One of the few games to get a reprint within New Mill, and now it is getting a new edition from @25thcentury.games

If you're giving a copy of the new edition of The Six of VIII as a gift, @25thcentury.games made holiday card inserts for the games.

We made holiday card inserts for the games in our current Kickstarter campaign, in case folks were giving any away as gifts.

Plus, this happened today...KS awarded it the Project We Love status!

Link to the holiday card folder is on the campaign page.

I'm sure Rheinlander and Ra TDG are great (haven't played) but if you want the Stu Bundle, games I stand 100% behind:

Six of VIII
Cup the Crab
Hits & Outs
Phantom of the Opera
Orbita

These are all bangers
And we are live! Our newest Kickstarter includes three new games we are producing: Rheinlander, RA the Dice Game, and The Six of VIII (note that is the original box art from the first edition). We also have 7 new imports you can add to create your own bundles.

Six of VIII by @indigopotter.bsky.social, one of my favorite trick takers is getting a much deserved second run as part of this Kickstarter.

It is a snappy and fun team trick taker that has a lot Bridge elements but without the complex scoring mechanics that often make Bridge hard for new players.

Updated versions of 2 classic Reiner Knizia games with artwork from Ian O'Toole. Plus The Six of VIII and 7 new Import Titles for 2026.

Pls consider ordering a book from your local indie bookshop *NOW* before holiday season to give store time to order title if they don't have it? This helps:

(1) support indie bkshops, (2) support human creators, (3) gets you ahead re: busy shopping time.

Psst: maybe one of my books? 🙏🏽💛 #KidLit

The Six of VIII and many more New Mill games featured in this new video from Board Game Animal.

Timely if you're thinking about holiday gifts, or getting a lot of game play in smaller boxes/with a smaller budget.
