Game Makin

Thinkin about the multi-dozen's of games I tried to make and never finished. (Like three different TTRPG systems and like, six card games lmao.)

A human crewmate, Mia, held a long thin box. It seemed to have paper and plastic peices inside, based on the sound. A puzzle perhaps? A few other crewmates trailed behind them.

"Hey Bob! Wanna join us? We're playing Clue, it's a board game from earth."

Bob nodded and joined the others trailing after Mia. He had no idea what a 'board game' was, but it seemed fun. They eventually all gathered around a table in the cafeteria.

"Okay, so it's a murder mystery and we have to figure out who killed Mr. Body. We're all possible suspe-" Mia started to set up the board and explain, but was cut off by Jli'yan.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but why do humans have a game centered on murder and distrust?"

"Cause it's fun, thrilling. Good for poker face practice." Kaya answered, shuffling cards. They then nodded towards Mia to continue explaining.

It's been a year since I released my first board game - Secret Order! I worked on this game with Valhallions and am delighted to say that we will be working together in future to make more wonderful games!

It's been a fantastic year and we can't wait to share our next game with you!

If you've missed it, you can find it on The Game Crafter here; https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/secret-order

And if you're developing a game I would highly recommend using The Game Crafter for manufacturing. Their website made it really simple!

This is a new variant of Scrabble I'm working on which is fairly mean to its players.  Rare letters are no longer rare, point values are rendered mostly meaningless, and you have to make valid plays without actually seeing any of the words on the board. Please click over and share your thoughts, I'd love some input on this.  Would it actually be any fun to play this way?

Ok but a Metroid tabletop game with cards that had a graphic design pattern similar to Samus’s scan visor would fuck unbelievably hard.

The world might be on fire, or it might not, let's play battleships anyways

This is your board, and I have just the same:

[ID: 10x10 grid. Numbers (on top) left to right 1-10. Letters (on left) top to bottom A-J]

And these are your ships, and I have just the same:

[ID: 1st ship: Aircraft Carrier—1pcs—size: 1x5

2nd ship: Battleship—1pcs—size: 1x4

3rd ship: Cruiser—1pcs—size: 1x3

4th ship: Submarine—2pcs—size:1x2

5th ship: Destroyer—2pcs—size1x1]

Rules:

• Your ships cannot overly

• Your ships have to be placed horizontally or vertically (no diagonally)

• If opponent sinks a ship, you have to tell which one it was

• If you hit something, it's your turn again

• If you want to stay anonymous, please identify yourself with a code name (it can be as simple as an emoji)

• Please don't cheate

Gameplay:

~ the first turn is yours, send a call out in the ask box

~ I will tell you whether or not you hit something and then I will call out (if you didn't) {all o' this in a posted answer}

~ It's your turn again, first tell me whether or not I hit something, then call out (if I didn't) {in an ask}

~ this goes on until one of us sinks all of the other one's ships

~If you are unfamiliar with the game itself here's a link to an in depth explenation

Good to know

+ I'm using a different board with every player

+ The gameplay or the rules might be modified if I get bored of them

+ Planning on drawing my own ships and board instead of the current ugly ones

Hell yeah

I love playing board games…but I do not enjoy learning how to play them for the first time! 😤 What games do you enjoy playing? (We’re always looking for new ones to play!)

In other news - I made some Garfield comics! My first story is in Garfield Issue 1, out this Wednesday from Boom Studios! I’ll make a proper post about it soon! 🍝🍕🐈

I hear there's a show called "24 Legacy". Soooo, is it not rewatchable?

AAAAAAHHHH!!! This is perfect! I absolutely adore lamia love interests, and even have some RPG stuff with lamia love interests. She sounds magnificent, and I would absolutely love making stuff and going to conventions with her.

She would have to teach me a lot about Pokemon or Digimon TCG though. I tend to play Magic: the Gathering, Dragon Ball: Super, or Lorcana. Then again, part of the fun is teaching each other your favorite games.

I love this so much! Thank you so much @violetsandmoss !

For the monster matchmaker, I would prefer the following. She/her. Likes playing games (like trading cards, miniatures games, or video games). Also likes to snuggle, and we can wrap each other up in our arms and bodies a lot. Plus, I hope she's okay with me doing the cooking and cleaning a lot.

Ohmg ohmg ohmg okay okay HEAR ME OUT

Lamia...

Shes got cuddles for days!!!

But shes very clumsy when not painting miniatures. Like super clumsy.

Shes bashful and a bit shy.

She has a whole book case of JUST trading cards and will encourage you to check them out. Calls it her " archives"

Somehow knows where each card is. " Thats not in that binder, silly! Its in THIS one"

You keep her warm. She cuddles SO well.

Good compression for anxiety tbh

Plays both sides of the digemon vs pokemon debate

Loves letting you ride on her shoulders if you go to any conventions or crowded places

Uses her tail as a couch for you!!

Has one of every console.

She also loves jigsaw puzzles and puzzle toys. Shes always fidgeting with something including your hand 🥰 or the hem of your sleeve etc

You meet because she makes miniature props for a living and you need a specific thing- which she makes.

At first youre just friends, but then winter comes and her sleepy cuddliness breaks the ice. " If i leave my heater My fingers are too cold!!" You:!!!!

You catch her one day playing human dating sims " its for research!!!:)" you both play and giggle

Until during a x rated scene she turns to you and asks if she can " kiss you, for research."; what happens after that is up to you!

Loves sitting in the kitchen while you cook enjoying silent parallel play

Today's Board Game With My Dad: Marvel Zombies, Heroes Resistance.

We barely survived fighting against the hordes on this one. Actually had to reshuffle the Zombie Deck because so many zombies spawned on us (including every Zombie Hero). Luckily, Spider-Man, Vision, Wasp, and Hulk lived to see another day.

I got so excited when CMON announced this game from their Zombicide line-up. Maybe some day, I can get the full Marvel Zombies base game as well as the expansions (Clash of the Sinister Six and Guardians of the Galaxy seem the coolest). Hopefully, I can share more board game stuff in the future.

Lil commission I did for a board games bachelorette brunch, which is the dopest sort of shindig, I feel like 🥑🍹🍳☕ Food is my fav, I should really try drawing food more

tonight me and my family played Catan my stepdad and brother got into two separate screaming matches over the rules and I had enough time to use the bathroom and browse tumblr during the screaming one of the trading conditions between me and my brother was essentially “you do not get to hold everyone else hostage by refusing to end your turn to force others to trade with you if I give you this wheat” (he did anyways) and he still ended up loosing to our little sister

Imaginez vous, debout sur votre AiK2, naviguant dans les rues de la ville ou survolant les trottoirs. Vous inclinez légèrement votre poids pour changer de direction, et l'engin répond instantanément. C'est une sensation d'équilibre et de contrôle que seuls le AiK2 peut vous offrir. Cet engin futuriste combine une technologie de lévitation couplée à des turbines électriques.

My latest edition to my Clue collection: the 2000 UK edition of Cluedo.

This is my number 1 favorite edition of the game and I'm so proud to finally have it in my possession!
