I won't be at Gen Con this year, but my upcoming game Creature Control will be! If you get the chance to try it out, I'd love to hear about it - doubly so with pictures!

Exciting Gencon coming up. We will be releasing the Homeland expansion for Root. AlIta and Andrea will be showing off Kart. Nick and Tyler will be showing off our cooperative dexterity game from @drawnonward.bsky.social, Creature Control. I'll be bringing two of my prototypes.

Getting ready for GenCon! I'm briging a ton of copies of Tricked Out and Coupon Clipper, so fingers crossed 🤞 the Game Market goes well.

I am always overjoyed to see people resonating with the work I am doing. Seriously, it makes all of this worth it.

Spaceballs the board game would either blow beyond belief or be the ultimate satire board game. Either way, hit me up Mel 😉

Laughed so hard playing this I cried. Got the entire table red in the face, it was so fun. Not a perfect game by any means, but what it gets right it nails. Not many games can pull that off.

The cover of the game, Dotter Connector. It is a game from Tokyo Game Market and published by Mr & Mrs Games. It was designed by Surimi.

This is the shit I live for.

They're called "dice"

I've long been a fan of AIT, and was lucky enough to watch a playtest of the 2nd edition late last year at SDHistCon. I liked what I saw and know that @colewehrle.bsky.social didn't stop there! Give the campaign a follow if you're curious! @wehrlegig.games www.kickstarter.com/projects/col...

Coming soon: An Infamous Traffic: Second Edition

A new edition of the acclaimed game of cutthroat capitalism in the nineteenth century opium trade.

not really sure why i ended up giving this oddly phallic hamster a dump-truck ass, but here we are.

A drawn image of a large hamster running in a clear hamster ball. They seem to be on a dirt road of some sort with grass in the foreground and a mountain with a snowy peak in the background.

The hamster has a surprisingly large ass, and is shaped somewhat like a phallus.

Man, they were not kidding about this heat wave.

A picture of three oddly shaped six-sided dice. They look like they are made from clay and have pips on them 1-6. One is circular, one seems kind of normal, and one looks like a log.

Very excited to be joining forces with The Seahorse & The Hummingbird for Quantum Train - a trick-taking game I designed. 🪐🚀🌌 Will be sharing more as this game matures through development and into eventual release, though TSH&THB have several games ahead of mine so don't get *too* antsy.

Hello-o-o-o-o-ooo #BoardGames World! It is a great pleasure to announce that The Seahorse & The Hummingbird has signed the trick-taking game Quantum Train by Taylor Shuss ( @drawnonward.bsky.social )! I'm excited to collaborate with Taylor and usher this brain-melter into the world.

Short notice, but do you have any burning questions for Alita at @leder.games about their upcoming project “Kart!”? #boardgames

Chris Lawrence 🔜 PAX West @chris.eternalstudios.com · 4w ago

Went to a playtesting event with a small local group and it was a hoot. So many great games at various points in their lifecycles. Realized once I got home that a whopping 80% of the prototypes I brought needed to be playtested in-person!

The Kickstarter for my game, Growing Groves, just launched! It's a trick-taker where won tricks are bids on trees that are gradually growing throughout the game. Bigger trees are worth more points, so you have to balance winning tricks vs. growing the trees. Check it out!

Launched our trick taking crowd funding this morning and was immediately humbled by the people who backed right away. If you like those types of games- check it out here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/val...

Doing some cleaning of old prototypes and found these. Lovingly drawn in MS Paint for a Tic-Tac-Toe themed social-deduction game, with the mission track being a Tic-Tac-Toe board. Before I understood I had to be efficient with my time, especially with first drafts. It lasted all of one playtest. 🤣

A picture of 8 cards on a black background. 3 of the cards say Team X at the top, and show an anthropomorphic letter X wearing two trilbys in grayscale holding a knife. 5 cards say Team O at the top, and show an anthropomorphic letter O wearing a trilby in grayscale holding a cigar.

Gotta love the frantic mad-dash updates right before a big day of playtesting! 😅

If you're going to Gen Con and have something special, consider showing it off to Leder!

Hey most of our work is done in-house, but we are open to new things. If you have something that you would fit our brand we will have a limited number of slots available at Gen Con 2026. forms.gle/iwTLC3H612Rr...
