We had a great time @EGX running the @FamilyGamingDB Zone. 16000 parents and children came to play our 150 games over 4 days. So many lovely moments of families discovering games, talking about parental controls and playing together. Looking forward to next year and other events!

IT'S TIME! We're setting up for our PAX East Family Gaming room. If you have an indie game, or know someone making one, we'd love to get it in front of the 1000s of families who visit our room. Just needs to be PEGI 12 or ESRB Teen or younger. Share's welcome, DMs open.

What if there were a better way to discover new games?
🌎Explore a universe of games
🎯Bigger cards = most similar
📚Card behaviour = genre
🍿Click = trailers and screenshots
💰Flip = game details and price
Ludocene subscribers are testing the prototype: ludocene.com/subscription
