Scott StarkeyBy coincidence, Kevin Levy and I had games that seemed to be inspired by the same source: inspired from Hotwheels-scale racing, & diverged strongly from there. It was cool to compare his "Sprite Spirit Speedway" right after my game, played with Josh Bristol, Amanda Brazee, and Rachel Davidson. It featured whimsical pixies, and the template choices were limited by the gear chosen. Lovely game design. Kevin shared that this was playtest#79 for it. Quite fun!4/🧵 <a href="https://hoosier.social/tags/Protospiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Protospiel</a> <a href="https://hoosier.social/tags/BoardGameDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BoardGameDesign</a>

Scott StarkeyThis weekend I was at <a href="https://hoosier.social/tags/ProtospielKnoxville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProtospielKnoxville</a>, and met a bunch of lovely people.While it was a smaller event than some others, the <a href="https://hoosier.social/tags/Protospiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Protospiel</a> spirit was there. In fact, it felt like one of the original Protospiels from Michigan back in the 2000s, which is a complement. A weekend jam with a short break for an industry roundtable, where we intensively & iteratively playtest each other's designs.I am taking home some FANTASTIC FEEDBACK on my games, and some great ideas in general. 1/🧵

Scott StarkeyLive today from <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/ProtospielChicago" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProtospielChicago</a>! If you're into <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/GameDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GameDesign</a>, you will benefit yourself by the <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/Protospiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Protospiel</a> series of design conventions which are mostly clustered around the Midwest, but slowly spreading beyond that. I will attempt to give updates periodically about the games I play here, with permission of the designers.

Scott StarkeyFinished up the evening with Eli's masterwork party game "Story Board". Players simultaneously generate silent movies using a limited hand of title boards, shared props. Players make the movie as a sequence of pictures ON THEIR PHONE and then present it to the group.

Scott StarkeyAnother chance to play my "Hell's Kitchen" game. Found an overpowered card which donated play. I need to continue testing all the various combo-wombos, and refining the rules. <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/gameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gameDev</a> <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/gameDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gameDesign</a> <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/boardGameDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boardGameDesign</a> <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#games</a> <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/Protospiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Protospiel</a>

Scott StarkeyThen I played "The Writing of the Gods, part 1" based on the short story by Jorge Luis Borges. I'm not familiar with that story, but enjoyed the game anyway. It's a tense solitaire tile-laying game that evoked feelings of Knizia's Ra and solitaire dominoes. (But much better than dominoes!) Play tiles from your hand, compelled to follow suit or color, in order to get 20 combos. In addition, must simultaneously work on 2 minigames: arrange 8 colored sun tiles and discard tiles. You lose by running out of tiles or losing civilization to the sandy wastes. I felt euphoria and relief upon winning!<a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/gameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gameDev</a> <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/gameDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gameDesign</a> <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/boardGameDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boardGameDesign</a> <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#games</a> <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/Protospiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Protospiel</a>
