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

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

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.

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.
