@matthewchang @realEstateTrent Spent 45 minutes looking for whipped butter at the grocery store. Up and down the aisle.

Sent my wife a picture and she immediately circled a section I checked multiple times.

@itswithinme_ I imagine you’re wanting to test a landing page / utility for users

[Alan @ricksman8]

@itswithinme_ Have not done this specifically but in my day job I’ll do mockups in google sheets or excel with input forms and send those to prospective clients to collect feedback.

My DM is open - can show you a demo if helpful

@RosserJobs Nice! What sorts of games do y’all play?
Been looking for more games aside from Catan and Codenames. A friend recommended a tile game called Hive, and card game called Dominion.
