The marmot! This is my favorite of the animals included in Cascadia: Alpine Lakes. Their whistles are amazing, and I once had a lovely whistling conversation with one in the mountains out here.

We ended up playing 43 unique games with 76 total plays! We played games with 23 different people and 24 of the games we played were new to us! The games took us approximately 44 hours to play, which means almost TWO full days of gaming!

Just one week left to back Club Spooky and That’s the Spirit! If you back now, you can get both games for $35 (they’ll be $25 each after the campaign). And of course, these games will only exist with your support.

I feel like if you don’t have art yet, it’s better to put in a blank “placeholder”
or royalty free clip art with placeholder language than use AI art and promise to replace it with real art later? It makes me skeptical and I avoid projects that do this.
