design

I Tweeted a bit about cooperative games last week and it stirred up a bit of a storm. Some agreement, some strong disagreement, some strange stories and anecdotes. It really clarified just how polarizing cooperative games are.

I love multi-use cards, and as a result, they're a part of almost every design I've crafted. The exceptions being Druids, Rail Contango, and currently Dungeon Time, Fun! I love them. I am by no means an authority on multi-use cards, or anything really, but I've experimented so much with multi-use cards that I feel confident writing about them.

I played my copy of Rising Sun for the first time this weekend and I was very pleasantly surprised. Last year I played the much lauded Blood Rage at long last and hated it. I hated it almost immediately and spent my entire play of it wanting to leave the table.

I'm not huge on New Year's Resolutions, mostly. The thing is, I'm always trying to lose weight, I'm cool with the amount of alcohol I consume, and I'm doing my best to be more positive.
