I can't believe that Dot Com won the Cardboard Edison Award, it's a huge honor!! Massive thanks to the judging team for all their hard work and feedback, and to everyone who playtested the game. I hope to play all the finalists' games at some point, they all look super fun :)

Tip for anyone who wants to get a contest submission together: set aside a couple of weeks to make the video, then get the flu for those weeks so you end up with only three days to make the video, then when the video comes out 30 seconds too long just speed it up until it fits the time limit 😉🙃

I'm late to this bc I haven't been on social media for a bit, but I'm beyond honored that Dot Com is a finalist for the Cardboard Edison Award! All the entries look crazy fun and I hope I can play them someday, best of luck to everyone!

A photo of my game Spy Moles. There's a sheet of paper with a grid on it, and a blacklight shining on the paper reveals markings made by the player with an invisible ink pen. Surrounding the paper are cards and stencils

A photo of my game Dot Com. In the center of the table is a game board, with player pawns and cards on top of it. Each player also has their own personal board showing the actions they can take. Not pictured is the companion app for the game that keeps track of your money!

Hi Bluesky! I'm Sammy, a board game designer from the Seattle area. I plan to mostly post about game design along with other various life things on here :)

Two of my fav in-dev games: Spy Moles, a roll-and-write played with invisible ink pens, and Dot Com, a frantic real-time economic strategy game
