If the box of miscellanous components is out it can only mean one thing: it's prototyping time!

@SuperBeeBg @aireconuk @DrandaGames Yeah, we're still fans of Pandemic but we do feel co-op games have improved on what it set up and Solar Storm is the perfect example. I definitely would not mind swapping my copy of Pandemic for Solar Storm...

We ended our visit on a playtest of Solar Storm from @DrandaGames (due on Kickstarter this year). We found it a very tight and stream-lined co-op game in the vein of Pandemic... but in space. We enjoyed it muchly!

@Andy_at_8 @aireconuk @DrandaGames Yeah, we shared the same fate...they tempted us with the promise of those shiny 'Survior' badges but they faded from our grasp like a mirage....

We melt our minds with Akrotiri from @Zmangames_ A very neat and tightly-designed strategy game, although a day of gaming rendered us almost unable to handle the necessary visual processing!

How can you not love the adorable The Forest Dragon by @GamesHandiwork ? Thoroughly enjoyed this - a light game with tonnes of character.

@platocaves peruses the legendary wall of cats from @stuffByBez (our own Two-Face inspired co-contribution turned out slightly unsettling) before we sit down to try out the manic Kitty Cataclysm which Bez was trialling at the show.

Trying out the 2-player version of Assembley from @WrenGames - An intriguing simple-yet-complex puzzle game. Final result: we lost...

First up, we have Wise Frog Richard @platocaves unleashing his inner arsonist in Great Fire of London from @MedusaGamesUK - Great fun and a delicious mix of competetive co-operation

Today for #InternationalWomensDay I would like to introduce you to some women who design #boardgames. I won't get to everyone -- please RT and add more!

[Wise Frog Games @WiseFrogGames]

Looking forward to a game of Wingspan tonight to warm up for our trip to Airecon tomorrow... @aireconuk @stonemaiergames

[Wise Frog Games @WiseFrogGames]

@NoPunIncluded Excellent! Our pre-ordered copy arrives this week so this is perfect timing...

[Wise Frog Games @WiseFrogGames]

Incidentally, we love using playing cards as quick stand-ins for game prototypes. It's not always 100% perfect but it saves a lot of time compared to cutting up record cards - although that's inevitably the next step...

[Wise Frog Games @WiseFrogGames]

It's the weekend which means it's game prototyping day! Today's foray includes some Hooded Robin-related adventures...

[Wise Frog Games @WiseFrogGames]

@Bruno_Faidutti @JoBrandonPoet @BrunoCathala @EditionsMatagot That is sadly true... But it didn't stop me making a fool of myself and pretending to be a raptor! :)

[Wise Frog Games @WiseFrogGames]

Another game of Raptor and another crushing defeat at the hands of @JoBrandonPoet despite eating 75% of her scientists... Great game though, courtesy of @Bruno_Faidutti @BrunoCathala and @EditionsMatagot

Some impressionable friends roped into playtesting our latest prototype of Salamander

[Wise Frog Games @WiseFrogGames]

@NoPunIncluded True. It is the greatest bauble of all...

[Wise Frog Games @WiseFrogGames]

@actualol This looks like an interesting twist. We were playing some classic Carcassonne last night so my interest is definitely piqued!
