@MarcelineLeiman :-) It's just my catch all word for bad things. It often gets that same reaction when I use it in face to face conversation :-)

[Lucas Gentry @LGentryDesign]

@gamesandbourbon As much as I don't want to admit it, having a game on BGA on average reduces the chance I'll buy the physical version. (For GREAT games, it will make me want to buy it!, but for OK games -- most games -- I play it a few times in BGA and don't feel the need to play it any more.)

[Lucas Gentry @LGentryDesign]

@Nick__Bentley For me, one of the biggest draws to this game is that @MarcelineLeiman worked on it! She's great!

[Lucas Gentry @LGentryDesign]

@ConnieVDC Wow! I just got the chance to play Apiary, and It. Was. Amazing. After 60% of one play, I was already ready to declare it tied for favorite or by itself my favorite worker placement game. Fantastic job. You made an amazing game. Thank you for sharing your art with us.

@wwizardgames Yes, for games that have lots (200+) of cards that need shuffled together when playing, like Race for the Galaxy or Terraforming Mars. No for most other games.

@LGentryDesign @buttonshy It's so good! Congrats on the successful campaign.

[Lucas Gentry @LGentryDesign]

Thanks for all of you who have backed FantasyForm, my newest game published by @buttonshy ! With 17 hours left on the kickstarter, it's passed $44k, from its minimum goal of $2k. I've been looking forward to this game becoming reality for SO long! https://t.co/zjEMZTfppl

We’re very excited to dive into FantasyForm - the newest solo offering from Button Shy. The spiritual successor to SpaceShipped, we think this one was worth the wait! @buttonshy

[Lucas Gentry @LGentryDesign]

Wow, this game sure looks better than this now :-)

[Lucas Sorenson @LucasSorenson6]

I almost forgot, I also got a couple playtests in for FantasyForm, a sequel/successor to SpaceShipped

SpaceShipped is one of the games that got me interested in game design in the first place. This one got lost in the mix during a crazy week, but I can't wait to dig in some more

[Lucas Gentry @LGentryDesign]

I missed the original Starforged kickstarter, so I backed this one immediately!

Michelle from Second Star to the Left made a preview video of my FantasyForm game (on kickstarter now!) . Such a fun video! https://t.co/4axq6dsgFY

[Lucas Gentry @LGentryDesign]

@stuffByBez With Terraforming Mars, I'm totally fine with 15 cards in front of me to choose from, but when I played Smash Up, an arguably much less complex game, I felt overwhelmed when I had 8.

[Lucas Gentry @LGentryDesign]

@buttonshy And they've released the (so amazing!) cover art for the (I'm so excited about this!) first expansion that comes included free with the base game in the Kickstarter! (This is so rad!)

[Lucas Gentry @LGentryDesign]

Just when I thought it couldn't be cooler to have a game published, @buttonshy releases the art for the first expansion, Frozen Over, that comes free in the Kickstarter. Oh my goodness, it looks so amazing!
