See you at PlayCon 2026!

Not only am I attending PlayCon 2026 for the first time this year, I'll be demoing my new game - Democracy Sausage! I'm currently testing the game and refining it with feedback, but I can't tell you how excited I am to be testing this game with people outside my usual circle.

I've been playing around with concepts for this game since 2024, but I resurrected my efforts this year when I had a breakthrough in how to resolve some of the core functions to keep the flow fun and engaging. I'm a sucker for dice, so there's a lot of dice-rolling. And I'm a sucker for US politics, however, more the idealised version of this. So the game is an opportunity to see how the democracy sausage is made by making decisions to run a campaign and get your candidate elected.

I like the theory behind campaigning, but I wanted to remove a lot of the traditional divisiveness that drives polarisation, so the policy levers you can pull centre around freedom, equality and order.

It is action selection, but moves fairly quickly, but I need thoughts and feedback from different people. So if you're going to be at PlayCon 2026, let me know and I'd love to have you test my game! I'll share details about when I'll be in Designer Alley soon.

If you are keen to play, drop me a message here and we'll see if we can set something up!
