Don't forget to check out the new digital version of the tile-placement boardgame Beacon Patrol!
Chart the coastline with friends in the new digital version of the puzzly boardgame Beacon Patrol · Thinky Games
Beacon Patrol is a charming and challenging tile-placement boardgame, one of my favorite co-operative games from the past few years. With its new Steam release you can work together digitally to maneuver your coast guard ships and map the islands of the North Sea.

In today's video I go over my approach in designing print and play games for Postmark games, the lessons we've learnt and what we aim to do for all our future releases. Also useful ideas if you want to design your own roll and write games!
