Matt Worden Games

The public commentary and whims of hobbyist game designer, Matt Worden. Outdoors stuff, family stuff, food, beer, cats ... sometimes games and game design.

@KurtBenkert This story of commentary makes me think this game will be more difficult for casual, once-in-a-while play ... will non-hard-core gamers be able to enjoy it?

@KFAN1003 @PaulCharchian @PAOnTheMic @iHeartRadio Good luck, @PaulCharchian, on your new adventure! You'll be missed on the local media scene.

@NFLHitman33 And that insta-stop cut is killer!

A holiday season reminder that my casual deduction/bluffing 18-card game "Bird Feeder Frenzy" works great as a $10 stocking stuffer.

It's available here: https://t.co/Z4yrJqjZBD

@gamesandbourbon I'll have to check it out.

As I've gotten stuck in writing the rule book for First Footholds (ToD#2), I've leaned back into a favorite topic -- American Football.

This time, it's a yahtzee type dice-roller with a more casual focus, and a target for the VHS Box contest at TGC.

[Matt Worden Games @MattWordenGames]

Okay fellow 1-person-show indie game designers, here's my deal:

I get stuck during "the finish" ... I *love* the shiny-object new game idea phase, and I **love,love** the crunchy problem-solving development phase ... and then **firey hate** writing the final rules doc.

Help?

[Matt Worden Games @MattWordenGames]

For those of you that like the artistry involved in making of movies, I *highly* recommend the "Music of John Williams" documentary available on Disney+.

It's almost 2 hours long, but guarantee you'll be surprised at some of the scores that Williams wrote that we all just know.

Spending the weekend in a rental cabin on the shores of Lake Superior and they have this as a wall decoration.

Have any of you played Carrom? (This set looks like a multi-game board for more than just Carrom.)

[Matt Worden Games @MattWordenGames]

I just back Epic Metal Monster Coins from the folks at @thegamecrafter ... https://t.co/2HDGkTWcxf

This is a little social media test ... running this on X, FB, and BlueSky ...

If you see this, please respond in some manner (like, thumb, emoticon, comment, etc.) ... thanks!

(p.s. whenever I swipe the word "thanks" on my phone, it always first chooses "tacos" instead. 😉 )

Seeing the BttF Musical in Minneapolis today!

Also, while in Germany, we got to play one of our family favorites (especially for our former exchange student, Aline): Web of Spies by @TheGubsGuy

Got my Troubadeck from @charliemccarron ... and he's teasing a lyrics deck for next year!

@C_M_Young *typo: puerile = people

(Nice word choice, auto-correct!)

[Matt Worden Games @MattWordenGames]

@C_M_Young While this feature isn't industry defining, I think it seems useful for puerile primarily using their phones for the camera (just came off a 10- day holiday with lots of pictures taken, so might be recency bias for me) ...

Note: I'm not an Apple user.
