Was very excited at what was delivered yesterday. Thank you @bicyclecards for turning my game into your game!

[CharlieH @HoopCATGames]

#Origins #Unpub #Escape First is Worst! Second is Best! Up to 6 players in 30 minutes (even if Unpub has a strict no more than 4 chairs per table rules).

[CharlieH @HoopCATGames]

Played some terrific prototypes in the #Unpub room this morning. (SpaceRace, Zoomies, GreenForest, Bubbles). Now time for some #Firebreak from now until 6:30)

[CharlieH @HoopCATGames]

Brandon, Jeff. & Christopher sat down to try #WalledCities in #Unpub room at #Origins. They had fun playing, and gave some really useful playtest feedback.

[CharlieH @HoopCATGames]

Almost there... If you are looking for a family-friendly/child-friendly game to put on the table, you could be the backer to put this one over the top.

Two-player variant of EscapeThePark worked well, my wife rescued 21 of her campers to my 17. This prototype hugely benefitted from last weekend's feedback from Unpub playtesters.

[CharlieH @HoopCATGames]

A few Unpubs ago, families were enjoying a prototype named Lady of the Diamonds. A few years later, that game is now live on Kickstarter as Lands of Oz. You have until 31 March to back and get your family a copy.

Why would a serious gamer choose to back #LandsOfOz? An Unpub attendee made a great case after trying this past weekend. "My spouse won't ever play the games I like best with me. But she would play #LandsOfOz with me."

Weekend recap @unpub!
Played Escape the Park by @HoopCATGames, where 2nd is best and 1st is worst. It was really fun and easily playable by my 8yo 🥳

[CharlieH @HoopCATGames]

Firebreak is set up and ready to go at #Unpub table H6. Can your team control the windblown wildfires?

Played Escape the Park by @HoopCATGames. It’s a super fun, puzzley first-is-worst-second-is-best game!

[CharlieH @HoopCATGames]

All set up and ready to go with Escape the Park. First is Worst, Second is Best. Table H6 (in the back) at Unpub.

[CharlieH @HoopCATGames]

Lands of Oz Kickstarter (published by Escape Velocity) has gone live ! Excited to see this come to life. Of the games I have designed, this one is the most family friendly and the most child friendly.

[CharlieH @HoopCATGames]

@GreatBigTable Thanks! The game has improved so much from the version you tried years ago. Yet still no publisher (sigh) despite some contracts over the years. Latest version will be on the table (again) on Unpub Sunday next weekend.

[Steven Cole @steveongames]

Our first Kickstarter project in a few years just went live! Lands of Oz from @HoopCATGames. Please consider check it out, thanks!

@brucecothinks @drwictz @partygamecast I introduced a new edge rule after that playtest that I still think of as the Bruce rule.

[Steven Cole @steveongames]

Almost ready... coming soon!

[CharlieH @HoopCATGames]

Been a while since I put the Firebreak prototype on a table...

[CharlieH @HoopCATGames]

@drwictz Thanks @drwictz for the mention. Yes, #EmergencyBroadcast was published last summer. #SweetSuccess, despite the BGG entry, was never published. My cooperative wind-driven wildfire control game #Firebreak still has a loyal following if I ever find a publisher willing to release.

[CharlieH @HoopCATGames]

@PaulOwenGames We can beat hard mode. (but not guaranteed). Inferno difficulty I find impossible, yet I keep it for those who desire the seemingly impossible co-op challenge.

[CharlieH @HoopCATGames]

Too much burning = a loss in #Firebreak game w/20 yr old son played with difficulty set to hard.
