Designer diary: NASCARD
by Guillem Coll Nascard aims to capture the excitement and feel of big racing games, but condenses that experience into a deck of just 110 cards. The challenge, however, was precisely that: how could we represent a race—complete with overtaking, risk, car management, tires, and fuel—without a board, without miniatures, and using only cards? And, above all, h…

Publisher Diary: Fadenfroh
by Julian Steindorfer Where and when does this story start? Let me try to untangle the thread and tell you how Fadenfroh* came to be. *(a German word creation merging the words “thread” (Faden) and “colorful” (farbenfroh). Does this story start in June 2025 at the Austrian Game Design meeting? I walked by Alexander Pfister's table and saw a game I had never…

Designer Diary: From Spore to Underwood
by Remo Conzadori By Remo Conzadori & Andrea Mainini Sometimes, a game begins with a simple idea that refuses to grow. Other times, it just needs the right collaboration to finally take root. A Mechanic Looking for a Game For a few months, I had been experimenting with a “sowing” mechanic. I was intrigued by the idea, but all my attempts felt flat—confined t…

Designer Diary: Bake or Break
by cafestorybook Bake or Break started in a somewhat unusual place for a board game...behind the counter of my cafe in Osaka, Japan. I run a picture book cafe called Cafe Storybook, where people come not only for the picture-book-themed food and drinks, but also to read books and spend time together. The cafe looks peaceful and relaxed from the outside. But…

From the King of Siam via Afghanistan to Sweden and back to Berlin: Upland & Prairie
by Peer Sylvester Game design is a mix of experimentation and inspiration. If you condensed a description of Upland & Prairie down to a single sentence, you’d be excused for thinking I’ve simply remade The King is Dead: ‘Place one of three colours of marker on a board, then take one for yourself, and whoever has the most markers of the type that wins on the…

Designer Diary - Oil Rock
by BGG Cranio Diary written by Marco Piola Caselli If I had to describe in a few words the process that turned Oil Rock into the game it is today, I’d say it’s a story of oil, ambition, and collaboration. It’s the result of a long journey full of twists and turns;from the initial chaotic sketch through months of conceptual development to the awarding ceremon…

Oh, What's Inside?
by Justin Bell I spent most of the last few years turning down opportunities to review legacy and campaign games. However, I turned that idea on its head at this year’s edition of Gen Con by picking up not one, not two, but SEVEN games that fit the description of a sizable tabletop investment. So, I added the following games to the “bag of hauling” in Indy:…

Designer Diary: Rival Seas
by David Ausloos The First Spark (No Meeples Were Harmed) When I started developing Rival Seas, I revived a peculiar little ritual from the making of Dreamscape, one that had somehow become part superstition, part creative compass, and, if I’m honest, part excuse to avoid getting down to "serious" work. One that has helped me kickstart every project since. I…

Only the Cream

Designer Diary: Buried Memories, Creating from Chaos
by Kristian Amundsen Østby Creating Memories Two years ago, I stood on the show floor at SPIEL Essen with my daughter Maria, watching strangers play a game we'd made together. That game was Gardlings, and it was hers as much as mine. It was her first design, my however-many-th. And seeing strangers enthusiastically play her game wasn’t just a proud memory fo…
