Might have to make a daily 6x6 Solo Toppa to have a more challenging option for people play.

Been a while since I did an index of posters.

Certainly not a complete representation. Mostly the poster work I've done for my own creative fulfillment over the past 25 YEARS! (I'm sure I've missed more than a few thanks to my ever-so creative file labeling system). #posterart #posterartist

A bit of card and box art I did for “Escape from Horrorwood” from NewVenture Games. I like all cards but the Werewolf and Mummy are probably my favorites! #tabletopgames #gameart

Been a while since I cut anything on the laser (preoccupied with my 3d printer I guess) but I figured since I recently got the rights back to this graphic I’d make some wooden postcards & bookmarks for upcoming shows. #lasercutting

Thought this one was going to be quicker. 22’s still not too bad though. #toppa #onlinegame

If I ever get an app made for Toppa I’d love for it to save a history of points scored similar to Wordle.

I wonder if it’s worth adding a max number of turns so there’s a chance of “losing”?

Got in my Toppa cards in for the “Stacks” card version of Toppa. Still need to play test.

The swapping of boards is such a big part of the tabletop version, the challenge will be in how to incorporate a similar mechanic into the card game. #tabletop #cardgame

One of my current projects is a Holiday card game. Hopfully it will be ready for this year! Even if it's not a specific game of its own, it should be suitable for most traditional card deck games. #cardgame #tabletop

Just realized when you uncover 4 red dots & reset the board it also resets all stacks too. I mean, that’s how it should work but it wasn’t a conscious decision of a potential strategy when I was designing the game.

This weekend I participated in a 24 hour “Game Jam”. At 1:00 on Saturday everyone got to open their secret box of game pieces. We then had 24 hours to create a game with those pieces included and record a 2:00 how to play video. #tabletop #boardgames

Lucky guess, I had completely lost the 4th green chip.

Got a sample deck of my icon card game. Still need to play test some more and dial in the rules… and probably tweak the name but i couldn’t wait to get a sample. I’m incredibly impatient which is why I have a box filled with out of date prototypes, lol. #cardgames #gamedesign

I've been trying to design a customizable cube/box since I got my 3d printer about 6 months ago. I think this might be the one! #3dprinting #boxes #3Ddesign

Working on a playing card version of Toppa (possibly).
I like the idea of offering a low cost alternative but also wouldn't want to cannibalize the small amount of game sales I do have for the board versions. #cardgame #gamedesign #tabletop

I immediate lost where the 4th green chip was, then uncovered a bunch of yellow which adds a checker back to the board. Ended up uncovering some big stacks to find the 4th green!

I’m pretty happy w/the range of scores I get w/Toppa Daily. Most days are 5-15 turns but every so often I lose track & end up with a 60 or 70 but it’s never unsolvable. Today is right down the middle. #onlinegame #indiegame
