I wrote about "maximalist" submarine wargame design in Tumulus Issue 4. Nice to see someone working on a minimalist design. Rules you can explain and then play in an hour? Count me in!

Imagine a #boardgame where you're a wizard. You can manipulate the future to go just as you wanted. (hopefully) You can't mess it up. Playing with friends & die? (been there amiright?) That's ok! Now you're on team ghosts & they can't be attacked. (they're ghosts!) Imagine no more, it's Pondus!
Hello Bluesky. Today is the day Pondus launches on Kickstarter! Come see what domino magic and adventure is all about. May Alora be with you.
