TAKE THIS! We take a lot of pride in our artwork at Durdle Games, even for games that are still taking their baby steps. But even a great artist needs to sharpen their blade sometimes. This weeks post will be the first of two posts about Jason’s experience in the Tabletop Mentorship program. Over the …
Power Bomb your friends for fun! In our last episode with Durdle Games your favorite design duo decided to not take any time off and dive right into their next game design. And did they succeed? Actually…kinda…yes. Rowdy Partners has been hitting the table a lot over the past month and the game has been …
Taking time to regroup and failing… GenCon came and went and it was a glorious clash of sound and fury. The big dance is always a beautifully exhausting experience. We saw a lot of games, played a few, and conducted a lot of Durdle business during the convention. I think the Durdle business will get …
The robots are here, and they’re pretty cute. Today we have a design focused post for our readers.

So we were on our way to make a game when… we got a little distracted. The great thing about working on games as a duo is that you always have someone to bounce ideas off. The worst thing about working as a duo is that you have someone to entertain all of your nonsense. …
… where did you go? It’s been a little while since we updated the world with Durdle news! So what happened to Durdle Games since Gencon 2021? Did we give up? Did we break up? Did we give up on breaking up? We are still here! We took a couple months to decompress after Gencon. …
… and thanks for all the playtests! GenCon is always a wild ride and this year might have been the wildest ever. For those that took the time to sit down to try Spelldice and Cramazon, we are very thankful for every minute you spent at our (actually Ravensburgers’) demo table. Thank you for sitting …
