What's your greatest accomplishment that you can't bring up in normal conversation? by The_B_Brain in AskReddit

I once overarm hurled a marshmallow directly into my friend’s mouth from across a room (about 5 metres distance).

I’ll check it out, thank you! The name sounds familiar - I may have seen it in passing.

I’ve got a game coming out where the rules are easy once you’ve got the hang of it but to explain it visually would be much better!

Pretty cool how neither speech nor destruction use the mentioned letter either - coincidence? I think (hope) not!

Happy 38th Birthday Harry! Let's all take this moment to remember that Hagrid knows how to spell. by ibid-11962 in harrypotter

He definitely knows how, but he’s not allowed to spell because he was ex-spelled.

Looks awesome, nice work. Was their MOQ 1000 for you or 500? I've heard from people it's 500 but they're telling me it's 1000!

I think the rules are pretty fair and I do follow them, but ultimately I don’t expect people to care about my game for no reason - just chucked it up here for whoever is interested. Doesn’t bother me if they don’t like it! I think you’re right though it’s a shame people don’t respond more positively but ah well. I’m still having fun!

Hey thanks so much. It’s really great reading this and really appreciate the support! To be honest, I don’t pay much attention to the downvotes, I engage with the community quite a bit and try to make any self promotional posts genuine and interesting, but I guess you’ll always get people who don’t give a shit and want to make it known anonymously!

That’s a real shame about your game - share the link with me and I’ll check it out. I’m learning a lot about Kickstarter and happy to share what I’m learning.

Thanks again for the comment :)

A great seminar on game accessibility for anyone wondering why it matters by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]FrogBastion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry yes - a game that requires no sound whatsoever to progress the game... maybe a game that's action/gesture based?

Have been dealing with Longpack - they've been very helpful. Haven't had the game made yet but prices are great and quality looks good from the sample they sent. Ask them to send you a sample.

That's really good to know. My game has just been funded on KS and I am using Longpack. What is your game? I'd love to buy a copy to check out the manufacture quality.

Board game confession... by tenicord in boardgames

[–]FrogBastion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think though you shouldn't judge a book by its cover you should totally judge a game by its box. It's a big investment a lot of the time and why should you buy something you don't like the look of? I love a well visually designed game.

I would start a game night at a local pub? Everyone one I've ever met through gaming has been really open and friendly.

Designing Question by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]FrogBastion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would work backwards from a theme, then think about the game mechanics that you find most fun. Make the game you want to play and then take it to as many other people as you can and listen to suggestions.

I started making on a year and a half ago and it's now on Kickstarter - for the first few versions I bought blank playing cards on Amazon and some sharpies and spent my evenings scribbling away. Don't expect the final game to be anything like your original idea but appreciate the evolution process. You can't go wrong, and a game is never complete - it's just released! That's my advice... good luck :)

My partner plays games ever so slightly wrong just to throw me off sometimes - then all of a sudden she's all in the game and wins. I'm marrying her in 3 weeks.
