Next week! A few things I love about it (biased, I know):
- puzzly and very interactive
- how you build the maze for your opponent is tied directly to how much movement you have to navigate the maze they’re making for you
- Mage minis that physically carry the gnome meeples!

Out of Sorts is a real-time memory game about being abducted by aliens to organize their library. It rivals Wilmot's Warehouse for sheer creativity while still carving out its own celebration of what it means to be human. I love this one. My review: https://t.co/3guAMPPe0q

I’m mostly over on here now. Same
Tag but without the “j” (made it before all the other Connor Wakes this time!)

EXCITING NEWS:
Most major mainstream online retailers of board games (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc) do not list game designers on their websites. One of our important initiatives has been to get designers listed by these sites.

@foxbo_games Yeah, it changed a lot while I was designing it, and then during development, @charliemccarron had the great idea of making it so you’re actually picking up and delivering the gnomes instead of it just being a tacked on point system. That really tied it all together.

Also, if you’re interested in that sort of thing, I wrote a design diary about the very winding journey it took (there was a brief moment where it almost became a trick taking roll and write, but I’m glad I steered clear of that 😅)

@mrmatthew They’ve done a great job with it. Especially the Mage minis that actually hold the gnomes they carry around the maze!

[Connor Wake @connorjwake]

Hedge Mage is relaunching on the 26th! The game’s come a long way since it’s Patchwork prototype back in May 2020. Its also how I met so many great people through playtesting it online in those early lockdown days. So it’s got a special place in my heart.

[Connor Wake @connorjwake]

It’s a weird, loopy, brain twisting game of simultaneously building one hedge maze and while running through another. If that sounds interesting, check out the pre launch page here! https://t.co/zJe4VyVUyn
