Max Games Seidman

Hello world! -I’m a game designer and publisher at @resonym.bsky.social, working on games like Phantom Ink and Avant Carde! -I’ve been playing a lot of Mottainai recently -I make interactive trick or treat experiences for 500 kids each Halloween. My fav was the haunted vending machine

I’m working on a new boardgame with @max.resonym.com (my first in a while) and I’m excited by the storytelling elements we’re attempting to incorporate! Some of my former MFA students were kind enough to playtest an early version!

All right, here's the first call out. Within hours of me publishing an incredibly in-depth piece on CMON's finances, which covers a multitude of stock exchange filings from across several weeks, this article appeared on @tabletopgamingnews.bsky.social: www.tabletopgamingnews.com/cmon-is-suff...

Phantom Ink was so fun! I was able to include 8 new players at game night! Phantom Ink is a fast, party game where teams use "invisible ink" clues to guess a secret word before their opponents. As we played more games, things got tricky with fewer clues. We had a blast! @allplay.bsky.social

The world is weird.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

So bummed about this. Nobody else quite does what Print and Play does for board game designers/publishers.

Re;MATCH has broken 200k!!! This was an important milestone, because behind the scenes, 200k my "real" funding requirement. Publishing games is expensive, and I'm only able to chase such an ambitious project with the funds from previous games and all of my fans. Thank you all so much <3

Time for an Card City Critters update! @max.resonym.com and I have been plugging away on this thing, and here's what we've been working on! gametrodon.com/card-city-cr...

We're in court this week challenging a New Hampshire law that forces people to provide documents like a birth certificate or passport in order to register to vote. This unnecessary restriction makes it harder for thousands of citizens to exercise our right to vote.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

YIKES. Upper Deck (Marvel Legendary) just announced a CCG using the Harry Potter license. Fans of UD are rallying against this decision. Like the CGE situation last year, I’m asking for your help. Join us. Share your disgust and frustration, and help us push UD to retract their awful decision. 🎲✂️

TTRPG folks, be sure to check any new players for a microchip! They might belong to another DM.

The Dragon Hatcher starting deck! Any guesses on what that number on the bottom means? Hint: It’s not the number of decks, or cards in the deck.

Another day, another Card City Critters card! This time it's Flighty Dragon, one of the three mini-dragons.

Roll out your towels, slap on some sunscreen, and lets talk about the Beach Day starter deck in Card City Critters!

Once or twice a day for the next week, I'll be posting some of the cards in Card City Critters, and talking about them a bit! With that said, lets talk about the first little guy, Slow Start Snail!
