Hello folks, welcome back to the blog.
I’m heading into my summer schedule this week. I have Canada Day and Friday off this week, then I have all my Fridays and Mondays off for the month of July and all my Fridays off for the month of August. Will I use this time productively? I’d like to say yes, but history has shown that I probably won’t. Still, fingers crossed.
Just in time for the time off, I started working on some new board game ideas yesterday. I’ve circled back around to my adventure-style board game. I’ve played some new board games recently that gave me some new ideas for movement rules. It changes some other game aspects I had, but that’s part of the process I guess.
I took same unplayed games off the stack, just to read the rules. I don’t think I’ll be playing them anytime soon, but it helps to come up with new ideas for my game. Black Gold and Planet Steam are more commodity speculation games, but if I decide to go with my idea to have each character have a food supply that they must maintain, then I might be able to use some of the concepts.
The summer season means I have very few new shows to watch. I’ve been watching a lot more board game related videos of YouTube. Dice Tower Con was this past weekend and I’m thinking that might be something I’d like to attend someday.
That’s all for this week. Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday. Carja V.
