AI transcription either needs a lot of work or the AIs are trolling us. I saw “never been in a wreck” transcribed as “never been erect”

Thank you to our fans & to the other 4 members of Falling Up Stairs Games for your patience with me these last few weeks. I’ve been going through some tough stuff personally and haven’t been posting. But I think the worst is behind me, and I look forward to making this account much more active!

If you aren’t already following @anderbell.studio , I recommend you remedy that now! Not only are they great creatives, but they are incredibly community minded and generous with sharing their time and expertise

Our website is coming along, but definitely a work in progress, we’d love any candid, unfiltered feedback y’all have for us: www.fallingupstairsgames.com #indiestudio #websiteadvice

Name game time! Looking for your opinions on a name For the hot pot game, I’m leaning toward: Feast & Friends: Mandate of the Hot Pot 1. Like? 2. Dislike? 3. Would you play that game? #GameDev #BoardGames 🎲✂️

Got to have some pool time AND play cards on vacation recently! This was a ton of fun and I love how the video came out #CardGames #VacationFun

I don't only post shit on the internet, sometimes I make games too! ...which I then post on the internet. Anyway! Here's a 🧵 about some games I've made. Most of these use standard components or are pnp, so you might already own them and not realize it!

Off to the library tonight to do some 3d printing for my board game after my day job Maybe one day the studio will take off and game design can be my full time gig. Until then, gotta pay those bills #GameDev #BoardGameDesign

Could have an announcement creeping out of the shadows in the next couple of weeks… 👀 #GameDev #TableTopGames 🎲✂️

Tabletop gaming is at its best when the table is open to everyone. We design games to bring people together, no matter what your game night looks like We’re growing a welcoming community for gamers of all backgrounds. Tag a member of your group, or someone you’re trying to convert to #BoardGames!

How long is it acceptable to take back a move in a board game? I say as long as the next player hasn’t taken their turn yet, it's fair game Where do you draw the line at your table? #BoardGames #FriendlyDebates

Extremely interesting, summarizes a lot of trends in game design over time

Name an underrated game everyone should try For me, it’s Harvest. This is an A tier game that I don’t see get near enough love (Tokaido too; chill, peaceful, plus the “move wherever you want” mechanic is so cool) What’s the hidden gem in your collection everyone needs to play? #BoardGames

New personal best! Incredible game of Earth by Inside Up Games at game night What’s your Earth strategy? Push hard early for the fauna objectives? Pick an action or two to go for then spam it? Something else? #InsideUpGames #BoardGames

Musing: I’ve been toying with a superhero board game idea Players randomly draw a power (ex speedster, psychic) & a weakness (ex. yellow, space rock) Co-op game where you’re part of some sort of society or league Each game draw 1 random Boss & 1 Henchmen from a Rogues deck What do y’all think?

What are your Top 3 favorite strategy board games ever? Here’s mine: 1. Dune – Masterclass adaptation of source material 2. Wingspan – Elegant in its simplicity 3. Pandemic – For creating winnable but stressful-in-a-good-way co-op conditions What are yours? Let’s see what we have in common

Today is my birthday! I’m very excited to play Catan Starfarers, which was an EXCEPTIONAL gift I was given. I love Catan and I love space, so it’s kind of perfect What’s a gift you were given that was just perfect for you? #catan #birthday #boardgame

What’s the next game you want to get on your table? I could really go for a game of Earth, Harvest, Wingspan, or Scythe. Also Pandemic, lol #BoardGames #GameNight

I know that was randomly bot-generated, but honestly it still sounds fun lol #BoardGame
