Only hours left in the Tide & Tangle campaign! If diving for tasty snacks as a Californian sea otter and rafting with your otter friends sounds like fun, this is your last chance—no late pledge planned.

Finally, the toughest critic: Szajba the Cat 🐾🎲. Her verdict on Tide & Tangle?

"Chilling in water? Unrealistic. I pity these water-cats. Catching fish was fun, though. 3/10. Now get me a box, human!" 🐟

🦦 Just 1 last day left to get Tide & Tangle—an indie DIY board game where otters swim, dive, and raft for treasures.

Tide & Tangle isn’t just about cute sea otters—it’s a tribute to my past life in California working in the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk 🎡 It was personally important to me to capture otters' all unique behaviors.

I made a diorama with the Tide & Tangle's origami otter floating over tasty ocean snacks. The game’s on Kickstarter for its final week (no late pledge). 🦦💙

Look at this cute little green guy, still unaware of the dangers waiting for him in the wide world! :)

The campaign has hit the final stage – aka panicking something won’t make it on time 🤌❤️

But it’s also the moment when months of hard work start paying off, like prepping preview copies a few days ago 🥰

Day 2 of Planszówki w Spodku may have been shorter, but it was packed with 2-player oceanic duels and new friends (shoutout to an unexpected Muggle & her crew)! 🌊🦦 Also great to demo Tide & Tangle to fellow designers!

Day 1 at Planszówki w Spodku was a blast! A young lady’s “It was awesome!” kicked things off, and a great mix of players enjoyed Tide & Tangle’s paper #PacificOcean🌊 Also, Korean-fusion + fries? Surprisingly good!
