Look at the two chickens, a dog, and a horse! It’s also clear at this point that I had no idea what sorts of vehicles would be used to rescue animals. (Take note: people do not typically pack dogs into a container pulled by a semi truck.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/934de9a2-f782-43f6-9258-16cff1e82031/animal_tokens.jpg Blog - Animal Rescue Team – Design Diary - Make it stand out The punchboard version of the animal tokens. When they were in the vehicles, they looked great. But they didn’t look so good when lying on the board. This photo also shows some color-coding on the vehicles that we later dropped. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/d35416af-ebea-40f3-a0e9-57b230eaa590/sculpted+animals.jpg Blog - Animal Rescue Team – Design Diary - Make it stand out Stock wooden pawns as specialists with sculpted, plastic animals (hand-painted 3D resin prints) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/e8d3e835-ae8e-4baf-9727-332420a1d234/animal-meeples-fleet.jpg Blog - Animal Rescue Team – Design Diary - Make it stand out A prototype showing specialists, animal meeples, and shelters (all meant to be in wood) (5). We’re still developing the vehicles and equipment at this point. The equipment shown here is a simulation of screen-printed wood; we changed these to be punch board tokens in the final game since those felt better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/eca3d26f-cf0a-4ffe-b4c0-68fb2feacb6b/hello.jpg Blog - Animal Rescue Team – Design Diary - Make it stand out Uhh… hello?

One key change was the integration of water into the regions so the boat could function as a rescue vehicle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/b2a73136-5d88-4166-83e3-fdf5b6901c1b/topology.png Blog - Animal Rescue Team – Design Diary - Make it stand out Another study of board topology.

This early notebook page has the order of play, actions menu, and shadow card behavior, and the attributes of each location. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/b34d33b2-67c1-4af7-96ad-1010b5e4ba19/IMG_1649.jpg Blog - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship – Design Diary - Make it stand out First pencil sketch of the board from 12 October 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/bf6cc5f8-01c0-4d02-9f71-e9e492c13b31/early_plotr.jpg Blog - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship – Design Diary - Make it stand out An early board undergoing a playtest.

If the top card of the draw pile shows a flag, all the armies on the pictured battle line (from Umbar to Helm’s Deep) advance. If the top card shows a banner, then the army in Umbar is reinforced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/83655eb9-fada-4bc8-ac9c-23b87c2384e5/lockdown.jpg Blog - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship – Design Diary - Make it stand out Solo tests of the early game during isolation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/2041ee8b-59bd-4160-ae52-d2cc673fbeb0/martin.jpg Blog - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship – Design Diary - Make it stand out Martin Bouchard at The Gathering of Friends (3) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1747784586119-PYWMVP0OO4D5AH2NYTJD/Screenshot+2025-05-20+at+4.42.48%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship – Design Diary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1747784156582-O8YP7DVUYJDCNRN5Q88O/Sme%CC%81agol+2.png Blog - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship – Design Diary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1747784157718-G6T1CAAPDTZ9YF5NR59Z/Sme%CC%81agol+3.png Blog - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship – Design Diary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1747784157962-CZYKSJERZVVUZB9A3UTM/Sme%CC%81agol+4.png Blog - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship – Design Diary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1747784159234-PEAELKFD67T0PRJTXYYK/Sme%CC%81agol+5.png Blog - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship – Design Diary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1747784160428-1VHFH2W89OEV1HLJXKT9/Sme%CC%81agol+8.png Blog - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship – Design Diary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1747784161145-LZOXAR0VVEBO910YI7QO/Sme%CC%81agol+9.png Blog - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship – Design Diary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1747784161425-1G2348OK4T69QG3MXKHY/Sme%CC%81agol+10.png Blog - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship – Design Diary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/40a671a0-f8c3-494a-9032-c01ed7b3e2d5/mordor.jpg Blog - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship – Design Diary - Make it stand out Yeah, I don’t think that we’re going to retake Minas Tirith in this game. Fortunately, it looks like Frodo & Sam, Gollum (and Aragorn!) may have succeeded at Mount Doom nonetheless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/22406eae-2232-40f6-8616-3ed81fc59442/Fate+Tube+Map.png Blog - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship – Design Diary - Make it stand out If you’re an orc and want to travel from Núrn to the Grey Havens, how many times will you need to change lines? https://www.leacock.com/blog/2024/11/25/find-me-on-bluesky-and-substack monthly 0.5 2024-11-25 https://www.leacock.com/blog/2024/6/5/mlg-newsletter-coming-soon monthly 0.5 2024-06-09 https://www.leacock.com/blog/2023/8/10/forbidden-jungle-design-diary monthly 0.5 2023-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/ed9a135b-992b-4b62-a2c9-296c41a430bf/forbidden_jungle_flat_top.jpeg Blog - Forbidden Jungle – Design Diary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/84832aae-79f6-4b63-9a24-4f78a827d515/progression.png Blog - Forbidden Jungle – Design Diary - Make it stand out The adventurers lift off from Forbidden Island in their helicopter to later escape in a rebuilt airship in Forbidden Desert, then power a rocket to lift off in Forbidden Sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/d13e3922-e1d8-46a1-8d7f-9787eca66f5b/early+tiles.png Blog - Forbidden Jungle – Design Diary - Make it stand out A screen grab from a fairly early Forbidden Station prototype file (July 2021). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1210cfbc-05d6-4f0d-836b-13b5a9b0d418/asteroid+storm.png Blog - Forbidden Jungle – Design Diary - Make it stand out A screen grab from an early Forbidden Island prototype.

Early prototypes only used the first three cards. The last three cards ramp up the tension of the game as more and more of the jungle is explored. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1540c521-fea6-464c-9b44-3ed79031a7e6/adults.png Blog - Forbidden Jungle – Design Diary - Make it stand out A partial evolution of the adult spider. As they evolved, the adults lost their goofy grin, collar, and stinger and grew sharp teeth. The left two figures are from .stls found on the web and were used for inspiration. The Sculpey one was made by my daughter Anna as part of an experiment exploring scale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/6f1249a5-b710-4576-9670-90dc29c1c34e/minis.png Blog - Forbidden Jungle – Design Diary - Make it stand out Early (left) and final (right) aliens: adult, hatchling, and egg. I had the sculptor add nubs to the edges of the hatchling so they’d be easier to pick up. The most important change here was a sense of large/medium/small scale. In the original metal comps the hatchling looks smaller than the egg! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/d9fa2809-684c-4d7d-a1bb-9d67ba1c3708/difficulty.png Blog - Forbidden Jungle – Design Diary - Make it stand out Different space station layouts add variety to the game. https://www.leacock.com/blog/2023/7/5/how-to-play-daybreak monthly 0.5 2023-07-05 https://www.leacock.com/blog/2022/10/4/daybreak-design-diaries monthly 0.5 2022-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/3ddafaeb-86c9-45f9-b11c-59cdc8d5709a/game-board-v1.10.jpg Blog - Daybreak Design Diaries - Make it stand out An early prototype of Daybreak https://www.leacock.com/blog/2022/9/20/daybreak-is-live-on-backerkit monthly 0.5 2022-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/aeea77c5-0bba-4ddd-aca4-dfe2c0f6a396/Daybreak+box+scene+%28smaller%29.jpg Blog - Daybreak is Live on Backerkit! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.leacock.com/blog/2022/9/11/daybreak-crowdfunding-begins-on-september-20th monthly 0.5 2022-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/179af88e-6f47-4276-86ed-68905a6e4f85/Daybreak-box-front-with-logo-reduced.jpg Blog - Daybreak – Crowdfunding Begins on September 20th! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.leacock.com/blog/2021/9/29/daybreak-overview-in-7-minutes monthly 0.5 2022-10-05 https://www.leacock.com/blog/2021/4/22/daybreak-a-cooperative-game-about-climate-action monthly 0.5 2021-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1619072797735-L40V401XF7LNTIO6Q5T8/daybreak_test_candid.jpg Blog - Daybreak – A Cooperative Game About Climate Action Donna and Colleen at the end of a testing session of Daybreak. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1619072375260-4LKAJB6C9QY8NRJSWNOI/25climate-game2-superJumbo-v2.jpeg Blog - Daybreak – A Cooperative Game About Climate Action Photo: Peter Prato for The New York Times https://www.leacock.com/blog/2020/10/14/forbidden-island-now-on-board-game-arena monthly 0.5 2020-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1602693743048-GR0S47PPH8GA8GWGNEHC/forbidden_island_banner.jpg Blog - Forbidden Island Now on Board Game Arena https://www.leacock.com/blog/2020/5/20/the-game-designers-nbspclip-released monthly 0.5 2020-05-20 https://www.leacock.com/blog/2020/5/3/pandemic-survival-over-zoom monthly 0.5 2020-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1588531467171-UBYRS9R3HEAOJEJHDF89/pandemic_distancing_thumbnail.jpg Blog - Pandemic Survival Over Zoom! – Rules and Tips https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1588528841495-3XVPI97MF5LSB8ECJQSD/6924605772082693592.jpg Blog - Pandemic Survival Over Zoom! – Rules and Tips Two-player teams compete to be the first team to find all four cures or the last team to survive.

The challenge that my friends Chris and Kim threw down was to create a civilization-building dice game that could be played in 30–40 minutes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1565991050009-MMNEIMIH8DFUWKEORJ8I/IMG_4376.jpg Blog - ERA: Medieval Age – Design Notes A near-final prototype (version 23) of Roll Through the Ages from 11 years ago. The early prototypes were initially pitched as “Dice of the Ancients.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1566079668281-PY0IE2V1X6RWXGVNU72J/IMG_4382.jpg Blog - ERA: Medieval Age – Design Notes May, 2017. Here you can see some concepts taking shape. I often start with a concept map of the key objects and actions in the game.

Players drew buildings on graph paper and drew walls segments on the lines that separated them. The game also used a reference card for building shapes and a simple pegboard to track resources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1565991520411-KRTVTWGEB7ZIKLP8ZZ23/IMG_4372.jpg Blog - ERA: Medieval Age – Design Notes I actually used craft foam for my first 3D version of the board, which was a direct translation of the roll-and-write shapes: buildings went on squares; walls went between them. It looked promising. Testing soon showed, however, that players had a hard time figuring out how to place buildings on this grid. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1565991755579-EIHUHAVFLFIYDD52N2MB/IMG_4374.jpg Blog - ERA: Medieval Age – Design Notes I thought a laser-cut version with little white circles to help position your buildings might work. It didn’t. I had to abandon this system as it went against years of Lego training. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1566069586184-T4SRJQ6C3I3JQOJGV0I5/IMG_4379.jpg Blog - ERA: Medieval Age – Design Notes When I moved the walls onto the same grid as the buildings, the problem went away. The board also was significantly less noisy looking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1565992086257-3LC99X3KT825MGBJXTDM/era_laser_cut.jpg Blog - ERA: Medieval Age – Design Notes All the laser-cut pieces for the buildings plus a few experimental bits and other odds-and-ends. I cut the buildings out of illustration board, glued them together using a special tacky glue, then painted them with acrylic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1565992135368-MXZEH4DJK89VFMUJMW97/IMG_2446.jpg Blog - ERA: Medieval Age – Design Notes A robust city at the end of a game. The buildings in the prototype had little “pips” etched into them so you could see how many points they were worth. The published version uses a more robust score sheet satisfies this requirement in a better way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1565992111858-NLZHCQRP47INFA2QRXSQ/IMG_2346.jpg Blog - ERA: Medieval Age – Design Notes All the parts for two prototypes, painted and ready to go.

Moving to more traditional materials cut the game's cost by more than half and opened up the possibility of including a double-sided board and variable chariots. The wood was fun but terribly expensive and the chariots (as cribbage pegs) weren't very thematic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1476947736242-OT82TBEOUT0YOCAKI3S9/image-asset.jpeg Blog - The Evolution of Chariot Race Here are some of the many pegboards I made out of foam and drilled for testing. Some of the boards were hollowed out underneath so you could keep your Fortuna coins secret from the other players. I used older boards to hold cribbage pegs while I painted them (bottom right). Not pictured are all the sets I sent out for blind-testing. I must have drilled about 5,000 holes over the course of the project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1476947753442-A5LFR0CBHU199AJE8I0W/image-asset.jpeg Blog - The Evolution of Chariot Race Here are the reverse sides of the chariot boards showing the six different configurations.

The vertical line indicates the decision to cut the board in half at the Atlantic so Tracy Island can be in the center. The Hood had his very own region of the world in this version. Handy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1439316659494-1SI1B8P2J3NKAKOSV9P5/image-asset.jpeg Blog - From the Sketchbook I know enough about probability to be dangerous. Here's where I started to plot out the difficulty numbers for the various rescue missions in the Thunderbirds game. Apparently 7s and 9s are "lame," while 8, 10, 11, and 12 are "good." I think this has \to do with whether the associated bonuses present a meaningful decision to the player. I don't know what the note, "(Rob) Hope is lost." refers to, but it's probably something I needed to communicate to Rob Harris, not Rob Daviau since this is for Thunderbirds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1439315882126-2YI8ZYJTLE55GCM6CDBR/image-asset.jpeg Blog - From the Sketchbook Notes from a playtest of Pandemic: The Cure https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1439315654814-ML8C2AZ8SRXZKOR1AHW8/image-asset.jpeg Blog - From the Sketchbook Early player dice from Pandemic: The Cure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54dc217de4b05cd95c7305b4/1439315740623-6KJI7OYZ5V5R5QXL8S0U/image-asset.jpeg Blog - From the Sketchbook An early treatment center from Pandemic: The Cure.
