We're working on art for a Nature module called Salmon Run. This component will have a marker to keep track of the number of salmon in the river.

Someone played 2 different games of Nature with 3 modules in the same evening! The first game took nearly 3 hours.
That's dedication. 🥰

Evolution: Climate is a bit less aggressive than the base game Evolution, but aggressive none the less.
We just released a redesign of Evolution called Nature. It removes all of the snowballing that takes place when you've been targeted or made a crucial mistake.

After an unsuccessful attempt to play Vantage, my daughter and I settled on two fantastic games of The Four Doors and one contentious game of Exploding Kittens. It was an epic evening!

My daughter and I played The Four Doors designed by @mattleacock.bsky.social and published by @happycampergames.bsky.social. The first was phenomenally good. I can’t wait to play more.
