So cool to see Gentleman Bandit included in this roundup of micro-games!
Love love love Barclay & Bee's book club concept ... what a genius conceit to learn about and share all the amazing games out there ✨
This month, we read a series of "micro-games", which is only in quotes because we technically don't think one of them qualifies, but it's easier than saying "micro-games and also a one-pager".
Open this thread for the full list because there are 6 of them!
"If The Odyssey made you want to play a game, it's probably Agon that's gonna scratch that itch." -- Judd Karlman.
Couldn't ask for a better endorsement! Jump in to mythic adventures with a game all about epic deeds. Grab the book from the Evil Hat website, or the PDF here: johnharper.itch.io/agon
Annihilation is about a summer in a beautiful wilderness on the coast that brings four strangers closer together as they work for a crusty old lighthouse keeper.
Ride or Die challenges are (usually) resolved with one-roll, ranking all the participants' outcomes before each player narrates their action and consequences in the challenge.
Band-Aids & Bullet Holes is live on Kickstarter! Tell your own bloody, John Wick-inspired revenge story in about as much time as it takes to watch one. It's a deckbuilder RPG named after a Taylor Swift lyric. Check it out now!
SURPRISE! 💜📣👀
We're so happy to announce that, thanks to our pals at @sixoneindie.com, we've shadow-dropped Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To on Nintendo Switch! AHHHH!!

Thanks to everyone who’s picked it up already, and keep spreading the word about this!
