Tony Tran 🔜 Unpub

I never got my maze game off the ground. I have been cutting back my designs because I already neglect my current ones..

The game Between is wonderful.

I'll be there! Can't wait to see what you and DC folks have cooking

Congratulations Jack!

Today I want to share that Ryan Dancey and AEG have parted ways.
This is not an easy post to write. Ryan has been a significant part of AEG’s story, and I am personally grateful for the years of work, passion, and intensity he brought to the company. We have built a lot together.

Glimmerdeep Leverage unique faction capabilities to excavate land, gather resources, and build buildings to benefit your society under the earth.

A game I have developed is on Kickstarter! I do not benefit from it funding but I just wanted to share. It was a fun project to work on for the past 2 years. It got great previews of it so if you would enjoy a flip and draw meets tile placement, check it out.

AEG would not exist without the creativity and hard work of designers.

No unpub this year? 😭

I just wrapped up my judging for the Cardboard Edison Award, and this year has some truly stellar games. If my assigned games are any indication of the overall games, the competition is incredibly high and I look forward to the finalists!

But when you do, please tell me something about it instead of just asking if I'll review your unnamed, unintroduced, totally anonymous game.

I read your other posts. We old men now. The handbag one was super interesting. "Knockoff" feels archaic now.

I was playing an app version of The Chameleon and I was 100% sure the young people around me did not know LotR... and I was correct.

New game day! I've been playing/reading the amazing Ironsworn for years now and finally got around to pick it up.

We are playing scout next. Japanese games only today.

Seriously. I did not expect it so be so much fun. I played with my parents and they had a blast
