Dis is amazing!

 NERTS! Online is out.

quote:

Nerts is a fast-paced competitive solitaire game for you and up to five of your friends!

Unlike the rest of our solitaire games, we did not invent Nerts. We learned about it from our artist Kyle, who has played it for years, and started playing it after lunch in the Zachtronics office. Over time we added more to it, including house rules, longer tournaments, and even a theme song.

When we started working from home in early 2020 we made a rough version of the game to play over the internet, which eventually (nine months later) was cleaned up and turned into this. The game includes a few Zachtronics additions, like players being allowed to move cards between their Nerts pile and their tableau after Nerts has been called. It's free, but you do technically unlock card backs by owning our other games, so let's pretend that's a legitimate monetization strategy.

 I booted up my Sawayama powerlance and played Dungeons & Diagrams for a lot more hours than I thought I did. Pretty good, some maps seem easy, some seem super hard, but they kind of fall into place. I'm stuck on the tomb of the broken god but I suspect I'll sleep on it and get it quickly when I get back in later.

I really need to finish exapunks, too, I haven't opened my envelope yet despite having had it for ages.

Zach's new studio Coincidence quietly released a game called Add Astra on Steam a few weeks ago: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2870750/Add_Astra/

It's an educational game aimed at elementary schools so not that exciting in itself, but means that he's back to making games now.

More interesting is that the new puzzle game publisher Astra Logical shows an untitled upcoming Coincidence project in their games list: https://astralogical.org/

Not satisfied with making games for big nerds, Zach sets out to teach a new generation of nerds!
