Rolling in Wonderland! This dice-drafting game is the second from Bellows Intent. Approachable for the casuals in your life, with enough crunch for core gamers.

Parks! I was impressed how a full 5p game could fit on a friend's live edge coffee table. It's a good reminder that a full game experience doesn't require a massive footprint.

Hansa Teutonica! I got to introduce a new player to this top-5 game, and it's always a treat to see their understanding develop from beginning to end.

Whereas I normally try to teach people the bare minimum to start playing, Hansa Teutonica is one where you really need to know every rule from the start. Fortunately, there aren't all that many rules.

Root! I played a four-person game in person for the first time in years. The woodland alliance squeaked out a victory. 🦊 👑

Gen Con 2025 was a blast! As an independent publisher, there is nothing more meaningful than connecting with the most passionate gamers in the world.

We demoed Rolling in Wonderland, sold An Age Contrived, and gave snippets of information about our next major release.

Chronari The Entropic

Responsible for managing the entropic balance of Eldranir, they seek out areas of cosmic disturbance, reversing or accelerating entropy where needed.

Chronari is the first of two new characters in Folklore & Pilgrimage. Their abilities focus on time manipulation.

A box preview for the major upcoming expansion to An Age Contrived: Folklore & Pilgrimage.

Over the coming weeks, we'll be previewing this expansion in advance of a Kickstarter campaign launching on February 5, 2025. Here are a few reasons why it is worth your attention:

🗻 An essential expansion: Integrating seamlessly and cohesively, this expansion completes the experience. Our early players choose to include it in every play, without exception.

🗻 Created from feedback: As our sincere attempt to listen and respond, players get more of what they like in the base game and improvements upon what they find lacking.

🗻 Twists without complexity: In just a few pages of rules, exploit the game’s existing systems for new strategies, player interaction, thematic integration, and dramatic moments.

🗻 Three distinct parts: A collection of two new characters and two independent modules allows you to create the type of experience that your group prefers.
