    What is Shadow Puppets?

    Shadow Puppets is an expansion for the Doomlings deck builder game. You will need the base game to play with these cards. Make sure you check out my full review of the base game.

    What is Doomlings

    Doomlings is a quirky little card game about the end of the world. Players take turns building a strong gene pool from cards they pull from a collective deck. Each card has a value and some have abilities that interact with other cards or players. For example, a card can allow a player to draw more cards each round, giving them a slight advantage. Each round has its unique set of rules based on the age or catastrophe card in play. For example, a card can force players to only play a certain color card. The game ends when four catastrophe cards are played and the winner is the player with the most points.

    How to play

    Games with Denver James has a fantastic tutorial that you should watch before you get started. Make sure you give him a like and a follow.

    What is Shadow Puppets

    Shadow Puppets is a darker themed expansion that essentially allows players to play trap cards. It allows players to disrupt a players turn, swap cards, and even give away cards. It also introduces the subvert mechanic which allows players to sacrifice Doomlings for points. What makes Shadow Puppets unique is is dark edgy flavor of both the abilities and artwork. The set does have a few demonic looking Doomlings. This is your trigger warning.

    Review

    The Shadow Puppets expansion brings some surprisingly needed dark humor, with interesting mechanics that only make the game more fun. If you like the flavor of the set and need some more trap cards, go get yourself a copy.

    Quality

    Doomlings is a high quality card game with some very good looking game pieces. The Shadow Puppets Bolster expansion is no exception. The cards are a little thinner than I am used to, but the art and quality of the card stock is as excellent as ever. I still recommend using sleeves. I may be a crazy person that sleeves everything, but it really makes shuffling the cards easier. You will be shuffling this game a lot, and the sleeves will help preserve the game.

    Mechanics

    I absolutely love the mechanics for this set. Nor only is each new species flavorful, the interactions it creates are so much fun. I love the fact that at any moment, you can just disrupt a persons turn or strait up ruin their whole strategy. There is a card that lets that lets you swap gene pools. You can build a bad pool on purpose to swap with someone who is actively trying to win and ruin their day. It’s like the blue shell in Mario, but with more control. Of course, someone can just swap hands with you and ruin your strategy. That feels pretty balanced to me.

    I really like the ages in this expansion. One lets you draw 3 and discard 2. This creates some very tough choices, but it is always fun to draw cards. The other mechanic lets you swap hands, and this can absolutely ruin someone’s day. If you want a set with a lot of disruption, Shadow Puppets is fantastic.

    Conclusion

    I love Doomlings and recommend to anyone who wants a fun and simple game to pull out at game night. The game is easy to teach, especially for people new to the hobby, and the game is family friendly. Most importantly, it is very easy to set up and take down. Games of Doomlings are pretty quick, but the interactions make it meaningful.

    Now if you’re looking for an expansion, Shadow Puppets is awesome. The disruptive nature of the expansion gives the game a layer of fun I didn’t think it needed. It has definitely earned its spot with the rest of my collection.

    You can pick up your copy of Shadow Puppets on the official Doomlings website, or on Amazon through my affiliate link.

  8. 🐈‍⬛ Marvin’s 5th Day of Christmas: The Gift of Visual Rhythm — Lights & Ornaments ✨

    Marvin, one spiraling galaxy eye & one warm live eye, inspects twinkling fairy lights and glittering ornaments 🎄🐾

    Each flicker, reflection, & shadow is a tiny visual boundary in motion.
    He purrs, noting how pattern, spacing, & timing create sensory boundary resets. Just like music phase aligns hearing, these visual rhythms synchronize perception & emotion.

    🔬 Insight
    Light intervals & spacing → neural coherence
    Color patterns → cone activation & symmetry perception
    Predictable flickers → memory & emotional encoding
    Cross-domain analogy → visual + auditory boundary alignment

    ✨ Marvin’s Takeaway
    Enjoying lights isn’t just festive — it’s a reset of perception, a calibration of boundaries, & a celebration of phase alignment. One sparkle at a time.

    Perdidos En El Éter #661 - Birds of Prey (por Gail Simone y Ed Benes) (Parte I)

    Recibimos a Maxi, de La Biblioteca de Ultron para charlar de lo que nos gusta: comics. En esta ocasión, vamos a hacer la RE: seña del primer tomo de la etapa de Gail Simone en Birds of Prey, el comic que la catapultó al mainstream del género de superhéroes. No solo la convirtió en una guionista estrella, sino que llevó al equipo fundado por Oracle y Black Canary a ser uno de los grupos más conocidos de DC. Con lápices de Ed Benes, tintas de Alex Lei, color de Hi-Fi, y rotulado de John Workman (entre otros).

    Con música de L7, y Kiss.

  15. Good morning, #WritingCommunity. A new chapter is live! I've been away from this story for a while and it's time to get right back into the nitty gritty of it.

    If you're a fan of #StarWars, then I have a story for you. This one's called #ShadowsOfDesire. It's lore heavy, storyline driven, goes into deep detail about the Galactic Empire's exploits, and revolves around Moff Tarkin (not yet Grand Moff) and an original character named Lady Nolana Disa (a Sith) and the affair they will eventually have.

    Tit for tat. Willhuff decides to help Nolana with her training as well.

    You can read Chapter 6 here: archiveofourown.org/works/6278

  19. May the 4th with you!

    Here's a good opportunity for a writer such as myself. If you're a fan of #StarWars, my wonderful #WritingCommmunity, then I've got a little something for you. Enjoy!

    Governor Tarkin has enough on his plate as it is. Times are rapidly changing, and the Empire is growing stronger as the days pass. A new Intelligence Officer is appointed to the governor's command, though, and one wonders how will the two get along. He has never made it a secret how he feels about Force-users, even if he hides behind pleasantries and the neutrality in his words. There's only one exception to the rule: Lord Vader, but could there ever be another in the future?

  24. #WordWeavers 3.17 — How organized are your characters?

    This is a fantastic prompt.

    Here's a few:

    • Governor Tarkin: He's a clever man. He's prepared for any outcome. He's forever organized to a fault when it comes to notes and battle strategy. His home, however? Or his personal quarters aboard the ship? Both are clean and organized as well. (His wife keeps his home clean.)
    • Lady Nolana Disa: Halfway organized. She's always prepared but never sure of what's to come. She lives out of a suitcase as well.
    • Director Orson Krennic: Messy notes on his datapad, clean living quarters. He's a contradiction.
    • Emperor Palpatine: He is, of course, an organized man, but only because everyone else "cleans" for him.
    • Lord Vader: Does it even need explaining?
