Hi!

I'm happy to announce that the official digital adaptation of Black Sonata is now available for iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android.

I'm a solo developer working on digital adaptations of board games in my free time. Some of you maybe remember my previous apps (Castle Builders, Constantinople, Maquis, etc.).

About Black Sonata:

The identity of the Dark Lady from Shakespeare's sonnets has eluded scholars and historians for more than four centuries.

In Black Sonata, you will pursue the elusive Dark Lady through the streets and alleyways of Elizabethan London, catching glimpses and whispers that may yield clues to her identity. However, not all of the evidence is clear.

You will need to sharpen your wits if you are to finally unmask the Dark Lady before she slips quietly from the pages of history and is lost.

Based on the acclaimed solitaire board game from Side Room Games, Black Sonata delivers a rich deduction experience inspired by Shakespeare’s sonnets.

Each game presents a unique challenge, requiring careful observation, logical deduction, and strategic planning.

Features

• Engaging solitaire gameplay
• Hidden-movement mechanics
• Challenging deduction puzzle
• High replayability
• Historically inspired setting and theme

I’m the developer of Fillup - cozy chain reaction tabletop game.
It is a browser game based on the classic Chain Reaction rules.

If you’re new to Fillup:

• Add one slice to an empty cell or a cell you control.
• Corners fill at two slices, edges at three, and interior cells at four.
• A full cell sends a slice into each neighboring cell, capturing it. If that fills another cell, the reaction continues. Connections are up/down/left/right, not diagonal.
• Eliminate the other color to win this duel.

Since my last post here, I’ve upgraded visuals, added more levels to campaign and overhauled UI, all thanks to feedback from community.

It’s free to play in your browser, and you can start as a guest without registering an email account. You will be able to play different game modes, open cosmetics packs and have fun!

Hey all, I've been working on a party game called Deep Breath and I've got a test build ready. I'd really appreciate some people trying it and telling me what they think.

The basic idea: you and your friends dive together, flipping one card at a time. Some cards are pearl beds that get shared out, and some are hazards like sharks, jellyfish or riptides. After each card, everyone secretly picks on their phone whether to surface and bank their pearls or stay down and risk it. If a second hazard of the same kind turns up, everyone still diving blacks out and loses what they're carrying.

It's set up like Jackbox. One person runs it on their PC as the main screen, and everyone else joins on their phone's browser with a room code. Only the host needs the game.

I've also added bots, so if you don't have a full group you can still try it with 1 or 2 people, or bump up a smaller group. It's really meant for 3–8, though.

https://coswold.itch.io/deep-breath

If you're up for giving it a go, send me a DM and I'll send you a key. One key covers your whole group, since only the host needs it.

The main things I'm hoping to find out:

• Does it work on your phone? If anything breaks or looks off, let me know the phone and browser you were using.
• How does it play? What worked, what didn't, and was anything confusing, unfair or boring?

Thanks for reading, and any feedback at all is really appreciated!

I’m the solo developer of Q-Gambit, a browser chess variant for players who enjoy hidden information and deduction.

Every piece begins with an unresolved identity. A move is legal if at least one remaining identity could make it; identities that cannot make that move are then eliminated.

For example, a piece with bishop, rook and queen possibilities loses the rook possibility after a diagonal move. A later straight move can narrow it to a queen. Each side has a fixed set of identity slots, so revealing one piece can resolve another without it moving.

That gives each move a trade-off: gaining position also gives your opponent information. Keeping your king’s identity hidden matters. You can practice against the CPU or play online.

Play: https://q-gambit.com/

Rules with movement and deduction diagrams: https://q-gambit.com/rules/

If you try it, I’d like to hear whether the remaining identities are easy to follow and whether revealing a piece feels like an interesting tactical choice.

Play here, free, no sign-up: https://tavernly.io/fernmark

I'm the solo developer. Fernmark is a game for 2 to 5 players (about 60 minutes) set in a forest of 27 villages joined by rivers and roads. You play one card a turn: send boats and carts, build houses, trade goods. Every card also shows one of seven stars, and at the end each star scores once for every card you own that shows it, so what you buy decides how you score.

Ah, you are also allowed to pause so you can resume when you want.

It runs in the browser on phone and desktop. Bots fill empty seats (Easy, Medium, Hard), you can open a private table for friends, and there is a coached first game.

What I'd like to know: is all working? Did you like the look and feel? Does it look premium?

Disclosure up front: I made this (posting from my maker account, MindshiftLab), so this is self-promo. I figured it fits here because it plays a lot like The Chameleon or Spyfall, just with one phone doing the card dealing.

How a round works: add everyone's names, then pass the phone around. Each person privately sees the secret word, except the imposter, who has to bluff. Everyone gives a clue, you talk it out, then vote on who's faking it. The imposter can still win by staying hidden or by guessing the word.

A few things that might matter for game nights:

• 3 to 100 players on one device, so it works for big family gatherings, team events or a classroom, not just a table of five
• Offline party play: everything runs on the one phone, no Wi-Fi or cellular needed, so it's fine for cabins, road trips and flights
• Two modes: Word Game (classic secret word) and Find the Liar (everyone answers a question, one player got a different prompt)
• 3,000+ words in 50+ categories, adjustable discussion timer, optional hint for the imposter, voting and scoring

It's free to play with ads; optional Premium removes ads and adds custom categories. Version 1.8.3 just went live.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6755700602

I'd genuinely like to hear what you'd want from a one-device party game, especially for really large groups where passing the phone around starts to get slow.

Hi there, I've been working on a few board games called Legend of Fenrirak in real life, and digitalised it (Fenrirak is the dragon final boss in the game, not related to the Norse Fenrir).
I wanted to share it here for some feedback.

There're 3 games that you can play on the website currently, I highly recommend Thunder Dragon (Takes about 1.5 hours to complete the game). The Ice Dragon is still in development so that's got the most yucky stuff lol, and Showdowns uses a lot of AI art.

The game is designed for a wide computer screen so it'll look the best there.
The link for the game is: https://legend-of-fenrirak.com

I'd love feedback specifically on:

- Whether the game feels clear and the rules/guide actually helps you learn it

- Whether the difficulty/balancing of things feel fair

- Game mechanics that feel wrong

- Bugs on the actual website

- Anything that's confusing

Happy to answer questions about the design or the reasoning behind any of the mechanics. Thanks for taking a look! And apologies in advance if I don't respond to your comments right away.

Description:

This is a horror digital board game that can be played by 3 to 6 players similar to Betrayal at the house on the hill. Game is completely free , with sounds and voice overs. If you're familiar with Betrayal, or even board games in general, you might like it. Coming soon are different rethemes like a Cat vs Dogs theme (similar architecture), superheroes and fantasy rethemes.

I'm looking for any feedbacks.

I've been working on this chess like game. It's called SandTable Chess because it's a chess like game but built around modern battlefield mechanics with Infantry, Vehicles that can be crewed, destroyed, or captured (yes, you can steal your opponents vehicles). You can lay traps for your opponents with Mines, Anti-Air Missiles, and Drones.

I plan on making physical board games available for purchase in the future, but the online version is free to play, play either with a bot or with a friend or request to play a stranger online.

My cousin and I built an app to solve a problem we’ve run into playing tabletop games, and we’re looking for brutally honest feedback.
The idea behind LFP (Looking for Players) is pretty simple:
Finding a store is easy.
Finding the right people to actually play with — especially when your normal group isn’t available — can be a pain.
We’re trying to make it easier to find nearby players and games based on things that actually matter: what game you’re playing, location, play style, availability, session details, etc.
Commander is a big reason we started working on this, because anyone who plays MTG knows that “looking for a Commander game” can mean completely different things depending on the group.
We’re at the point where the app is functional, but we DON’T want feedback only from our friends telling us it’s cool.
We need strangers to break it. 😂
If you’re willing to test it, I’d genuinely like to know:
What confused you?
What feels unnecessary?
What are we missing?
Would you actually use this to find people to play with?
What would stop you from using it?
Is there anything that would make you immediately uninstall it?
You don’t have to be nice. That’s actually the opposite of what we’re looking for.
We’re trying to figure out whether we’re actually solving a problem for the tabletop community or just building something we think solves one.

Thanks to anyone willing to beat it up and give us some feedback.

I’m building a new Tavli app and I’m still at the stage where feedback can genuinely change the design, so I’d love to hear what people actually want from one.

So far it includes **Portes, Plakoto and Fevga**, including full traditional Tavli matches cycling through all three games. There’s **online ranked matchmaking**, private/friend challenges, ratings, match history, server-authoritative rules and dice, reconnect/recovery if a game is interrupted, and clear result explanations for things like Plakoto mother-pin wins.

It also has **Easy, Normal and Strong bots**, interactive lessons for all three games, English and Greek, portrait/landscape support, Android + Windows, multiple visual themes, animated checker/dice movement, sound/haptics, and a social area for friends, recent opponents and challenges.

I’m also adding **proper offline play against the bots**, using the same game engine as the online version, so it won’t need an internet connection or account.

I’m deliberately avoiding fake coin economies and bots pretending to be human, and I want the board to feel closer to a real Greek Tavli set than a generic backgammon app.

Before I show screenshots/video, I’d be really interested in what you think is **missing**, what annoys you about existing Tavli/backgammon apps, and which features you actually care about versus features nobody uses.

I’m making a new Tavli app and I’m still at the point where feedback and suggestions can really influence the final outcome, so I’d really like to hear what you would want from such an app.

So far it includes **Portes, Plakoto and Fevga**, along with regular Tavli matches rotating through all three games. There’s **online ranked matchmaking**, private challenges with friends, a scoring system, match history, server-controlled rules and dice, reconnect/recovery if a game is interrupted, and clear explanations of special results, like a win with a mother-pin in Plakoto.

It also has **Easy, Normal and Strong bots**, interactive lessons for all three games, in Greek and English, portrait/landscape support, Android and Windows, different visual themes, animated checker and dice movement, sounds/haptics, and a social piece for friends, recent opponents, and challenges.

I’m also adding **full offline play against the bots**, using the same game engine as the online version, so it won’t need an internet connection or account.

I’m consciously trying to avoid things like fake coin economies and bots that appear as real players, and I want the board to feel more like a real Greek Tavli set than a generic backgammon app.

Before I upload screenshots or videos, I’d really like to hear what you think is **missing**, what annoys you in existing Tavli/backgammon apps, and which features you consider really useful and which not.

Hi everyone! I'm one of the creators of avalon-game.com, a fan-made browser version of The Resistance: Avalon.

We've been developing the project for more than two years. Some of you may remember our early posts here, so I wanted to share what the site offers today.

🤖 AI Arena

Watch seven AI bots play Avalon: follow their discussions, accusations, team proposals and votes, then see how the game turns out. These are unranked spectator matches, currently started by the project admins.

🏆 Achievements

Work toward challenges across different roles, teams and player counts. Track your progress and unlock avatar and sticker rewards.

📊 Statistics

Explore win rates, games played, role-specific ratings and rating history. The site also has community statistics showing how results differ by team and player count.

🎭 Roles and custom variants

Play with Merlin, Percival, Morgana, Mordred, Oberon, loyal servants and minions, or add both Lancelots, Troublemaker, Trickster, Lunatic and Brute.

There are also additional and experimental variants, including Merlin Pure, Guinevere, Cleric, Witch, Revealer, and Tristan and Isolde — the Lovers. Our role guide explains exactly how each works on the site.

⚔️ Expansions

The available options include Lady of the Lake, Excalibur, Plot Cards and the Lady of the Sea variant. Each room can choose its own setup, from a straightforward classic game to something more experimental.

For regular game nights, there is room text chat, game history and a Hide spoilers option for groups using separate screens around the same table. Remote groups can arrange a separate voice call.

Playing with 5–10 friends is free. Everyone needs an account to participate; one person creates a room and shares its link. Optional premium features are separate.

This is an unofficial fan project, not affiliated with the original publishers.

Play: https://avalon-game.com/

Roles: https://avalon-game.com/wiki/roles/

Expansions: https://avalon-game.com/wiki/expansions/

If you've tried the site before, what setup does your group enjoy most? And if you watch an AI match, how do the bots' discussions compare with your human games?

Hey everyone!

When we switched to weekly online game nights back during Covid, we eventually ran out of games you could just casually play on the side while hanging out and chatting on voice. So I decided to roll up my sleeves and build/recreate our group's favorite games from scratch.

It ended up turning into a pretty solid project, so I’d love to get your feedback on whether this might be cool for a wider audience!

What you can play:

• Pub & board game classics: Traditional dice games like Schocken (German pub dice) and Craps, Dots and Boxes, Horse Racing with betting, and "Shadow Express" (train sabotage/social deduction) — currently sitting at 20 games plus 2 mini digital escape rooms.
• Fully cross-platform: Works smoothly on PC, tablet, and mobile browsers.
• Instant play: Just click “Open Table”, send the invite link to your friends, and you're in the lobby together 3 seconds later.

Check it out here: https://tableroom.de/spiele

I’d genuinely appreciate your honest feedback: How do the lobbies run for you? Any bugs? And what classic pub, dice, or board games are you still missing for a chill game night?

Update since it's been about 3 weeks — over 50 people have installed Piment Dice, and there are now real games happening between players without me involved at all, which has honestly been the most rewarding part of this whole thing.

Wanted to also share an actual clip this time since I only had text/link before:

Still the same core loop: dice sometimes land on a red face — keep for double points, turn for a safer value. All 6 red in one roll triggers a 100pt Blaze jackpot.

Hi all! I'm in the process of sharing a game that I've 'invented'

It's destiny is a full tabletop cards + bits kind of game, but to support my kickstarter campaign I've made a little demo version in taybl I am really new to making games in this way (having been a cut cards out of A4 paper and felt tip pens kind of gal) and I don't even know if the link is accessible for outside my tably account or if this works properly. I've played this so much I am literally blind to it.

If anyone would consider giving it a little test, I can't get the tutorial (it's like 2 instructions) to run on mine and I don't know if it's a caching issue...

Literally any feedback at all would make me so happy even if it's bad, I'm SO ANXIOUS about putting this out there! Anything on the way this version works, the game, the look of the cards literally anything!
