I had a chance to play Wispwood recently and I'm thinking it should go on the Christmas list 🤔

I have a few other ideas for gaming themed Christmas decorations coming so stay tuned ☺️

I've been making these adorable crocheted plushie button dice as Christmas tree decorations. I love them and want to make more but they do take ages to make so it's hard to know if anyone would want to pay £15.99 for an entirely handmade decoration?

It's a gaming kind of a day ❤️

I've been working on the box art for the Malus Hortus expansion. I'm hoping a close up of the evil Hellebore will look cool on the box

Thank you so much! ☺️

Thank you! I put so much effort into it at the time and then you can barely see it on the 6cm pieces 😅

I recently completed my @sdrgames.bsky.social collection. I can't wait to try and save earth, and then learn to live in the wasteland left behind if I don't. Does anyone else have an indie designer that you just have to get all of their games?

I'm hoping people either wouldn't mind or would like the idea 🤞

It's prototyping time 😁 I'm working on a way to make the Malus Hortus expansion cardless so I can hand make it 😊. I could do with people's opinions: Do you think people will be ok with the base game being mass produced and the expansion handmade?

Thank you! Awww I wish the UK were like that. We're not used to heat so we're not prepared for it 🙈 it's 32C today and 34C tomorrow

Lots of crochet has been happening. Along with the plushie dice there are plenty of new mini dice bags to pair with the adorable teeny dice!

Atikin Games @atikingames.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
Time to restock my gorgeous plushie dice. Most of the last batch have sold and it's taken me a while to get around to it but they're coming together 😊

Another Captain post, so soon? Well of course as he's decided to help play test the Malus Hortus expansion, and generally testing the durability of the base game 😅 I'm happy to say it has so far stood up to cat attacks.

I've been struggling to get back in the routine of posting. So let's call this #mascotmonday as Captain takes "if it fits, I sits" to a whole new level

It's the new necklaces that came with me to UKGE, I really enjoyed making them and can't wait to make more/take photos so I can actually sell them online 😅

I have been restocking after UKGE/working through a chest infection. I did play through my ideas for the Malus Hortus expansion and I'm getting excited for it... Of course it's super top secret though so no photos yet ☺️

I'm finally past my UKGE burnout and want to share all my favourite photos from the weekend with you. I'm going in chronological order and trying to use it to get back in the swing of posting regularly 😅. Starting with the rainbow dice and chains necklace! 1/2 #dicegoblin #ukgamesexpo

I'm in hall 4 on stand 337 and I've made a little map to help you find me. If you come in through the main entrance of hall 4 and immediately turn left, you then turn right up Campbell Avenue and after a very short walk you'll find me on your left where Campbell Avenue meets Larry Street. 5/5

Some of you may have been to my stand before, I hand craft a lot of games and gaming accessories, most notably The Board Game Survival Kits which allows you to play more games as your favourite colour. 4/5

...otherwise you can drop by and see if the table is free. With every purchase of Malus Hortus at UKGE I have some button badges as a slight incentive 😊 you can choose whether you're on team day or team night and also your favourite little flower badge (whilst badges last). 3/5

Atikin Games @atikingames.bsky.social · 28/05/2026
...only for the flowers to turn evil and attack at night. It takes 30-60 minutes to play depending on player count. For UKGE my husband will be running quick 20 minute taster demos, I have a sign up sheet if you'd like to message me to schedule a time... 2/5

Atikin Games will be exhibiting at UKGE for my 5th year running and my flagship game, Malus Hortus, will be on sale for the first time this year. If you haven't seen Malus Hortus before it is a 1-4 player cooperative game about an evil garden that lures you in with its beauty by day... 1/5

...I've been working on a nice display for it, please come by and see it on stand 4-337 if you'll be at UKGE. I'm working on a lot of new products to bring along as well as restocking my best sellers, more on that in my next posts 😁 2/2

Malus Hortus is coming to UKGE! Who else is excited? I'm super excited! For those who don't know the Malus Hortus prototype has been at UKGE many times for play testing and demos but this time I have production copies to bring and sell 🤞... 1/2

With UKGE on the horizon it's massive restock time. I started with Board Game Survival Kits, just finished mint tin games and next I'm alternating between accessories that have sold well in the past and new products I've wanted to make for a while 😊... 1/2

I'm mostly getting things sorted so that I can go on a real live holiday next week 😊 but also slowly working on making some props for a Malus Hortus display at UKGE, I can't wait to be able to share photos

I haven't played Catan in soooo long. It was very nice to get a game to the table, 2 victory points away from the win but beaten by my buddy, well deserved. #boardgames
