The store entry for That’s the Spirit bird game. “A game of deduction, second guessing, and unfortunate ghosts”

The store entry for Club Spooky. “A game of picky creatures and bidding for attention”

Now that the ks is officially fulfilled, Club Spooky and That’s the Spirit are now available!

I’ve also got a few review copies set aside, so if you do reviews and are interested, send me a DM!

Reminder that applications for the indie tabletop market at PaxWest close on the 19th!

Leave all of your belongings, but please imagine where 80,000 bonus miles could take you. To fasten your seat belt, brought to you by Toyota…”

I’ve enjoyed some of the Rookie/Battle decks from Card Kingdom for this!(never taught Commander though)

Coming soon: Walkable City - the Urban Planning Boardgame Asymmetric Cooperative boardgame about building a city without cars.

Almost exactly 3 years ago I started working on a game about public transit & reducing car dependency. And on Wednesday the Kickstarter campaign for the game goes live!

You may have heard by now that we did have a break-in at the tea house this morning. There are three major inconveniences we're dealing with because of this:

Forage + Honeypot A pair of fast and fun games for everyone, from the team that brought you the smash hits Point Salad, Calico, and Cascadia!

It's live!! The game I designed, Honeypot, just launched on Kickstarter!

Two years of loving work. Would be grateful if you checked it out & considered backing!

It's an "I stack, you choose" game where you play as secret agent bears setting and avoding traps!

A banana bonanza!

Thank you!

Sounds like a good omen! Hope to see you there, and maybe we can catch a game.

I’ll be there as an attendee this year for more gaming potential—hope we can catch a game sometime!

We’re honored—thank you so much!!

Q1 2026 🎉

That’s an awesome idea!

Okay, I’ve put them up in the shop! I must stress that these are veeeeeery unlikely to get to y’all in time for Christmas. I’m actually still assembling these sets so consider this a sort of preorder. thecreepingmoon.store/products/fan...

A book with roadrunners and game rules, a run of cards J-Q-Q-A with a wooden token on the second queen, a larger wooden token engraved with “TEXAS”, and some smaller tokens atop two Jokers.

New free game download! Roadrunner is a climbing/card-shedding game for 3-5 players from our Texas book of new card games that is live on Kickstarter right now. Use speed tokens to boost card values, and aim to empty your hand of cards each round! gameswell.itch.io/roadrunner

@cardboardtime.bsky.social @boardgameghee.bsky.social looks like we’ll hopefully get some games in there! I’ll be there Saturday and Sunday and would love to meet up.

Booked my travel to OrcaCon! Excited to be going as an attendee this year for more games and such.

I enjoyed it as a lunch game with colleagues! It hit right at that weight with gamer friends but might be a bit much for non-gamers unless they want to learn or are okay ignoring what other people are doing on their turns. It does have a good theme to pull people in though.

These are awesome!

Took a true sick day today. Video games played:
- Slay the Spire
- Hades
- Super Mario Strikers
- Silksong

I’m right there with you—hope you recover well and have the best leftovers

Beautiful!

My notebook entry from the flight home looks shockingly similar to this. Hope it was successful, and it was great to meet you this weekend!

I accept!
