Details about the next project

The next project is called the PnP Bundle, and it's a partnership with Florian Fiedler. The bundle is three games:

  • Centi: a game from Florian about building poker hands and filling in polyomino shapes.
  • Rooftop Roses: a game from myself about dice rolling, area control, and planting roses. Illustration / art by Parker Simpson.
  • Echoes of Tomorrow: a game from our contest winner, Alec Hoptroff. It's an 18-card game about defeating the demons in your nightmare.

Three very different games, all print-and-play. Check it out on Gamefound: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/florianfiedler/pnp-bundle-1?ref=search#/section/project-story
