I design, develop and publish boardgames. I listen to handmade music of many kinds - mostly guitar-driven. I used to like football a lot. I try to live an inclusive life style. Trying to never stop learning. Hoping to be an ally.🏳️‍🌈

The Game Design Mountain: I think one of the hardest things in game design and publishing is to understand where you start your climb to the top. I would guess that it depends to 80% on the core gameplay loop or mechanical innovation and the rest is a mix of product potential and theme. 1/X ✂️ 🎲

Very fascinating. I once randomly was at a silent book club. To be frank - we met at this community center to play games. But then this silent book club event started. And we actually were too loud and stopped playing out of respect. But this with boardgames? I would attend.

A silent board gaming club, based on the popular idea of silent book clubs, may seem like an odd idea, but it can be a way to bring gamers together in an environment that’s less awkward than the typical meetup. www.meeplemountain.com/articles/how... #BoardGames #Community #GamingLife

#LaCosecha will be out at #Spiel26 in Essen! Stay tuned! I will soon share some images from the preproduction copy that just showed up on my doorstep! #DonkeyTime #Boardgames

My upcoming boardgame #LaCosecha has a #BGG entry! #Spielworxx already posted a few images to the page! La Cosecha ("the harvest") is a complex roll&flip&write game and a successor to No Siesta featuring 2 play modes. A simpler "La Granja-version "La Fiesta" and a complex El Burro sheet #Boardgames
