This Week in Weird Giraffe Games - 9/5/25

Welcome to This Week in Weird Giraffe Games, where we share the ups and downs of running Weird Giraffe Games! 🦒

In this episode, Carla and Nick talk about:
• Playtesting new projects (including a Logic & Lore sequel and a possible campaign game)
• Preparing for reprints after almost selling out at Gen Con
• Handling the not-so-fun side of publishing (emails, taxes, tariffs, and warehouses)
• Getting feedback on Reef & Ruins and Surplus of Sloths
• Reorganizing prototypes, old designs, and digital files for smoother project management
• Fighting burnout, finding balance, and making time for board game nights (hello Dune Imperium and Root!)

We're passionate about designing classic mechanisms with a twist of weird—from Logic & Lore and Way Too Many Cats to Fire in the Library and beyond.

What are you doing to stay balanced and avoid burnout while still keeping up with your passions? Let us know in the comments!
