Thought Prism Games
I’m a solo dev with experience in a variety of fields who strives for accessibility and high-concept innovations in tabletop gaming. See the sidebar for the games I've developed that are currently available to buy here on Itch. VeeBar, a family card game for two players, is available on GameCrafter.
Below are some other games I've fully designed which are no longer available for purchase online, since I'm not renewing my website. However, you might stumble across a copy that I've donated or sold in person, so I'm leaving their information up on this page for reference. Maybe I'll start selling them on Mercari or something if enough people express interest. If you have any comments or questions, reach out on Bluesky.
The ParaLens card game features a never-before seen innovation in the core gaming space: your resources are colored plastic film decoders, and you can change the abilities on your record cards depending on which lens colors you use!
With deep gameplay highly unlike the big three, choose from a wide pool of repeatable actions each turn to fit the situation, from drawing a card to stating a thesis. Target down a specific one of your opponent’s cards, come back from behind with the power of the research grant, accumulate a huge board, or discover devastating card combinations.
What are you waiting for? Start your career in the exciting field of otherworld archeology today!
ParaLens is a game for two players ages 12 and up. Each of the five starter decks includes twenty different predetermined cards unique to each deck, four Thesis Markers, and seven lenses. Simply buy two copies of each starter deck to get a playset of every card in the first edition. The rulebook is available for free on this website. Dice or a pen and paper are recommended for tracking record validity but not included. If you are colorblind, try one of Thought Prism Games’ other offerings instead.
Pop Rollers - Where your cards are rolling slap bracelets!
Bring a wonderful carnival of fun wherever you go! Pop Rollers is an exciting game of dexterity and strategy where you roll slap bands onto a target to score points. The first player to score 20 points wins the game. Bands each have a different, special effect depending on whether they’re rolled up or flattened out!
The Pop Rollers Starter Set includes 4 random slap bands out of a possible 45, as well as a rubber target and a rules sheet, which is enough for one new player to jump in. Up to five players can enjoy Pop Rollers at the same time.
Each named band is exclusive to one of the five possible colors, and there are no rarity differences, so the bands are all equally likely to appear in any individual Starter Set.
For easy gaming on the go, simply put the flexible target in your pocket and wear your favorite four bands on your wrists. They are bracelets, after all!
Pop Rollers may not be suitable for players under the age of twelve. Parental discretion is advised.
Cobblepips is a trading card game for two players where you get to put on the shoes of a game designer and build your own cards! To build a card, simply slide chits (the small cardboard rectangles) into a standard US size trading card sleeve. Each chit is printed on the highest quality, heavy weight cardstock for maximum durability.
The Cobblepips Starter Bag contains enough chits for one player to build a full deck, plus some extras to ensure smooth gameplay. The exact contents of each Starter Bag are randomized. Common ability chits appear at three times the frequency of rare ability chits, out of a possible 56 unique chits. That’s over 200,000 possible cards you can build and play with, not to mention your whole deck!
Card sleeves are not included. Cobblepips may not be suitable for players under the age of twelve. Chits are a potential choking hazard, parental discretion is advised.
