I often include edge cases in my examples illustrating basic concepts, without belaboring the edge case itself.

Oh no! I love examples when reading and when writing rulebooks. I hope we get some good answers in this thread.

Birdhouse, That's Bananas, Food and Evil: Deviled Deck, and Froggy Finance - 4 games from @goosepoopgames.com, who also has a weekend table at H1. I’m looking forward to trying these. Come check them out!

Foils - party autobattler that boils down the CCG experience to 30 minutes or less
@perryjon.bsky.social makes great games that are fun, clever, and have (a sometimes surprising amount of) depth. I haven’t tried this once yet but I’m excited to see where it goes.

Empires Above - big serious 4X space opera
@zintismay.bsky.social has made an epic sci-fi game with sleek systems. I’ve always had fun playing previous versions of this game and I’m looking forward to having it on my shelf some day.

Once and For All - time travel lane battler
Wildstar - sci-fi western dice locking game
I’ve gotten to play both of these games from @jakekbarnhart.bsky.social and they are very cool. I need to play Once and For All again because even after a couple of games at PAXU I barely scratched the surface.
