Score points by grouping sets of unique clocks together. Player movement on the sundial track is performed by moving grains of sand through their hourglass timer. Each grain that falls allow the player to move along the track in the direction indicated on the hourglass. Just flip the hourglass to move back in the other direction!

Score points by grouping sets of unique clocks next to each other on the board. To score a group, the player must also take a grain of sand from their hourglass, and place it in on one of the clocks in the group. However, they may only place sand on the last ti

This is my entry into the  Weird Giraffe Games 18 card game contest . It is based on the lore of Fire in the Library. 2 or 3 players, 5 minutes, 18 cards. As gifted scholars, you are working with Anuta the First, to gather books for the new Library. Your search will span the 4 sections of knowledge: Fables, Geography, History and War. Each section has 4 or 5 levels of knowledge. Even though you are competing to gather the most knowledge, you must also respect the teachings of Anuta, and share the knowledge you have gathered. The game is a mix of card drafting and set collecting. The rules are simple, with just 2 possible actions on each turn, but they open up a number of choices for strategic players. This game is available to play on Tabletop Simulator . Check out the full rules here:  Rule Book

My mint tin game, Hatching Dragons, currently available at The Game Crafter, is getting an upgrade. I have been developing an expanded game that plays up to 4 players - and also includes a solo mode. The worker placement and drafting mechanics that were the basis of the original are brought over, and I have added a few more worker options, more cards, skill upgrades, more components, and an overall improvement in strategic play. I'm in the process of finalising all the card designs, rules booklet and box art. Stay tuned...

In a first for me, I'm trying my hand at developing a Roll & Write game... or Flip & Write as it is in this case. This is my entry into  The Game Crafter: Staff Roll and Write Challenge . The game is based on piecing together a treasure map from fragments that are flipped over from the deck. So, the name of the game is "Treasure Flip". The fragments contain a section of path and 1 landmark. The landmarks are trees, water and rocks. There are 2 other types of card that may appear. The 'X' marks the treasure at the end of your path, and the Pirate Ship results in shrinking the available island map spaces to avoid pirates coming to shore. Score points from completed paths, groups of landmarks, and some special treasure locations. It is essentially a solo game, but can be played competitively by comparing final scores. As a bonus to you, the components are available online so that you can play for free using your browser, a sheet of paper, and a pen. C
