I just sent out our first newsletter to subscribers! The biggest piece of news is announcing our first game - Painkillers, one of my designs. I am immensely proud of this game and how far it has come since its inception. Here's a mini thread on the game as it is now.

Image of the United States in gray, with a teal background. Along the Eastern seaboard runs a collection of pharmaceuticals that roughly make up the shape of the Appalachian Mountains. In large, white letters, it says the name of the game - Painkillers - with a syringe forming both Is in the name, and the final S as a dollar sign. Across the top is the name of the designer - Brooks Barber.

Had a great dress rehearsal for PACT at a local game convention. I will say I have the first of three rounds of this game DOWN. Now I just have to make sure the last two rounds are as widely enjoyed.

Very interested to know, if you have a dominoes set at home, what values are they and what size are the actual dominoes. We have sets of 15x30mm, 20x40mm and 1in x 2in. Curious if there are other common sizes. Wondering if there are enough domino sets in the wild to justify a pnp-only Domino City.🎲

What are the Mashu? Mashu are small, friendly, social creatures. They tend to travel around in groups of four to ten, although there appears to be no upper limit on how many will gather or travel together. Mashu behaviour is entirely based around doing what seems like a fun idea at the time.
