To do something special for our 40th issue (and because we couldn't decide between blue & purple) we're using this very unique card stock for our hand made game zines! Love how they look like shiny trading cards. Pick one up by joining our Patreon or finding us at a market in New Zealand.

the many tasks of the indie dev... #indiedev #gamedev

Flagrant contains a full playing card sized (52 entries) random table for secret mandates, the largest random table we've been able to get into a zine so far! We even have 3 more for different themes (pirates, cults, and coats of arms) but those didn't fit in the zine....

Every nation needs a flag. Every flag needs a committee. Every committee is lying to each other. Introducing ‘Flagrant’, our new party game for 4-8 players. One person holds the pencil, everyone else has a secret hidden up their sleeve. patreon.52pickupstudios.com/posts/52-pickup-issue-164778421

Rolling for initiative? How about rolling for executive function...

New intro time! I'm Chris (he/him) and I make ttrpgs with my friends as Junk Food Games. I design small, self-contained solo and gm-less zine games with big moments and quiet introspection. Find me on itch! junkfoodgames.itch.io I'm also in a local design collective! www.designedinthedmv.org

Manufacturing and distribution challenges is one of the reasons why we make Standard Games now. If you're a board/tabletop game designer traditional boxed games aren't the only way to get your designs out! Whether Standard Games, Print & Play, or in a tabletop sandbox you have many options 🎲✂️

With over 40 issues of our original tabletop zine game series, 52 Pickup, it can be a bit overwhelming to decide what game to play! Try out the game browser on our website to easily search through all of our original TTRPGs, board and card games. Let us know your fav! www.52pickupstudios.com/games

Check out our quick start rules explainer video for Tinhorn Tell, a poker drafting game that just uses standard playing cards and paper. It's our second ever rules explainer video so feedback is welcome. patreon.52pickupstudios.com/posts/tinhorn-tell-163499612 #indiegame #cardgame #tabletop

Board games can be so gosh darn beautiful.

Thank you! Reach out if you’ve got any rules questions and we’d be happy to help
