In case you missed it in the run up to SPIEL, we shared an October Studio Update last month over on BGG. It covered the launch of our new webstore, updates on our upcoming games, and a heads up that we’ll be at Spellenspektakel this weekend.

Crafting up a special prototype in the sun with a coffee.

We'd be curious to know if any pubs out there aren't using the Adobe Cloud suite and if so how has the interaction with factories been using other, potentially free layout software?
Another question for #boardgame designers and publishers around! 🎲✂️

What's your preferred software for writing up and designing the instruction manual?

I'm using Adobe Illustrator at the moment, and it's going ok, but I wonder if there are better options, especially when reorganizing the content.

We are a small publisher / two people and we would never take the stance that gen AI tools would help us. We second this notion that if you are trying to pay artists, you'll find a way, if what you're making has an audience. People want human-made art!
I’ve seen people defend its usage because ‘it helps small publishers & designers’. But most board game studios are really small (handful of people), and they manage to pay their artists, so I don’t think there’s any real excuse to be this sloppy and infringe on other’s work.

As an avid supporter of print-and-play roll-and-write #BoardGames, I'm dismayed by the increase of "AI art" used by the designers.

This is what I sent to a designer today. So bummed, the game looks good. But there are lots of good games coming out and I'll toss my $ at those not using AI "art".

Woohoo! We always love hearing that #SeizeTheBean makes someone happy.🤗☕
I like the theme alot. #CoffeeTraders ist also a "Coffee" game but not so thematic.
When digging into the Coffee theme my favorite game is still #SeizetheBean

We sold out #PhilosopyBoardGame and #Kruidgewas (our Dutch version of #PencilFirstGame's lovely #Herbaceous) at #Spellenspektakel! No surprise there, as both games are delightful - though we're a bit biased of course. 😉

If you were at Spellenspektakel, let us know what you took home with you!

We're gonna be at #Spellenspektakel this weekend showing off #TowersOfTheSun, selling limited copies of #SeizeTheBean and Philosophy, and offering our usual range of Dutch games. Come by booth 1106A to visit us if you're in Utrecht!

If you're still hunting a copy of #SeizeTheBean you may be in luck: we'll have limited stock of the English base game and add-ons at #Spellenspektakel in Utrecht this weekend. Come visit us at booth 1106A if you're around the Netherlands!
