Happy Pride, everyone! 💜 This June, remember to support real queer creators and queer-lead businesses (especially small ones) instead of queer-washed corporations just after your money. (Cont.)

Unlike Tetris, which is an empty board that you fill and make lines by rotating pieces; Collapsus is a full board you remove pieces from and you make lines by removing pieces (using a resource management mechanic!

We had a great time grilling out and cleaning up litter here downtown at our last "Un-Junk The Block" for the year! Our next one is in Spring! Co-ops, unlike normal businesses, have a duty to better their community... It's baked right into the structure! We wouldn't have it any other way :)

October is National Co-op Month AND 2025 is the UN "International Year of Cooperatives"! Since Wraith Games is a worker co-op, we figured the best way to celebrate would be to share some info about co-ops and why they're rad! Ya'll ready for a thread?
