First ride from the new Pinehurst station 💚 It’s been awesome to see how quickly Link has expanded over the past couple years, and it’s a bummer to see its future expansion being delayed My appetite for trains is as bottomless in real life as it is in board games

She ended up giving it to me at the end of the trip, along with way more games than the single copy of Overgrown I gave her is worth. I ended up loving the game as much as I loved the box. It somehow manages to pack a huge amount of game into its actually accurate 60 min suggested playtime.

Myself (Bryan from Good Time Hat) and my friend who helped me out at Gateway 2026 playing Across the United States. The game setup comprises a central board which is a map of the US, alongside various cards and tokens.

I was super lucky to be boothing next to someone selling games from her various international trips. I was enamored by this game, and how could I not be? Box art straight from board games' "expressionless man" era, inexplicable typography choices in the title, and just look at this diagram!

Box art for the board game Across the United States by Hisashi Hayashi. It features an expressionless man standing in front of a train.

A very busy diagram detailing all the features of the game. Its text is all in japanese, so I do not know what it says.

Hello Gateway! First con with actual copies of 🌿Overgrown🌿 to sell. Looking forward to showing people the game during the day and playing some new games at night. We have a little photo booth at our table for people to find their favorite animal/ecosystem combinations! 📸

Due to unfortunate timing, I was out of town when Overgrown arrived at the warehouse last week. I finally got to open a case for myself today, and it’s overwhelming to finally see the end result of this long journey. Now help me get rid of them! Get a copy at goodtimehat.com/overgrown#Bu...

It’s been a minute since I played Everdell. It’s still one of my most admired game productions I used to be turned off by games with random markets, but my heart has been softened to their more easy going vibe It still feels bad to be waiting on a card you know exists and not receive it though 😅

Everdell set up on a table towards the end of the game. Both players have many buildings played in front of them

I don't have it in me to just be solely negative about something on the internet, so I'm doing a little compliment sandwich: - No Thanks! is one of my favorite pub games - The Magenta Edition of No Thanks! is a legibility nightmare - I love these little guys

The tokens from the magenta edition of No Thanks!; each token has a little unique smiley face on it

Super excited for the Future of Games expo in Olympia next weekend! Can't wait to meet more folks in the WA tabletop industry and check out some of the panels. Having the manufactured PPC of Overgrown to share while I'm there is definitely a bonus. Let me know if you're going to be there!

Contents of Overgrown laid out on a table, include wildlife pieces, player boards, landscape tiles, element tiles, wildlife cards, and drafting board.

🌿Overgrown🌿 is LIVE and already funded! Not only that, but we've hit our first stretch goal! I couldn't be happier with the response we've seen so far and I can't wait to get Overgrown into people's hands 🎉

Apple seems to have largely moved away from lashing out at their competitors in their advertising. So seeing this UI artifact of a windows machine being represented by a blue-screening breadbox was almost nostalgic 😂

Went on a trip to Yellowstone and couldn’t resist taking a few pics of 🌿Overgrown🌿 next to some of the landmarks. Now it’s time to hunker down and get ready for launch!

Got the preview copies of 🌿Overgrown🌿 from @pandagm.com! I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out and can’t wait to start sending them to folks to preview. Be sure the follow us on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/goo...

You ever launch a board game on Kickstarter to loosely justify finally learning Blender? ... That would be crazy 😅 Anyway, follow the Kickstarter for 🌿Overgrown🌿! www.kickstarter.com/projects/goo...

We're launching our first game on Kickstarter later this year! It's a competitive spatial puzzle game with a verdant apocalypse setting. www.kickstarter.com/projects/goo... I am very slowly learning to self-promote more 😅

Our first video for 🌿Overgrown🌿 is complete! We figured we’d start with a short and sweet overview before getting to the longer videos. I’m happy with the way it turned out, but definitely want to keep improving as we work our way towards the Kickstarter campaign video!

Had such a great time at PAX Unplugged! Got some Christmas shopping in, and of course got to demo 🌿Overgrown🌿 to a bunch of attendees. It’s always fun chatting with new people.

Got a copy of Overgrown with the final artwork & revisions made and it arrived today!

A set up copy of the game Overgrown, including cards depicting tile patterns, piles of tiles depicting new growth surrounding abandoned buildings, and 2 player boards surrounding a large central board. A hand is grabbing a pair of tiles from the central board.
