Military games aren’t usually my thing, but That’s An Order! from @galens-games.bsky.social is different. The game blends programming mechanics, modular maps, and high-stakes decision-making into a compact, tense package. Full overview & thoughts: bit.ly/48jyTZB

Mint-Tin Monster Mash-Up is small, silly, and surprisingly engaging. It’s not trying to be a deep tactical experience, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s quick monster-bashing fun in a package that fits in your pocket. Check out an overview & my thoughts: bit.ly/40DN87w @galens-games.bsky.social

Snow day means a change of plans. Luckily the kiddo was excited about helping me assemble my prototypes and good progress was made! Also snapped some good pics of Mint Mechs!

This was the most abitious project I've ever worked on. From a random email with a concept in mind to giving away $20,000 of board games. Thanks to @moonsagaws.bsky.social , @mystictigergames.bsky.social , @galens-games.bsky.social & more for the games! youtu.be/wAQb87YEgdo #boardgames #tabletop

Great times at GAMA so far! If you're around, I'll be at booth 1468 when the Exhibitor Hall opens.

Do you ever design a way for your kids to play your games that aren't designed for kids? Greya was interested in my Mint Mechs game and I helped her design her own - super OP -characters and weapons. She played 6 games in a row and won consistently and "fairly" on the 3rd or 4th turn each game!

Super Snipers makes a 2nd Dice Tower Top-10 List! This time as Tom's #7 game that "did something different" in 2024. I'm thrilled with the recognition! youtu.be/vknz1GTaMt0?...

As a game designer and self-publisher, all the “firsts” are really special. Today I celebrate making my first top 10 of a year list, as Super Snipers was Ruby’s #6 and Violet’s #1! youtu.be/uOLxjfzSwE8?...

Mint Mechs playtest last night. I killed A LOT of darlings to get here, but it only sweetened the magic of the game- which revolves around drafting dice to set up big damage combos. Super happy with where this is at and where it’s headed! #mintmechs #minttingames #boardgamedesigner

Just wanted to say that I had an amazing time at Pax Unplugged! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth! Always gratifying to meet the people playing my game(s) and get more out there!
