Another banger video from Board Gems ahead of our Kickstarter tomorrow. And with a thoughtful section on OG eurogames, emergent complexity, interaction, and 'replayability'

Why Kickstart Bridges of Shangri-La? Sometimes publishing a game is calculated. You look at the market, you see a gap, and a compelling product. Sometimes a game is so good you don’t think. You shrug, and say ‘we are doing this, and figure the rest out later'. Bridges of Shangri-La was the latter

Why are we kickstarting a new edition of Mexica? With the amount of time we spend these days tethered to the internet, games were you play with big, chunky, tactile wooden pieces are even more fun in 2026 than they were in 2002. And Mexica was already great in 2002!

The Bridges of Shangri-La, from @playforkeepsgames.bsky.social We awarded this game our "Game of the Show" at the @ukgamesexpo because, quite frankly, it's bloody good!

Why are we kickstarting Reel Rivals? We're suckers for area control games where you build the areas while competing over them. And Reel Rivals take this recipe and sprinkles on top of it dastardly, and often decisive turn order bidding.

Ahead our our upcoming Kickstarter, this is the first in our series of 'why we published this game' posts. Gheos is a rebellion against tabletop publishing trends. It gets better with repeated plays. It is tactical, and deeply interactive. It is a huge game in a small box with a short playtime.

SU&SD recommends My Favourite Things - "For my money the best game on this list" Lets-a-go! Might be a good time to grab a copy from our website as we've only got a few hundred left and no reprint on the way because of orange man.

Eye My Favorite Things and Can’t Stop were both big hits with the fam tonight. I’m getting really good at curating games to play at family gatherings - to the point that they now ask me to bring games!
