LingoLegend is a super fun language game! They just need to add contextual learning.

Veteran Dice Tower reviewer Sam Healey resigns in wake of saying Alex Pretti, Renee Good were to blame for ICE killing them, after comments began impacting review giant’s annual pledge drive - Healey made his comments about Good and Pretti on his Facebook page on January 26, the day after the latter was killed by federal agents during a protest in Minneapolis against the Trump administratio...

Glad for consequences for Sam Healy! #games #boardgames

Seen at MAGFest. Cropped to minimize ethical issues.

A lot of the women of color creatives a MAGFest were on Bluesky. That made it more of a highlight for me! Networking with the socially aware.

Openvibe app fail! It showed the tag as functional there, but did not post correctly here.

Chinese zodiac game prototype - playtested at home with a new friend. Teachers Mandarin!

It was harder to sneak into the indie game section at #MAGFest for playtesting this year, and we only ran one playtest and a few demos of the Chinese zodiac prototype. But good to see some familiar designers from Break My Game and others. Liked the indie table setup better this year@lunarpunk.games

Good to see you at MAGFest! This game is a cool concept and I wish my friend had been available to play it with me last night. I’d like to see more games about relationships!

At MAGFest panel on how to teach board games.

Working on a brand new prototype! Second playtest happened today. This one teaches #Mandarin #Chinese.

FOXP2 Games at MAGFest with Nordic language games set up, holding Icelandic mini-shield with runes and ravens (ravner). This was in 2023 before we changed our name from Philyra Games.

Bluesky doesn't offer a Norwegian interface yet, so now using the Danish! Danish and Norwegian are written so similarly, it's pretty easy to understand for a semi-fluent Norwegian-speaker. Get a copy of Twisty Tealz to start learning either of these languages!

Yo, who’s interested in a game that uses this wicked cool numeral system?!

You can also keep in touch with us through our Discord channel. This is especially good to join if you’re interested in playtesting, translating, proofreading, or community surrounding our #language #games!

Most entertaining game playtested at UnPub over the weekend (not including ours): Period Party. Très drôle ! #unpub #games #cardgames

@unpub.bsky.social Thanks also, bien-sûr, to UnPub for providing the opportunity, a great keynote, and tons of free materials to construct games with! First time taking advantage of that - seen above are the black and smaller card sleeves and the tokens we used for winning sentences.

Une joueuse dans la révolution !

Had a fabulous time at UnPub this weekend playtesting a brand new game! It’s a French sentence-building game that is political-themed. Vive la révolution ! Vive la démocratie ! Also sold a couple prototypes of Twisty Tealz (Mandarin). Merci beaucoup to our playtesters for all the fantastic feedback!

Fascinating. Graphic appreciated!

W00t! We love Celtic languages!! Anyone want us to make a game that teaches Scottish Gaelic? 🤓

Not in those terms! Love Little Free Libraries. 😊

Whoa, cool! Mi piace l’italiano!

Cards laid out

Since we’re on both Mastodon and Bluesky, we’re trying out this app called Openvibe that allows you to crosspost to both of them at once.
Seems nice so far!

Here’s a snapshot of the Mandarin version of Twisty Tealz coming soon to appease the language gods (shénmíng 神明).

Decided on one final little rule change before publishing: you’ll no longer have to make sure that a teal is not the last thing you play! For a longer game you can always add that rule in, but it tends to increase the length of the game by 25-100%.

The final prototype is in! Expect this to be available for purchase by early February!!
