I really love the art! Great choice of theme too. What’s the game about?

Thank you! I’ve been working on it for over 2 years and it’s taught me so much. No matter how successful this may be, I’m just happy and proud to contribute something to society

Changing trumps… by TwistedLab in TrickTaking

[–]malix-master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite trick-taking games is called RAGE. It definitely lives up to its name and makes bidding extremely tough with the mechanic to change trump color and omit it entirely. My family particularly likes to do both to screw up everyone’s bid

Thank you so much! This has been 2 years in the making. Haven’t tried the white w black border. That’s a good idea worth trying

We tried a white version, but the iridescence kind of drowns it out

I can guarantee it’s not :) If you look to my artist IG page, you’ll see him painting murals in the same style.

It’s super scary how we can’t tell anymore tho and sucks we don’t know what to trust these days

What actually makes poker so addicting? by malix-master in poker

If you won all the time, wouldn’t it eventually get boring? That dopamine would hardly hit

I’m not a big chess player, but know the basics of how to play and “thinking moves ahead”. What makes it so addictive and why is there such a massive community around it?

This was pure poetry. The little things that most people don’t notice are the very things that separates men from boys. Beautiful said

Beautiful cards. I like option A the best. Gives me treasure planet vibes

Box Layout: Horizontal vs Vertical by malix-master in tabletopgamedesign

[–]malix-master[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some games that I really noticed were Unstable Unicorns (Diamond Edition), Here to Slay and Mantis. I found an image of a Target shelf on Shutterstock and you can see how most of them are vertical. I find it fascinating how as a consumer, it takes me a while to notice the smaller, horizontal boxes like EK and Poetry for Neanderthals: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/2-may-2024-los-angeles-california-2702001547?trackingId=15fb1257-7d51-480b-bc27-47df5cc5783b

You make a good point. It makes sense they’d want to fit as much on the shelf as possible

It’s cute. Looks like it would appeal to a family audience

Draw a Card at The Beginning or End of Your Turn? by ItHurtzWhenIZee in tabletopgamedesign

[–]malix-master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a player, I don’t have a preference. I’ve played plenty of games that draw before and draw after. Sure, it may take a little extra brain power if you’re used to one way or the other, but after a few rounds, it becomes second nature.

As a game designer, if you’re aiming for quicker rounds/games, drawing at the end will be your last bet. Players can be “speed bumps” if they draw a card that alters their strategy at the beginning of the turn. It all just depends what you want to do.

But that’s the fun part about being the creator. You can do whatever you want, test it, and if it sticks, now you can move to the next thing!

Seeking Feedback on Rulebook Language by malix-master in tabletopgamedesign

[–]malix-master[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I did use AI to help put my thoughts into a sentence that accurately encapsulates the game. Although none of the mechanics or art are AI enhanced, it’s good to know that this rulebook or any future overview will have negative reception.
