo games. Well, if you hadn't noticed, time has passed, and it is - in fact - no longer 2021. Time for an updat...

Black Friday is TOMORROW!

Here we come full circle to Union Station! It was on the train home that Downtown Las Palmas was first sparked.

This Thanksgiving I'm very grateful to Jason Tagmire and the @buttonshy.bsky.social crew for taking a chance on a first-time card game designer. Happy playing!

A Converging Conversation. | GrahamS Games

Converge from @buttonshy.bsky.social is a masterful spot of 2 player #boardgame design. It plays fast and evokes plenty of agonising sounds from its players, as they navigate the deceptively simple, yet agonising, decision space. More thoughts on the blog.

Banned Books - our 2018 solo game about literary characters taking down the powers-that-be and unbanning their books - has been unlocked in our Gamefound reprint campaign. If you've been looking for this one (plus the 5 others we're reprinting, come on by: gamefound.com/en/projects/...

You're in luck!

And we print big decks of multiple games (and small expansions in various card counts), so we’re constantly trying to fill multiples of 18 on the spreadsheet. We’ve even made games that use one or two cards repeating just to toss those cards at the end of orders that don’t hit the exact number.
