Earlier this month, the Space-Cast had guest #BloodOnTheClocktower designer Steven Medway.

Host Space-Biff (Daniel Thurot) speaks with Steven about improper use of timekeeping apparatuses, unreliable identities, player elimination, and how chaos fosters memorable stories.

The question of "why felt?" in the #BloodOnTheClocktower components, gets discussed a lot by people when they begin investigating a #DIY set.

The design of the game, using felt-backed tokens in a felt-lined Grimoire box, is another significant reason why I (and the game designers) assert this cannot feasibly be a Print-and-Play game. Not even with lots of printable documents like at https://diy.bloodontheclocktower.rocks/

So, why is felt so important? And what felt should we use when making our own?

Got No Dashii in my first game at Clocktower Con last night, a 15p game of Trouble with Violets. Managed to win with a poisoned Empath beside me!

What a tense way to start the con

So Clover is probably the most versatile game in my collection at this point. Got it at the start of the year, and haven’t yet found a single person who didn’t really enjoy it. Plus, it can play with almost any player count, despite what the box says. 2 players is a bit more thinky, and once you get to 7+ you have to improvise some components, but it’s totally doable.

Highly recommend it if you want a great word game!
