My yesterday in reverse order, from completed Christmas decorations back to prepping and having my morning coffee ☺️ I really enjoy making these and I hope they'll be at least as popular as last year and at UKGE this year 🤞

Malus Hortus is full of influences from my life long love of fantasy. The idea of Malus Hortus is that any being could be lured into this evil garden from any realm, through Critter and Night cards you'll meet fantasy creatures from all over the place, a Wendigo, Satyr and Troll to name a few...

Malus Hortus is beautiful 😍 the samples arrived and I'm so so happy ☺️

My favourite change from the prototype version of Malus Hortus to the pre production sample. The removal of the plastic standee bases and use of slotted grey board has made me very happy, no plastics in the game at all now and it means more standees can fit on each space on the board.

It's that time of year when I need to do a massive restock before Christmas sales set in, I always have to make twice as much purple stuff, it's by far the most popular colour for anything, especially The Board Game Survival Kits. There's a lot of work to do, however...

I found this perfect autumnal yarn, obviously I needed to make mini dice bags and pair it with the orange and yellow mini dice ☺️🧡💛
