Here is one of the 18 ingredient's for our upcoming roleplaying game: The Family Dinner. For this game we wanted the art to have that "old cookbo...

Hey everyone, we're back with another Friday Art Preview but before we start I just want to inform you that the Flipuzzles #1 Frog has been uploaded to the dropbox at the link below. And for all of you who received a physical Flipuzzles card, just want to let you know that the rules are now available. Just follow the same link below.
Before we start we have some important information for all patrons:
We've recently reached 1000 postcard+ level patrons, and as a result we needed to lock down the postcard levels. You may have already seen this through Patreon or our discussions on Discord about it. We added some new levels, but they are US/UK only at this time and do not include the postcard game. The PNP files will be in the Dropbox for all supporters.
What does this mean? Not much for the vast majority. ...

Hi Everyone, with so many projects in the works we thought it would be nice to share incoming and in progress art every Friday. You'll see that this art is in varying states of completion. Some stuff may look like complete cards ready to go into production and others may be drafts or early artworks. Each project is in a different stage of development and the artwork may reflect that.

Hi, we are getting ready to ship the March packages and we noticed a small error in the content card.

ROVE is a solo spatial puzzle game. In each game of ROVE, the player will face a series of mishaps that can only be solved by arranging the 6 module cards in a specific pattern. Moving a module requires Movement Points gained by discarding cards from hand for the listed amount. Players may gain additional Points if their current module layout matches the pattern shown on the discarded card.
Each module costs 1 Movement Point per activation and uses its own unique movement style, such as...

We went through and redacted any reference to giveaways in previous posts at Patreon's request and will no longer be holding any giveaways here. We are sorry for all those that enjoyed them, and we hope to find other ways to provide additional content (and ask you silly questions). Thanks!

I Guess This Is It is a two-player game about saying goodbye. Players take the role of two people once strongly connected standing before each other in the final minutes before their last goodbye. They will work together to try and say as much as they can before leaving, but being careful not to hurt each other's feelings.
(If that sounds too heavy, you can also play it from a light-hearted fictional perspective like Ringo Starr quitting the Beatles during a conce...

We are catching up on BGOTMC here and I just want to thank everyone for being so patient. We are all caught up through October.

It's hard to believe that is already in sight. But we have some big changes in the last few months and we are more prepared than ever. We know almost the entire year's Wallet Games, plus our postcard game, 9 cards, and even more for Patreon. Almost all of next year's releases are already planned and in development. We have SO MANY new games to tease today so let's just get right into it.

Before we get into Black Friday - a quick shipping note from Jason for International $5 and $10 Patrons:
Hey everyone, as you know we are catching up on all of the old stuff. But we are having an issue with International Letter Rate, which is the service we use on the $5 and $10 envelopes. They disabled it on our shipping account and the process to get it back takes 48-72 hours. So we're probably stuck until Monday. (I should also note we've been through this process 3 times now wit...

In Skulls of Sedlec, you play as a novice monk competing to create the best arrangement of skulls for the Sedlec Ossuary following the Black Plague and Hussite Wars. Dig up graves from the graveyard to reveal cards, take cards into your hand to collect skulls, and arrange the cards from your hand into a stack. Whoever better honors the deceased’s last wishes will score more points. The Bone Collector will then declare one player's stack as the most exceptional.
As a member you will r...

Hey it's Jason here jumping in with the news. There's a lot going on here right now, and a lot of big steps being made, but all behind the scenes. I feel like we already mentioned that George is starting here full-time next week. That is going to be huge for the club, as it is his main responsibility. He will be working all ends of the club (as opposed to being the face of it that he's been for the last few months). It can't come soon enough, a...

Hey everyone, it's time for the September Preview! We've been super busy working on a bunch of new titles and while it's so much fun, it's also a ton of work. So, my apologies for sending out the preview a day late. I'm also sorry but today's preview will be showing some prototype cards instead of the final product. Usually I like to have the images as close to the finished product as possible, but the art is about a week away from being completed. This is still a great way to show you what t...
