There's no bluffing, no real strategy, and yet somehow it captures the feel of a high stakes Liars Dice game in a seedy backroom somewhere. Such a cool trick!

Growing up playing NES, I never internalized that games are even meant to be finished. I get as far as you can, eventually I stop playing, maybe I come back, maybe I don't.

Since the only turnover that happens is what you yourself create.

That way every card can also combo with itself.19 Sep 2026 15:55 +0000at://did:plc:53yqb2feyzrn3ig4ognj3wod/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvv2a6rxc22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/perryjon.bsky.social/post/3mvqckyauek2pWhy does the physical version of Party House have a dynamic shop instead of a static shop? I've gotten this question occasionally since the Kickstarter launched (I thought I'd get it more tbh). See my answer below.17 Sep 2026 18:41 +0000at://did:plc:53yqb2feyzrn3ig4ognj3wod/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvqckyauek2phttps://bsky.app/profile/perryjon.bsky.social/post/3mvpxzg4jnk25Christian Kudahl and I were just on the Fun Problems podcast to talk about 'framework games."

That latter version seems more likely to confuse non-nerds, but that's just a guess.11 Sep 2026 23:35 +0000at://did:plc:53yqb2feyzrn3ig4ognj3wod/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvbq7lyme22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/perryjon.bsky.social/post/3mununm7f6227Probably should have made this clear earlier -- but if you've been testing the alpha version of Time Barons on BGA, and you find any bugs or weird UI glitches, there's a bug report feature built right into BGA that you can use to report those.

I've gotten a lot of volunteers already, so I'm going to temporarily stop adding new testers, just so I can save some people for a later testing wave (perhaps after we get the expansion and multiplayer modes added).
