Xorakus at the Playtest NW booth at SummerCon

Updates, Testing, SummerCon

Hello again all you beautiful gamers! We received our latest round of updates in the mail last week and have been testing, testing, testing!

We found someone at Mox to play test with on Sunday (6/18). Then we did a solo play test during the day on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday, we popped into the board game developer day at Blue Highway Games in Seattle and followed that up with a play test at our weekly friend group game night! (Thanks Patrick, Tim, and Isa!) Then on Friday we had dinner and a play test with some of our other good friends! (Thanks Andrew, Sue, Shane, and Brittney!) Then on Saturday, Xorakus showed up at SummerCon 2023 at the Washington State Fairgrounds in Puyallup, WA! We were in the Playtest NW section and had several games with the nicest folks!

As we continue to test and promote, our next steps will be to go through the rules one more time before attempting our first blind play test. That will probably be in a couple of weeks and no, we're not blindfolding anyone; we're going to have someone who's never played before try to play test it without the developer (Martin) present. It's an important test of the rules that's probably over due. Anyway, go play some games people!
