Convention coverage, design notes, and big tabletop updates.

A focused close-up of an original prototype board game in development, featuring a sturdy cardboard board with clearly segmented areas, hand-cut but neatly aligned tiles, and sleeved cards with placeholder iconography. Small wooden cubes and discs in muted primary colors are clustered in specific zones, hinting at resource management mechanics. The scene is set on a clean white desk beside a closed laptop and a lined notebook filled with sketched diagrams, all slightly out of focus. Cool, indirect daylight from a nearby window creates soft, natural highlights on the components. Shot at eye level with a shallow depth of field, the composition emphasizes the prototype’s tactile details and conveys a thoughtful, work-in-progress atmosphere in photographic realism.
