I didn't think it was possible to make a Tetris-like strategy game, and yet Drop Duchy's launch yesterday has proven me wrong - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/i-didnt-think-it-was-possible-to-make-a-tetris-like-strategy-game-and-yet-drop-duchys-launch-yesterday-has-proven-me-wrong #Birdview/Isometric #ActionAdventure #SinglePlayer #CardGames #DropDuchy #Strategy #Puzzle #Indie #PC

Played our first game of my review copy of @doomlings with the Legends of Enderas expansion. There are some crazy combos and the Treasures add a few extra tactical options. Need to play it a few more times before I can review it, but enjoying it so far. #ReviewCopy #cardgames

Played more TCGs this week than I have in a long time and it felt great. Got to go to my second @NullSignalGames meet up at Bonus Round here in Chicago and learned a whole lot more about the #NetrunnerTCG. I'm excited to get to crafting my first couple decks, I think I'll start with a Shaper Runner and iron out how I wanna go about a Corp deck after that.

Got two days-worth of #AlteredTCG in as well, and came in second for the big #Tumult tournament that Prism Games in Chicago hosted. Not too bad a showing after taking a few months off due to an absolutely crazy work schedule!

Gonna try to get back to sleep with some #TitanAE, as I'm still recovering from a minor surgery on Saturday. Hint: there's a popular #CircleJerks song about it!

Take care y'all, and take care of each other!

Months (years) ago, I started to create a card game (a physical one, with real printed cards)
I never finished it
Or to be more precise, all cards were drawn, but rules have never been finalized.

I've decided to start to publish cards because there's no reasons to keep them just for me
Take a look here for more information about the game, and cards
https://grum.maou-maou.fr/bulicards/

Here's the first 4 cards

Cards are realized with #krita (painting), #inskcape (icons), #scribus (layout and printing)

midweek @3goodthings
- put away in storage: winter coats, scarves, hats, gloves
- brought out my summer stuff: sports gear, clothes, accessories
- pink sakura blossoms on the ground everywhere in #Vancouver this spring
- reorganized my board & card game collection into different shelves
- updated the game inventory sheet I made (link attached). I limit myself to 44 total games so if I buy a new one, i have to donate/sell an old one from this list
- game list is handy for organizing coffee chats, dinner parties, or events where we spend 1-4 hours together (friends, new ppl, fam). Some of these have made rounds in meetup events and dates!

Heading out to the card shop to pickup an order so I can have a cool demon make the apocalypse happen with a cool sword so I can win the game.

#WarlordSagaOfTheStorm was one of my favorite #CardGames in the early 2000's.

I had gotten burned out on Magic & Warlords really drew me in.

I loved the different factions & lore. I also loved the emphasis on equipping different items and how the mercenaries could be filtered into other factions.

The rank system was an interesting way of approaching casting cost and the fact it was all based on the d20 system was really cool as well.

I really miss playing this game...

Yay! I got my review copy of Ofrenda by Orlando Sá and André Santos from @ospreygames with art from Álex Herrerías. It’s a card-placement game inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead.

If you’re at #UKGE2025, you can get a demo of this game as well. I certainly can’t wait to play this.

Was a busy week of #gaming for us! We had #GameNight Culture Brewing Co , we had a random afternoon of #cardgames at a possible partner location AND a day just hanging with friends and big box #boardgames - whew!

We played:
Dracula Vs. Van Helsing from 25th Century Games
Hex Effects from Pillbox Games
Ninjan from Helvetiq
7 Wonders from Repos Productions

Tell us what you think of the games we played, or what games you played instead!

It's International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day!

Today, we celebrate our own friendly little raven, Blanche. She's always willing to make time for a game, teach you how to play, and share her treasures with you when you win.

Thanks for being awesome, Blanche.

"Initially intended as collectibles, the cards were turned into Pokemon-style trading cards at the urging of children who saw the competitive potential behind their disarmingly analogue pastime"

Spades is a fun trick-taking game, commonly for four players. But if you’re low on players, that’s no problem!

Blanche loves to spend an afternoon drafting, bidding, and taking tricks—all with just two players. See how it works: https://youtu.be/ZiXAz4gSwE4

Why do so many print-and-play card games use so much black that you're burning an entire toner cartridge?

Love it if Tin Helm or whatever had a "gray" version.

I would think that there are more, and possibly better card games than can be played with the standard 52-card deck. But I doubt that anything will ever overcome the social inertia that that deck has keeping it as the standard. (Certainly not within my lifetime!) #Gaming #CardGames

My child invited me a new card game. It's like "go fish", but when you don't have the requested card then you say "get stuffed".

It suddenly makes the game so much nicer.
