Black Friday is TOMORROW! Here we come full circle to Union Station! It was on the train home that Downtown Las Palmas was first sparked. This Thanksgiving I'm very grateful to the @buttonshy crew for taking a chance on a first-time card game designer. Happy playing!

2 days! I've started seeing people posting about my game after picking up advance copies at PAXU. It's a cool feeling! After I took this picture at City Hall I paused to reflect on the journey I'd taken, both through town and as a game designer. Where will the road take me next?

3 days to Downtown Las Palmas! The turquoise of the terracotta, the art deco style, and the grand 4-sided clock make the Eastern Columbia Building one of the most breathtaking structures in downtown LA! Are you ready for @buttonshy's Black Friday sale? buttonshygames.com/collectio…

4 more days to Downtown Las Palmas! I wanted a building that fit the shape of a wide card without any sky in it, but wasn't a boring box either. The NHM is one of my favorite museums ever! It isn't a perfect rectangle but was simple to adapt to this shape. @buttonshy #cardgame

8 days to Downtown Las Palmas! (for real now) The dragons of the Gateway Monument welcome you to Chinatown! I had a card with a section of sky between 2 smaller buildings and wanted to pull different features from various shops and gardens, plus dragons! #buttonshy #DTLA

9 more days...? until Downtown Las Palmas! (I'll fix the countdown later) I love learning about the rich diversity in LA and how it's represented in its architecture. I wanted to reflect some of that in my game as well. This mosque is one of the few in town that has a minaret!

10 days to Downtown Las Palmas! This is home to the LA branch of Hawk Anamorphic: When I saw the ivy-covered building on the train ride I knew I wanted it in my deck. It took some work to figure out how to translate it into a card, but we settled on this textured look.

11 days to Downtown Las Palmas! The vibrant colors of this historic street had to take a back seat for players to understand which parts could score points, but I had fun adding little details to these store fronts that celebrate Mexican culture. #buttonshy #DTLA #cardgames

12 days to Downtown Las Palmas! Today we have the Tower Theatre on Broadway. This card started out as a church when I sketched it, but I had a 2nd church design so I looked for a building that would fit the silhouette. I liked this theatre's clock for "The Times" bonus goal!
