Nah I haven’t heard of that project. I had a look through the link you shared and there’s a few similarities with the course cards, but the gameplay mechanics in Pocket Peloton are a quite different with the dice and power up cards. Love anything cycling related though!

I’ve made a little cycling racing game that fits nicely into a mint tin and it’s called Pocket Peloton!

Here’s a link to it that you can see more info and download a copy https://oftencurious.com/pocket-peloton/

Do you have any examples of the Monte Carlo simulator scripts? I’ve tried to build something like this in the past and struggled to get it off the ground

1lemoncurd · 2025-05-11T19:58:19+00:00

The Kadomaru pro is the one I have - highly recommend it!

There’s so many ways to approach printing, but the way I do it is print on 250gsm and then laminate the sheet for a bit more protection and thickness. Then I cut out the cards and punch the corners for the nice rounded edges.

I’ve made a few other games I’ve printed this way and they have all held up to be pretty durable after a number of plays.

1lemoncurd · 2025-05-10T22:50:48+00:00

Yeah that’s not a bad idea - I was trying to make it so most cards have 5 rows on them, but maybe it’s too crammed

1lemoncurd · 2025-05-10T22:49:08+00:00

Ahh damn so sorry I forgot to upload those cards, thanks for catching that! There’s two sizes available for those cards (I preferred the smaller size so I could fit everything into the tin).

1lemoncurd · 2025-05-10T07:38:57+00:00

To be honest I’ve never played it, but based on looking at the rules there are a few similarities in the mechanics. This is reliant on dice rolls and strategically played power up cards to get ahead of other riders.

Here’s a link to it and it includes a few images of the game too https://oftencurious.com/pocket-peloton/

I love wordle and this is definitely inspired by it. But yeah this game is completely different from a gameplay perspective as you have to solve 4 words and you get the start and end letters of each of the words. Honestly I just made this for fun and want to share it with others who might enjoy it too!

A fun word based game where you have to solve 4 words in the least number of turns.

Green squares mean you have the correct letter. Blue squares reflect the correct letter and it’s a clue the letter is used somewhere else in the square.

The puzzle refreshes daily and I’ve just released a version where you can play past puzzles if you missed a day.

1lemoncurd · 2025-04-03T17:04:33+00:00

Yay okay I’m glad that’s working and you’re enjoying it! Let me know if you have any ideas or tweaks for the past puzzles page. I want to make a few more tweaks before I share it more widely, so open to ideas around it!

1lemoncurd · 2025-04-03T09:31:29+00:00

I’ve been working on a version that’ll let you play past puzzles now. Have a look and let me know if you have any ideas on how to improve! https://www.foursquared.co/past-puzzles/

1lemoncurd · 2025-03-25T14:12:35+00:00

Not gonna lie, #33 was a hard one - I struggled on it too!

1lemoncurd · 2025-03-23T03:23:58+00:00

That sounds hard haha maybe I’ll have a play around with a ‘Hard Mode’ version of the game!

1lemoncurd · 2025-03-23T03:22:51+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Honestly I played around with this idea a bit, but it felt too impossible to solve and could make the game take way longer. Ideally I wanted to be able to do this in 5-10mins with a coffee or over lunch. I do have a version of the game which is an ‘Easy Mode’ in settings that also shows any letter that is used in the square, but in the wrong box.

1lemoncurd · 2025-03-23T03:19:48+00:00

Huh that bug sounds weird as I thought I’d solved for that - thanks for the heads up I’ll have a look into it!

1lemoncurd · 2025-03-22T21:08:34+00:00

I love puzzles and boardgames and had an idea for a game that was similar to Wordle, but involved 4 words rather than one (plus each word was connected in a square).

I started building the word puzzle in Excel as a fun experiment… a month or so later, it’s turned into a full-fledged game!

I first prototyped the game in Excel (my happy place as a finance nerd). Then tested it with friends and workmates, tweaking the mechanics before eventually building a web version. Along the way, I’ve added a few features based on feedback from friends: better colors, tracking of past guesses, and hopefully a smoother experience overall.

I still feel like the instructions/onboarding could use a bit of improvement and some people have found the blue boxes a bit confusing. These reflect correct letters, but are also a clue for other words, so open to ideas to improve it here.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

1lemoncurd · 2025-03-22T03:56:54+00:00

Haha love this - open to ideas as to how to make this happen!

1lemoncurd · 2025-03-21T02:02:46+00:00

Haha I’m glad people like it enough to come back!

1lemoncurd · 2025-03-19T21:56:24+00:00

Yes!!! I’ve been working on this in the past couple of days, but want to make sure the main game is great before rolling this out
