Been playing a lot of Fall Festival, the new, small expansion to @keymastergames.bsky.social’s excellent Harvest. It’s a great, subtle addition to the game that ends up bigger in impact than expected. It doesn’t change up the nature of the game, but certainly leans in sharply. #boardgames

Last day to back Hanami on Kickstarter! 🌸
Play the original Samurai ruleset or an updated twist with new challenges, new abilities, and new tiles. The rules are as simple as the gameplay is deep.
Back now for a FREE mini expansion and other Kickstarter perks.

Hanami is live on Kickstarter! 🌸
Dr. Reiner Knizia’s beloved tile-laying game Samurai is back, reimagined as an afternoon in the parks of Japan, where you’ll be viewing sakura blossoms, eating your picnic lunch, and enjoying an evening under the lanterns.
Back Hanami now at the link in our bio!
Pack your bento box, grab your picnic blanket, and find the perfect spot under the treetops. 🌸

Yes, we just posted one!
Thank you! It's one of our all-time favorites, too!
Looks like @keymastergames.bsky.social is cooking up a remix of Samurai with a great new theme! This looks awesome. www.kickstarter.com/projects/key...
When springtime comes to Japan, people flock to parks and gardens, bring their picnic lunches, and vie for the best spots to view the sakura blossoms.
It’s a tradition called hanami, and it’s the newest Keymaster game coming to Kickstarter soon! 🌸

Hi there! Our team is working on plans to bring this to our web store later this year, but we don't have any specifics on the timeline we can share yet. We'll share more details in our newsletter once we're closer to that date!
My player board in Parks! I have two parks reserved.
The new Parks is very well made. Good job @keymastergames.bsky.social !!!!
I've decided to just go for an all duel game week, and today's review is for Caper Europe by @keymastergames.bsky.social. In this two-player game you play spy and gear cards to complete the most exciting heists in each of three unique locations. I enjoy the tactics and art, especially!
Thanks @keymastergames.bsky.social for the breakfast and playground of Parks 2nd Edition! Excited to hit the trails again. 🌳🌄 #GAMA
Harvest is an overhaul of an out-of-print game, brought back last year by @keymastergames.bsky.social, with better mechanics, a much better board, and a great take on the common theme of farming games. my review for @pastemagazine.bsky.social: bit.ly/3F7FZoi
Thanks all. We will NEVER use AI art in any of our games and never want any AI art used in any of our marketing. We support all the human artists who pour so much of their talent into our games and we had this image taken down as soon as we saw it.
Thanks so much for this, @marcelineleiman.bsky.social. This was a miss from one of our partners and we had it pulled as soon as we saw it. Sorry that it got out and it will not happen again.
Nobody makes board game videos quite like @cardboardherald.bsky.social and we'd be all over this one even if it weren't about Parks Second Edition. Even if it didn't include a giveaway! But it is and it is and it is gorgeous.

What do we think about a Parks appreciation week. 🏞️

Well, we here! Early morning, it felt appropriate to go on a lil' hike through national parks as I got to share a first look at the newest Parks edition coming from @keymastergames.bsky.social .
I'd say #gamaexpo is off to a great start.
Parks 2nd Edition from @keymastergames.bsky.social over breakfast.
A great way to start #GAMAExpo day two.
This new version of the game includes the best of the best of the best of the expansions, improved components, new art and streamlined rules.
We both loved it!

A few plays of @keymastergames.bsky.social’s PARKS 2nd edition and I gotta admit, I’m impressed. I was a bit skeptical, but it’s a considerable update, tweaking various odds and ends while preserving the fundamentals. The look is also more cohesive and vibrant, though that’s a matter of taste.
A board game setup of “Trails” by Keymaster Games is displayed on a table. The game’s box, featuring an illustration of hikers in a forest, is visible in the background. The game components, including landscape cards with nature-inspired artwork, wooden player pieces (meeples), and resource cubes, are laid out. Two meeples, one white and one green, are placed on a trail card.
A close-up of the “Trails” board game in progress, showing several resource cubes in brown and green, a wooden die with icons, and a black wooden bear token. The landscape cards depict famous natural landmarks, including a golden sunset scene and a redwood forest. A bird trophy token, worth four points, is also visible.
Third Image: Another close-up of the “Trails” board game, focusing on the white hiker meeple standing next to a pile of green resource cubes. The game’s navigation and photography cards are partially visible in the foreground. The wooden die, additional brown resource cubes, and a scenic trail of landscape cards stretch across the table.
Sunday is perfect for a nature hike—whether outdoors or at the table. Like any hike in #Trails, today was a success, but I fell just short of the #BirdTrophy, losing by a single point. Next time, victory will be mine! #KeymasterGames #BoardGames 🗻🎲 @keymastergames.bsky.social
Playing PARKS at the park, how fun! @keymastergames.bsky.social

Thanks so much! Allison is truly the very best and we're lucky to have her!
Harvest by @keymastergames.bsky.social was great! Finally got around to playing it and we ended up playing 2x in a row, and 1x again the next day. Coincidentally, anyone who played Rose was the winner in the end 🪵 🪓 🐦⬛
Sure thing! It's 10.5x10.5x2.5 inches (but inside, it's MASSIVE).
Parks: Second Edition is coming in April! Explore the stunning beauty and wild wonder of all 63 U.S. National Parks in this new edition of our most-loved game. It's includes the best ideas from Parks and its expansions plus beautiful new art from Josh Emrich and Lisk Feng. You can preorder it now!
