Diplomacy: The Golden Blade PRE-ORDER Renegade Games Online Store

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!!

We had over 40 different games played at Playfest London last weekend, with prototypes ranging from white paper to beautifully-produced copies.

Here are a selection of prototypes played throughout the day. Which games do you like the look of? More in the next post 👇🏻

Playfest London was a blast. Our biggest and best event yet 🥳

Thank you to everyone who attended, designers and playtesters like you are what makes this community so great!

A special thanks to our guest speaker Matteo for sharing his experience designing Daybreak.

See you again next year ❤️ 🎲✂️

Looks awesome! What’s the best place to keep up with these events?

Things the vast majority of humans that play board games NEVER say about board games:

- crunchy
- brainburny
- mechanism/ mechanic
- well balanced
- analysis paralysis
- multiplayer solitaire
- carebear
- positive interaction

Many more I can’t think of right now…. 😜

By any chance did you try railway boom?

Ah nice!

Assume there’s currently no English version?

IDK if publishers following me that are looking for some tipps for games to bring to Europe/US, but National Economy is a sleeper hit. There will be a new version in Essen,but TMK its again sold only in Asia.

(I have no affiliation with publsiher or designer, just think that game is worth pushing)

Hey #boardgamesky!

I'm looking for examples of /weird/ board games. Games that do something you don't expect games to do, whether theme, mechanic, player experience/emotion, or other surprises.

Bonus points for being cheap, recent and/or quick to play, but none of these are essential.

We enjoyed it too!

Have heart! You might love it.

I have it on preorder myself.

Ahhh ok!

Successful board games have a problem…Most end up with tons of expansions and additional content.

Making them pretty intimidating for newbies.

I wish more of such games would release slimmed down ‘essential’ editions.

The only video games I play these days are digital versions of board games. So both answers are the same :)

I know what you mean. I went through a long board game draught and video games really helped fill the void.

Not to mention there are some really clever video games being made these days.

Board games and it's not remotely close

Boardgames because I have a computer dedicated to video games and I find myself writing in my boardgame blog (or doing BGA or whatever) more often than I turn that computer on.

Video games. It's too difficult finding people to play the board games I like with me.

You found the loophole eh!

So given that I'm playing BoardGameArena right now with live chat, and it's good enough for me if I have to choose, I'll pick video games (as board game arena is a video game!)
