Another one of the legendary kami was Ebisuten, the patron of fisherman and prosperity. He was the only wholly-Japanese member of the #shichifukujin. In #Hatsumode, he resides at Nishinomiya Jinja, and bears the Never-Empty Purse. #boardgames #japanese #shinto #ebisu

Valentine's Day is mainly a western holiday, but the #Shichifukujin had their own goddess of love. Benzaiten was the patron of happiness through love, beauty, and music. In #Hatsumode, she resides at Itsukushima Jinja, and bears the Robe of Feathers. #boardgames #japanese #shinto

Working on stretch goals for my #hatsumode kickstarter. Decided that I don't have enough in-game references to the 7 Lucky Gods, so I'm going to try to make promo cards representing them. They might even affect gameplay, not sure yet. #boardgames #shichifukujin #japanese

Wow, less than 100 days until (theoretical) launch! Getting to the wire now, getting quotes, setting up reviews, and finalizing my KS preview page. But right now, I need followers, likes, and shares. Can't do this show without an audience! #hatsumode #boardgames #japanese

[Blue Fool Games @bluefoolgames]

So tell me, what does everyone think of the trend of Japanese-themed tabletop games? There seem to be new ones on Kickstarter every day. Do you enjoy them (I hope!)? Too many? Too few? Let us know; it'll be really helpful. #bluefoolgames #japanese #boardgames #hatsumode

Components for Hatsumode: 1 map, 142 cards, and 4 tokens. Seems simple, no? Apparently not, since the real total is 169 cards (there are actually 63 goshintai cards). Social media posts are a great way of proofreading. Sigh. #boardgames #hatsumode #japanese #bluefoolgames

[Blue Fool Games @bluefoolgames]

More cards from Hatsumode! These are the Goshintai cards, which are used for both movement and combat. In combat, players can stack the holy items to raise their strength or essence enough to defeat the yokai. #boardgames #hatsumode #goshintai #japanese

[Blue Fool Games @bluefoolgames]

Anyone think the game industry has exceeded the interest in Japanese-themed games? I hope not! I designed Hatsumode due to a love of the culture and history, and I've been a fan of the Seven Lucky Gods since I was a teenager. #hatsumode #boardgames #japanese #shichifukujin

[Blue Fool Games @bluefoolgames]

Faithful Fools, I have news! I have updated my website, https://t.co/RxMRibPUPk, to have a landing page to promote the upcoming Hatsumode Kickstarter! Please, check it out, and share it with your friends. #boardgames #hatsumode #kickstarter

I just backed Blazon on @Kickstarter https://t.co/rl1jpBi6so

Welcome to the New Year! Did you practice hatsumode and visit a shrine?
We're down to four months until the (optimistic) date of the Kickstarter for Hatsumode! It's more and more real every day. This might actually happen! #hatsumode #boardgames #japanese #bluefoolgames

[Blue Fool Games @bluefoolgames]

Five years ago, I hyped up 2017 as the Year of the Fool, with the hope to publish one of my games. Since then, I've published one game (not that year, not that game). Now, I'm still trying, still hoping. Wish me luck in 2022! #boardgames #cardgames #newyears2022 #bluefoolgames

Thanks to advice from some Japanese gamers, Hatsumode has been revised to be more culturally accurate. Some culture issues, some confusion (mine), and a bunch of spelling issues. I feel much better about my use of Japanese culture and history. #hatsumode #japanese #boardgames
