The Cottage Game
2017-Present
Originally starting as a Role & Move style game, it's been totally re-worked with a lot of modern design ideas.
Although my first idea for a game came in 2017, I started in earnest in 2023, with most of the past year getting caught up on the past 30 years of board game ideas, playing as many and varied games as I can and learning about the design process and possibilities.

Originally starting as a Role & Move style game, it's been totally re-worked with a lot of modern design ideas.
This came out of the idea of making a mostly Push Your Luck style game, but has evolved from there.
The most recent idea was to start small, with just a limited deck of cards (and possibly Print & Play), but is turning out to be a Tile laying game.
In the co-operative, family party game Head Games, players race against time trying to physically get in order based on what card is shown in their headband. The cards have pictures of various themes like numbers, fruit, cars, art and countries on them and players are limited by what they can say and do.
