Bluesky doesn't offer a Norwegian interface yet, so now using the Danish! Danish and Norwegian are written so similarly, it's pretty easy to understand for a semi-fluent Norwegian-speaker. Get a copy of Twisty Tealz to start learning either of these languages!

Yo, who’s interested in a game that uses this wicked cool numeral system?!
A break from our regularly scheduled programming to show you these super cool Iñupiaq numerals that were invented by a small Inuit middle school class in Alaska. Those students went on to teach the system to other Inuit students, and it soon came to be taught at their community college. Amazing. 🤩

Had a fabulous time at UnPub this weekend playtesting a brand new game! It’s a French sentence-building game that is political-themed. Vive la révolution ! Vive la démocratie ! Also sold a couple prototypes of Twisty Tealz (Mandarin). Merci beaucoup to our playtesters for all the fantastic feedback!

Since we’re on both Mastodon and Bluesky, we’re trying out this app called Openvibe that allows you to crosspost to both of them at once.
Seems nice so far!
Here’s a snapshot of the Mandarin version of Twisty Tealz coming soon to appease the language gods (shénmíng 神明).

Decided on one final little rule change before publishing: you’ll no longer have to make sure that a teal is not the last thing you play! For a longer game you can always add that rule in, but it tends to increase the length of the game by 25-100%.

Great sign: At least half of visitors to our demo/playtesting table at MAGFest asked if the game was available for purchase! Not quite, but we sold a prototype at the end of the weekend. ☺️
Random MAGFest: Trading pro-democracy zines for Pokémon cards at the trinket trade was super fun.

My final prototype is to arrive on Friday, so not in time for MAGFest. Demo players will get to enjoy the pronunciation guide being on the back of every card. XD
Honestly, this could be interesting! #magfest #cardgames #games #languages #pedagogy

The new prototype is in! In time for MAGFest. Accidentally printed the wrong backs, so also ordered a fixed prototype. Maybe players will appreciate having the pronunciation guide on the back of every card… 😂

Just created a Mastodon account. Now it's time to create a new business card for our new name and social accounts! Expecting to use Bluesky more than Mastodon, but joined a Mastodon server with a bunch of bonus features, including 2000-character limit and enhanced photo capacity. So that'll be fun.
