Another new game from Rob and me - available to demo at Essen Spiel! :)

I love this new game Emberheart. It’s one of my favorites of the year so far! #boardgames #games #tabletopgames #boardgamegeek

Your island is under attack, but you know what you do! Gather your troops, rally heroes to your cause, and protect the dragons the enemy is coming to claim. It's a new game from Mindclash Games - join me here and let's learn how to play Emberheart: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPr7...

Will you become the next Dragon Ambassador?

Thanks. Yes, absolutely! This is the first of my games which has had a big launch like this with multiple previews, how to plays, and playthrough videos. It’s very enjoyable because it feels like an event!

Very excited that my worker placement game is up for preorder from Mindclash! Stunning production from the team, especially artost Andrew Bosley! preorder.mindclashgames.com/product/embe...

That’s awesome! I’m really pleased to hear it :) If you’re able to leave a similar comment as an Amazon review, I’d really appreciate it! Good luck with your projects!

I agree with you Sen. In my non-design career as an educator in healthcare I’m surprised how seriously personality tests are treated. MBTI, DISA etc are promoted heavily in UK & rarely scrutinised. My video was not meant as anything more than an entertaining conversation-starter. Thanks for sharing!

This is great! I’ll certainly be considering this in the future. I made a deep dive video about the most common approaches to designing games for kids.

I think the ideal scenario is to create a game with an audience in mind … that you also love to play! I devised a model for determining which games are worth pursuing & how to prioritise game projects - might be worth looking at?

Hello new friends, thank you for the follow! 🙂 I’m a graphic designer in the board game industry - I’ve worked on over 50 game titles including War Chest, Let's Go to Japan, Santa Monica, Zoo Vadis, Dice Miner, and Votes for Women. I particularly love the icon and logo design parts of the process!

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve ordered Christmas Carol & Orbital volume 1. Branching out from Lucky Luke & The Bluecoats! :)

Yes, me too! What Bez says :)

Let’s train the Blue Sky Algorithm. Show me more Lucky Luke. Is that how it works? :)

I created a taxonomy of board game designer motivations - so we can create our own designer profiles. It is a useful exercise. Your can’t succeed if you don’t know your goal!

I am: Achiever, Entertainer, Natural. What are you?

I wonder if it’s a case of looking at it the wrong way round? I always think it’s better to identify an audience first - then create a game for them. Rather than creating a game and looking for an audience.
