"It should be no surprise that this game is a bit different to other games you may have previously played, given it was designed by the wonderful Bez Shahriari." 😊😊😊 🥰🥰🥰 https://t.co/M249l99i4S

https://t.co/lsr0O4VC47 A great article from Ellie Dix about getting the most from a boardgame playtest. (And thanks for the wee shout-out, @EllieDixTweets!)

This is one of my favourite photos. Pure joy, partially facilitated by me. I mean, sure it's about the other people around the table. About the ambiance. Having suitable clothes for the temperature. But the game does make a difference imo. :-p

Some things aren't worth commenting upon.

Validation A sense of purpose Intellectual curiousity Love of the medium Money Fame Collaboration. Wanting X to exist. I want to facilitate fun, or spark someone to ponder, or sometimes just see how something works. Some stuff I will design with a more commercial mindset.

ICYMI: I like this comic. Honestly, sometimes it's just cool to know a comic artist (occasionally) engages with one of your other passions. https://t.co/URZRSOWrw2

To me, this evokes memories of the Moomins. Relatively simple art leaves spaces for our imagination to fill in the gaps. But aesthetically, these colours are LUSH. And I also love how the colours are used to draw our eye to the centre of the frame.

I need to hold onto these reminders that I have managed to indirectly spark joy and facilitate fun. That makes me feel proud and super-validated. :-)

Sometimes, I need someone or something to remind me I'm worth taking care of. Because that's something worth me taking time/energy to do.

Would you pay a negligible amount of money to play something I made? Unoriginal rules. New content. Pushed to the limit for a special friend who knows the silliness I'm capable of and trusted me to make something cool. 4-9 players? To be played over a multi-hour dinner event.

"Last Bug Standing in the Circle of Doom! is a great 2-player abstract strategy game that’ll keep you coming back for more." "It’s a really delicious challenge that tickles parts of my brain that other games certainly don’t." https://t.co/M249l99i4S

I love this. Not just the execution of the illustration (lovely colours/lines) but also I think I intrinsically love the concepts where we are shown a relatable humanoid with a very different perspective (e.g. very small).

Riding a bicycle. Distraction. Wire suddently around my wheel. Cart in the middle of the road. Ouch. Got stitches. Will be OK soon. A visceral reminder to be careful and to probably pull over if I'm ever distracted again.

Would you rather replay a game you always win against me, or one you always lose against me? :-p

I will be doing a 'Best of Bez' digital-only KS at some point in the not-too-distant future. What would you like to see in the digital bundle? (And please back for £1 and share it when the time comes. You'll get a bunch of great stuff and help allow me to keep making stuff.)
