Found myself with a thin pantry but no desire to actually go to the store (currently wearing pajama pants), yet I still threw together an improvised yangnyeom fried tofu.

Each one has two preconstructed decks with no randomization, so on its own it’s a complete 2-player experience. Later this week I’ll be assembling small randomized booster packs that can be used to customize the decks.

As a solo game, it’s a puzzle of trying to put as many directed edges into the 7-graph as you can. As a 2-player game, it’s an exercise in boxing your opponent in so they can’t add an edge.23 Jun 2025 00:10 +0000at://did:plc:7vnotfrnr36tp67z7pknegt3/app.bsky.feed.post/3lsac74jml22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/hollis.computer/post/3ls65no2bs22vWhoops, I meant to do some editing work yesterday on the rules for the card game I’m developing (and which has a deadline), but instead I knocked out some quick designs for two more games.
