📢Design on a new edition of Skull Canyon Ski Fest is nearly done! ⛷️I think a lot of players will really enjoy the new changes. The Yeti has a real mood now (impacted by weather - just like all of us!) 😃More info, and a contest, on our new website:

Fresh snow falling and you still have a bit of time to win a free signed copy of Skull Canyon Ski Fest! Rumors of a one-of-a-kind yeti illustration inside the box of this top-rated skiing game.

@BoardGameGhee Now I just want to find the Fairies promo cards. Sadly, wasn't able to make it to OrcaCon due to travel and work. Hope to make it out to BHG again soon though so maybe see you there -- a new Ski Fest edition is in the works!

[Jason Klinke @jasonklinke]

Any of my fellow game designers have a spare Bluesky invite they could share? Hoping to increase reach for some upcoming news. 🙏

@semicoop Glad you had fun! Really curious if you played with our variant rule for collecting more Gear and lift tickets?

In a move nobody saw coming, our friend chose Skull Canyon Ski Fest, which is a fun TtR/Parks hybrid.

The best part is what we call the grudge board where you can see which routes you can steal from others, and also which people already stole your routes. More games need this!

[Jason Klinke @jasonklinke]

@foxbo_games Awesome to see! Congrats Stefan!

#Werbung Wintereinbruch in Deutschland! Also, ab auf die Piste! In "Skull Canyon Ski Fest" gelangt ihr mit dem Lift auf den Berg, um dann durchs Ausspielen von Karten diverse Pisten zu befahren und am Ende des Tages dem Après-Ski zu frönen! Test & Video: https://t.co/p26iY1hdqr

@elizhargrave Pfister's Port Royal would be my go-to. Travels easily, card-based push your luck that allows all ages to compete and I speak from experience as my 10-year old routinely wins.

@fosterthemeeple Just don't try to sneak in Kinder Surprise Eggs...

@rf_seattle @FlatoutGames Douglas fir? Most people seem to identify them as such, even if inaccurate. Rolls off the tongue easier than Token 😜

[Jason Klinke @jasonklinke]

@MistaRauGaming @FlatoutGames @alderac @rf_seattle A great one to add to any collection. I just recently won by a pine cone (tie breaker) and that felt sooo good 😃

[Jason Klinke @jasonklinke]

@MistaRauGaming @KipNoschese You are most welcome! These stickers are great on skis and boards! ⛷️

Joined twitter in 2010. Did almost nothing with it back then. Just my luck that when I finally had a use for it, made some friends, and hit 100 followers...maybe we can double that on the way out?! Gamification!🙃

You can find me on all the other sites by name 🙏

@a_man_possessed @im_super_lame Raise your right hand and get sworn in before you begin. 😂 Have fun with it - my recommendation is pass out various components for them to check out as you present. Making it a bit more of a tactile experience worked well.

[Jason Klinke @jasonklinke]

@a_man_possessed @im_super_lame I just recently did this (for 5th graders as well), but unfortunately no slide deck or other visuals to share. I just winged it and used a prototype as a talking point. 😄 My favorite, unexpected, question from the kids was about the choking hazard labeling on a box. 👀

[Jason Klinke @jasonklinke]

@a_man_possessed Here are a few of the earliest prototypes of Skull Canyon: Ski Fest and the final published version. Made heavy use of dry-erase markers, Lego, random bits from other games, and lots of paper and tape.
