We're running Squaretown at the @nowplaythese games festival from today until Sunday; a print-and-play adaptation of the snaddering system where you can make your own board at home and combine it with other people's to build a whole town. Join in at nowplaythis.net/squaretown

Board game design prompt: The Code of Practice on Noise from Ice-Cream Van Chimes Etc. (1982)
A snaddering puzzle: Green has rolled a 4, and needs one more gold to win. Ending a turn on a gold token picks it up. A player can spend a flare token at any time on their turn to move an opponent one square in any direction: Green has one flare left. How can Green win this turn?

Rule #7 is Action Cards: here's a hand of them from a game set in a hospital, where patient cubes changed colour according to their illnesses. This game may or may not have ended with the queen becoming a werewolf.
