Mostly caught up on BGG and my other socials. Even had some time to post some of my own plays over on Solitaire Games On Your Table -- June 2026 (I'm the host! Feel free to stop by and say hi!). Socials and posts and things really do take up time. And you never really know what works and what doesn't. I haven't had any more sales over on The Game Crafter yet, but I'm trying to extend my reach and find more potential players/customers. Threads is still very new to me. Lots of Small Business camaraderie and shares, but little in the way of results. Instagram is always colorful and interactive, and somehow I'm still discovering new features. carousel posts and adding music and changing up the overlaid text (color, background, font, and size). Facebook is just Facebook. It's my original account, now made more public-facing. BlueSky, I'm never really sure what I'm doing. Twitter... most of the gamers/gaming community seems to have left. Or maybe I just haven't found them yet. The Stargate crowd is still very Twitter-focused so given my recent participation with the #SaveStargate campaign, I've also shared about my games. Maybe I'll get a sale or two that way. It would probably help if Abydos were already available, but that's not reality. It's going to be a late summer/fall release and that's the best I'm going to be able to do. Maybe #SaveStargate will still be going and Abydos will benefit. Maybe not. All I can do is keep plugging away and do what I can, when I can.

That said, it's been a bit since I've shared actual plays of some of my games here on Herald's Call, so, I'm going to take today's post for a special extended session report!

Saturday, June 6, 2026 (at the garage)

Elements


22 plays (playtesting at the garage)
Note: I only played the in-hand, card portion of the game, I did not bring the dice for scoring. Rolling America's box served as a travel case.
1 play using the old rules (original game)
21 plays using the new/revised rules
All plays fell under 7 minutes each
4 of the plays were between 5-6 minutes
2 plays were under 4 minutes

Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

4 Plays


Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice, Print & Fold Tuck Box


Play #1: 49 pts, Relaxed


Play #2: 57 pts, Recharged


Play #3: Oh no! Just 35 pts, Unwound


Play #4: Whoops- I'm getting worse!- 31 pts, Unwound

Eight Elephants

3 Plays


Eight Elephants, Print & Fold Tuck Box


Solo - Easy Difficulty (10 Min. Timer) - Standard Game
Game start!


I won! With 7 minutes and 20 seconds remaining... Time to ramp things up!
80 pts


Solo - Challenging Difficulty (5 Min. Timer)- Lotus on the Rock Variant
No photo for this one's game end state: Win! With 1 minute and 56 seconds remaining.
120 pts


Solo- Frantic (2 Min. Timer) - Lotus on the Rock & Last Elephant Standing Variants


Oh no! I lost! With 6 seconds remaining... I collected the Orange Elephants (I had revealed an Orange Elephant at game start, so playing with the Last Elephant Standing Variant means that I have to collect the pair of Orange Elephants LAST in order to win), I thought it was the 8th pair... but I was missing the Purple Elephants! No!!!! I lost and my score was 70 points. *sigh*


I love the itty bitty rulebook.


The back is pretty special :geek_grin:.

Lincoln's Cat

1 Play


I love the real hook box.


Game start


I reached the end of Round 8, now it was time to see if I'd managed to get the Gettysburg Address back in order...


From 1 to 35! I win! Note: It is really hard to photograph in-hand plays. I always forget this fact, but nevertheless, it stands.

And that's today's super special extended session report- tomorrow: Friday!

Happy Thursday and happy playing!
