I playtested Nine Space Games a lot and it's one of my favorite games in years. I could go on at length about what I love about it as a game designer. But the layout is maybe my favorite part. Some of the most gorgeous-while-functional layout I've seen in a game. Standing ovation.

I had the pleasure of working on the layout for this amazing set of games by @jmstar.bsky.social. each game is wonderfully unique, and the unique sci-fi setting that binds them is revealed to you the more you play/read. thank you for letting me put my spin on it! bullypulpitgames.com/products/nin...
