Hi! I'm a board game designer in SLC. I'm obsessed with polyominoes and spatial games. I also feature a different board game every week and make a little doodle about it!
BGG: boardgamegeek.com/boardgamedes...
A pile of player sheets of the game Zebra, featuring polyominoes tiled with different line patterns on them. Cards from the game Turbo Drift, a real-space racing game. A car has tire marks behind it, heading straight towards a barrier. A game of The Grand Carnival in progress. Rides spread out across a field with visitors dropping off tickets as the stop by. A cork board filled with sticky notes, each with a different doodle about a board game.

Played Medici for the first time tonight. What a game! Very interesting auction dynamics, with how many spaces a player still has or what areas they're specializing in. Definitely helped that I ended up winning.
Player discs on different steps of the fur sections of the Medici board. A player ship board filled with cards, each representing a different good, like spices, wheat, or dye

Played Dohdles! tonight, designed by Klaus Teuber. Sculpt something well, but not TOO well. Pretty fun! And that dough is very satisfying to mold.

Can you guess what these are? (Answers in alt text)
Two sculptures made of dough sitting on a circular game board. The orange one is shaped like a blobby triangle (a propeller) and the purple one is shaped like a flat blobby triangle (underpants) A closeup of a grey sculpture with a round green on in the background. The grey is like a small cup (a thimble) and the green one looks like a curled up snake (a belt)

Trophies is the Game of the Week! A very straightforward party game about answering a category with a specific letter, but the presentation is very charming. Each card has a made-up trophy on the back, and the winner gets to hold a teeny tiny trophy!
A collage of images of the game Trophies published by Facade Games: a sticky note doodle of a trophy, a closeup on a trophy of a weightlifter, labeled "World's Smallest Knees"; a tiny good trophy; the tin box for Trophies.

My goodness, how does this game look so good and run this well on the OG Switch? Incredibly impressive.

Just finished Celeste, finished Hollow Knight last week. Hades II coming out tomorrow, should be a nice change of pace in difficulty, right?

I haven't, but I want to take a closer look! The art is what drew me in. So so good!

What's the most disturbing sound effect you've come across in media?

Why you tucking your paws like that, my boy? How have you gotten even cuter?

Shallow Regrets by @tettix.bsky.social is the Game of the Week! Published by @buttonshy.bsky.social , fish for the biggest, flashiest, or creepiest creatures in the sea. Don't get stuck with the most foul catches, or else lose your mind (and nose)!
A collage of images of the game Shallow Regrets, designed and illustrated by Judson Cowan: a doodle on a purple sticky note showing the title and a sneaky fish tail; two cards showing a giant octopus and a sailfish; the Kraken card, a closeup on a giant eye surrounded by tentacles; shoals with shadows showing the size of what might be lurking below; the green vinyl wallet; a Frod card from the solo expansion that shows a "man" named Frod; a Kelpie card showing a creature that looks like a sea horse with tons of eyeballs.
