PAST EVENTS and THANKS:
PAX UNPLUGGED Dec 7th 2024 in Philly
I had an amazing time in the UNPUB room at PAX Unplugged! A heartfelt thank you to all the playtesters and everyone who stopped by to chat or grab a flyer.
A special shoutout to Bryan and Long, the first two to take a seat at the table and dive deep into Martian to the Moon. Their incredible input and dedication, (spending over six hours testing, evaluating, and refining mechanics) made this first official event-run playtest an unforgettable success.
I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to sit down with me at PAXU to help launch Martian to the Moon into the cosmos!
What’s next for Indie Martian
Two games are in playtesting and a third on the way! One simple yet extremely fun re-playable game, Martian to the Moon, turned into a desire to create:
Star*destined, a fun and easy to learn card drafting style game filled with deck building and strategic placement, master planning, action cards, and opponent interaction. Currently in playtesting.
-which then lead to-
Even another game, rules written, next up testing the concept and designing cards.
I can’t wait to play these games and share. 2025/26 is the goal, but it all comes down to play testing.
Will update along the way!

About Indie Martian™ Games
Inspired by hours of fun playing games with my nieces and family, one sleepless night, I imagined a game where players pass and collect cards leading to the ultimate countdown: 3, 2, 1, blast off!
Over a couple of years (since 2022), we played, laughed, and tweaked the game together, refining mechanics until Martian to the Moon was ready for liftoff.
Martian to the Moon’s creation process sparked a passion for game creation, mechanics, storytelling, and bringing people together to laugh and play through tabletop games.
