The Misplay

If you enjoy our podcast, our Bluesky posts, or simply want to support a new game designer, the best way to help is to follow our Kickstarter and sign up to be notified when it launches. 🎲✂️

Writing “Your [Misplay] org chat is made of J-ELLO” or so I’ve been told. Wobbly, unstable, and barely holding together—much like us in these final weeks before Kickstarter. Who’s in charge around here? Anyone? 🫠 @haoleboygames.com

I want to bring that same energy to something the way Sum 41 does when they perform live.

Sands of Crime? More like Sands of Take My Dime! They're down to their final 10 days on Kickstarter! Show your support and help indie designers, like us, bring their games to life! @radishgames.com

10,000 listens! 🎉 Thanks for building alongside us—and hopefully learning from a few of our misplays. 🎲✂️

How do you feel about ties in a 15–30 minute game? 🤔 Should two equally skilled players tie every now and then—or should there always be a winner? Is Connect Four a poorly designed game if two equally skilled players can draw?

We recorded a different kind of episode today. I’d call it a love letter to all the partners and family members of indie board game designers. Finally, an episode your non-gaming partner might actually want to listen to—plus, we play a little Carpool Karaoke. 🎲✂️

Backed Rolling Deep and met Peter C. Hayward today—in that order. @gamemarketwest.bsky.social Pretty cool.

We’re demoing Under One Sky today at Game Market West at the Guildhouse in San Jose! 🎲✂️ And Greg will be there selling the first copies of Pōpoki. He beat us to market! 📈 @spielmas.com

Big thank you to Courtney, The Game Night Collective, The Cruz Room, and Greg Pool for letting me make the trip from SF to demo Under One Sky! @courtneylasch.bsky.social It was a great opportunity to get Under One Sky in front of more players! If you're in the Santa Cruz area, check it out! 🍕🍦

I just backed Sands of Crime on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/rad...

Hey, if you live in the Indy area you should come play my new game with me! I will give you candy! 🌵

Hey! I’m on the newest episode of The Misplay podcast! If you’ve ever wondered what goes into crowdfunding a board game (or want to hear about my newest game 👀) you should def def give it a listen.

The first thing on my to-do list is to make a to-do list. ☑️

Our artist, Zeta, keeps creating the coolest things!

Could you just roll up to PAX West with your prototype, join the open-play spaces, and find a steady flow of players? You’d need a PAX badge, of course. Are there Unpub events you can register for? 🎲✂️

A huge thank you to Board Game Casual, a wonderful sponsor of our show, for creating this special feature to support our Kickstarter journey! We're back from Gen Con and entering the final stretch. Take a look, and if you haven't already, help us reach our first 100 Kickstarter followers! 🎲✂️

Live episode recorded at Lucas Oil Stadium. ✔️ Tune in Tuesday to hear about our FEPH experience, our demo events, a possible new LARP passion, and how much love Zeta’s Under One Sky art received! #GenCon

Hey #GenCon help us out on our quest to 100 followers! We’re indie, we’re podcasting our journey, and our two-player game “cooks” (they say). Help us be seen with a repost, a heart, or a mention to a friend. 🎲✂️
