Had a couple of solo games of #DeathValley from #ButtonShyGames in the bar last night, it’s a two player game but my partner was futzing with photos on the wifi. I lost the first solo game where I hadn’t figured out how the AI scored. Won the second pretty easily, need to try again to see if it was just luck. There’s a hard version which gives the AI extra points.

I love the artwork on the cards but think I prefer it as a two player game.

Had a chilled Bank hol weekend. Got plenty of games to the table. Really enjoy #Verdant it's a go to game for a really nice relax. #Crystallo was a very belated birthday prezzie that I finally got last weekend. It was worth the wait. Really enjoy it even though I suck at it and have yet to win. Am happy that I manged a win at #Stellarion and nearly one at #Nautillion and #Aerion! And #Floriferous is always a joy to play. Finally #RiverWild is becoming a new fave from #ButtonShyGames #BoardGames

Writing a design diary is such a different experience when you already know the answers to every question! Cortiça was designed three years ago.

Still, I hope I can take you into my mindset and challenges at the time.

How would you compress a worker placement game into 18 cards?
In this post about the design of Cortiça, I’ll show you how such a component constraint lead me to discover a new process to concept games.
