Tl;dr - This game has breathed life back into the social deduction genre for me. It feels almost like a board game ... https://t.co/nRVp3Frep3

Just One is a bit of fun that's just too easy so I recommend house ruling it. But given it's the festive season and large groups are getting together (and getting too drunk to learn games) this could be a solid pickup if you do house rule it. https://t.co/bJ2LZxPwMA

@sysifuscorp Must be a crushing feeling, sorry to hear that! Hoping you bounce back stronger than ever.

Playtest notes for Sep. Balancing and game duration are huge undertakings - anyone have any tips? My games tend to take too long to play from start to finish.

@boardgameoracle is your website down? Not showing any lists on the homepage and searching games results in a 404 page. I'm using the Australia site.

I'm so happy that this first playtest of the new game went well. After 8 months spent on the old game, then the difficult decision to rebuild the game from scratch, the feedback is resoundingly positive and people can't wait to play again!

@OldKingsCrown This is my fav art I've seen in any board game! Keen to playtest anything too if the time zone works for me :)

[Bored Games Lab @boredgameslab]

@sysifuscorp @BoilingPtGame Must be a wonderful feeling!

Victory points have been a staple in board games for ages but what do you think of them as the go-to win condition? https://t.co/pOhiEyoADc
