We did an article on how different organizations are using boardgames to make impact for children in Nigeria. Please take a read.

The Power of Play

A table. A few cards. A handful of players leaning in, plotting their next move. It doesn’t look revolutionary, but

We are working on our first ever mobile game. It’s an adaptation of a press-your-luck card and dice game.

You can check out the website and maybe join us for a Beta test.

Thank you 😊 🤩🙏🏽

This is a new territory but it felt so sure to do. We are making a mobile game app adaptation of our card/dice game.

Oya One More is a press your luck game with a lot of twists.

The app is currently underway and we are now getting signups for the Beta test coming soon.

Please join us.

I am on BGA. You can say ‘hi’ or a friend request and we can play some games together.

Particularly games like; Heat, Stoneage, Flip 7, Azul, Cartographer, Wingspan, Splendor or anyone of interest (I can learn🤩).

Open to turn-based games more to real-time. Looking forward to your invites 🤩

One More is my latest game and thanks to @thespiel.bsky.social, it will be available for game play at Spiel this year.

One More is a push your luck game using dice and card. This is also my first work where you use all the components (card, dice and tokens) to play two different games. Excited!

The idea of the studio is that other people can use different angles or change a background to host their own content/show.

Let’s see if this can be done before AB Con 2025; I hope so.

Please do share any idea or photos of your studios or any studio if you can.

Thanks for reading 😊

Now, the idea is back again and strong. And somehow, the community is ripe to do all of these things compared to years ago.

I have been surfing YouTube accounts and the internet search engines to see what studios look like and get some inspiration.

Then I got scammed in 2022 by a carpenter who took the money for construction and ran away (moved from his house).

So I just gave up and thought to use any corner of the café for contents.

But it wasn’t a studio.

A journey to maybe creating a Tabletop games content studio:

For years now, I have played around the idea of building a studio at the cafe for everything games (interviews, play through, news conversations, how to play, reviews etc).

I am always inspired by the works I see on the global community. Thank you Suzanne ❤️

One photo shows me playing a game with a child 8 years ago. The other photos of last week (and today) teaching and playing games with kids at a summer camp.

I was hesitant to share this (hi imposter syndrome) but on a more thought, I hope this inspires someone.

Keep showing up 😊

Today we playtested 4 new games by 3 different designers. Everyone got feedbacks about their game and how to improve certain elements of it.

It was beautiful to watch and play too.

Generally speaking, I work really hard on games during design to make sure you - the player - don't have to work too hard during play.
