Odd Topix is a quick party game of talking and deception. The rules are simple: fulfill your prompt and include your given words. If the other players successfully guess any of your words, you're out!
I created Odd Topix as I wanted to explore the physical manufacturing process. One of the advantages in the world of software is speed to market and iteration. Having spent my career in that world, I thought it was important to gain hands-on experience with a practical project. The lead times and costs involved in physical manufacturing really highlighted the advantages of software, and I quickly realized the benefits of using software to prototype and iterate on the game design before manufacturing the final product.
After all the work of development, the final choices of card stock, packaging type, and printing process were much more nerve-wracking and difficult than I had anticipated. Once the game was in my hands, I was so excited by the result and still find it hard to believe that this real physical product was something I created.
The question is... can you guess the Odd Topix I was given for this post?
