Interesting... Wee Whimsical is what I have, I believe

Ah, good call!

I was afraid section ordering might be confusing...

The trouble is that in the setup, you have to give specific cards to each player, which is why I wanted to make it clear how to identify cards first. Maybe that's already intuitive enough though...

Thanks for the feedback, it's really helpful!

Thanks for taking a look! And yeah, I may have to play around with numbers in the corners.

Anyone fancy a quick proofread of these rules?

I bought the "guess the monster by its noise" game a while back in hopes of one day playing it with my kids. It might actually be time to get it out!

Interesting. I'll have to check it out!

I’ve seen Sea Salt and Paper around. I need to look into it more!

Nice! Trick takers seem to be especially popular right now. They're all I ever hear about!

I'm curious... what are some of your favorite games that come in a standard playing-card tuck box?

I'll accept other very small boxes, but the closer to a tuck box, the better!

I’m fairly familiar with the manufacturing side. Depending on your questions, I might be able to help.

Did they add an extra “m”?

… Or …

Was the “g” supposed to be a “j”?

And if that Something is No Good, you’d better believe I’m even more up to it.

I’m not sure, unless you mean prepaying VAT for the receiver.

Just tried that a few weeks ago and it’s more expensive than doing receiver-paid (like an extra 40%!), but it made shipping much faster and smoother.

I did it for reviewer copies so they don’t have to worry about it. Will def do again.

I think it’s the first 50 shipments a month are free, after that you have to pay a monthly fee. It works out pretty well for me, as I only use it for international shipments.

I’ve been happy with it!

If it helps at all, I'd look at using something like EasyShip for international. PirateShip is very competitive for domestic, but last I checked, it was terribly more expensive for international. Although their simple rate option may be that they've finally figured international out.

I'm good with quinoa too, but couscous just has such a better flavor and texture to me!

My wife prefers quinoa and my heart breaks a little every time I think about it…

I like it, but I’m afraid it’s not cool enough. Being cool is actually very important, but I didn’t think to mention that rule until after someone made a mistake…

If there isn’t already an official term for this, we need to come up with one STAT.

Now I need a name for this too! It’s almost like a bizarro Dunning-Krueger effect, where the designer has internalized way more than they think they have, and think the game is more intuitive than it is because of that.

These are all really nice, but that first photo is excellent.

Out of how many thumbs, Ben? Out of how many thumbs?!?!

Biblical Rain would be a good name for a board game…

Getting close to my old romping grounds now!
