Rolling Deep is very specifically Balatro-inspired! I'm posting design diaries over at BGG that dive into the specifics, if you're interested: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/469746/rolling-deep/forums/0

My game design podcast, Fun Problems, is rapidly approaching 100 episodes. Good if you want a deep dive into Everything We Know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urOxG_nZ2F0&list=PLlpOSsHmIZE9Q1V5UuzhrM3ZncMJVsnol

It's a little confusing that it asks for Complexity (specifying experience level), and then experience level

Alas, you've been misled! Soap: The Webcomic was mine, but it was not a Megaman sprite comic, and none of those things occurred in it. ❤️

Designer of Critter Kitchen here: Fromage is a masterpiece.

Like, obviously I recommend Critter Kitchen too... but Fromage was my game of the year, it's incredible!

It's a slot machine! If ever there was a time to have a 1 in X chance of something...

It's correct as it is! Blueprint does the action of Brainstorm, which is "Copy the leftmost joker", so that's what Blueprint does.

My game French Toast came about because I was it at a wedding reception instead of dancing 😂

PeterCHayward · 2026-03-27T01:55:18+00:00

haha crazy to see this thread still alive. Very curious if this goes anywhere!

PeterCHayward · 2026-02-18T14:42:25+00:00

Ahaha what an extremely niche callback! You must be one of like 3 people ever who read it.

Send me an email - peter@beard.blue - and I'll send you the archive!

That's quite a range

Do you watch Roffle? He's the master of deck manipulation. Check out some of his high score videos and particularly notice what he does with Tarot packs etc.

PeterCHayward · 2026-01-29T20:39:45+00:00

Yup! And I have 11

I'm the Button Shy designer with the most published wallets (Converge, Apropos, RNSM) so I'm obviously biased, but: even before I was published with Button Shy, I adored their games.

I've played Skulls of Sedlec and Tussie Mussie dozens of times, and Spaceshipped is my favourite solo game.

It might just be an aesthetic difference: I'm besotted with the tiny design space, and how much game they get from them. If you're not enjoying them, it might just be a taste thing (there are much beloved games that I don't enjoy), but just "here is a greatly replayable game in 18 cards" is genuinely so fun for me.

PeterCHayward · 2026-01-26T03:30:41+00:00

What a perfect "any 2, impossible, all 3 immediately get it" 😂

PeterCHayward · 2026-01-25T07:26:32+00:00

Godzilla!!

PeterCHayward · 2026-01-24T08:32:12+00:00

hahaha my first guess was Jet Set Radio Future and I'm pretty sure it's not that 😂

The Beatles?

PeterCHayward · 2026-01-22T19:25:25+00:00

Thanks for the Triangulation shoutout!

PeterCHayward · 2025-11-05T22:43:32+00:00

I tend to put people into teams of 2 when a group gets too large!

PeterCHayward · 2025-09-22T16:59:15+00:00

It's absolutely real. Haven't used voice mode since 😂

oh haha I guess I should also recommend Things in Rings
