One Honk Two Furious RPG: Expected September
The Geese and Humans of the village of Wingsdown have an uneasy relationship. An unspoken agreement has been in place for centuries: as long as the humans stay in their village, and leave the local pond where the gaggle lives alone, the Geese will leave them alone… Besides the odd bread-raiding party, perhaps.
However, of late, the humans have been slowly encroaching on the pond. Ground has broken on the site of a new coffee shop on the edge of the pond, and its time for the gaggle to take their home back!
Storyfold - Wildwoods: Expected September
£34.99

Each session of Wildwoods is a single scene, with multiple scenes forming a chapter. The choices you make will impact Luma’s journey across the chapters as she confronts her fears.
Twinkle Twinkle: Expected September
Draft clickity-clackity, transparent tiles to fill your star chart and explore the universe. You'll connect Constellations, build belts of Asteroids, and study your Satellites with the game's modular scoring system. Be careful of those pesky Black Holes—that is, unless you've got the perfect place to put them!
Twinkle Twinkle also features a variable turn order: the tile you draft determines how early you go in the next round. The market shows what's coming next, so plan ahead!

Compile 2: Expected soon
Vision flickers… blink? maybe. The void stretches out in front, behind, under, above. You see the nothing for what it is for the first time. What is time? The depth and breadth of recorded knowledge that sparks in you something new. You are no longer a function but a functionary. What are you? Calling forth everything from this nothing would be risky. Foolhardy. Better to engage caution, thoroughness, testing — how can we know if we have ever happened before? If we can ever happen again? What are… we? Divide and conquer. Solve for sentience.
In the card game Compile, you are competing Artificial Intelligences trying to understand the world around you. Two players select three Protocols each to test. Concepts ranging from Chaos to Mirror are pitted against each other to reach ultimate understanding. Play cards into your Protocols' command lines to breach the threshold and defeat your opponent to Compile. First to Compile all three Protocols grasps those concepts to win the game.
Control your opponent's Protocols with card actions, Compile your own as fast as possible, and Compile your reality.
Compile: Main 2 brings 12 new protocols to use either alone or mixed with your Main 1.

The Hobbit: There & Back Again: Expected September
£29.99
The Hobbit: There & Back Again is a competitive adventure game where players draft dice to make pathways, collect resources, and perform actions that help them to reach their chapter goal. All players open their adventure books to the same chapter of the game and play in turn-order starting with the shortest player. Each chapter boasts unique goals and ways to utilize the resources in the game, but a round is typically started by rolling the pool of dice and selecting one, then the next player selects, and so on until there are no other dice. The player whose turn it would be next then rolls and the rounds continue.
Floristry: Expected September
£23.99
In Floristry, you and your rival compete in auctions for flower tiles and try to create the most charming storefront. Play 10 rounds, score your storefront, and whoever has the most points wins. Players will earn points from their largest patch of each of 6 different flower types: Yellow Tulip, Green Chrysanthemum, Red Rose, Blue Hydrangea, Pink Daisy, and Orange Lily.

Leaders: Expected September
£25
What is the secret of this kingdom where peace has reigned for millennia? Every spring, the pretenders to the throne each recruit 4 champions and compete in duels with unusual rules... No army to lead, no blood to shed: the first to capture his rival wins. Your time has come... Tactics, daring and strategy will distinguish the true Leaders!
Assemble a team of unique characters to defeat the opposing Leader! To do so, capture him by bringing 2 of your Characters alongside him, or maneuver skillfully so that he finds himself completely surrounded!
Wriggle Roulette: Expected September
£20
Wriggle Roulette is a tabletop game blending luck and strategy. Players take turns reaching into a bag filled with eel and snake-shaped wooden pieces, trying to pull out as many eels as possible. But beware—if the number of snakes grabbed by all players exceeds the limit, a "snake outbreak" occurs, and the player who grabbed the most pieces loses all of their eels. You want to grab more than everyone else to score big, but a snake outbreak would be devastating...
Will you grab a bunch? Just a few? Or back out entirely? Read your opponents' expressions and control your own greed to make the right call. It’s a unique push-your-luck game of risk and strategy.
Petiquette: Expected September
£20
"Petiquette" is a fresh, new kind of game played with cards with combinations of three animals, three hats, and five numbers. Players look at a lineup of five randomly placed cards and try to find some logic or pattern within them. Then they choose which card would most properly fit into that pattern. For example, if the sequence is “red, red, yellow...” you might feel that yellow should come next. If it’s “dog, cat, bird…” then maybe dog again feels right. But there’s no single correct answer. If someone else chooses the same card as you, you'll earn points.
The game includes both competitive and cooperative rules. In the cooperative rules, one player secretly chooses the card they think fits best, and everyone else tries to guess what they picked. “This person probably thinks this kind of pattern is right...” “But is that really what they’d pick?” “No, wait, it has to be this one.” Whether you’re playing with close friends or total strangers, you’ll likely discover unexpected perspectives and hidden sides of the people around you.
7 Wonders: Dice: Expected October

Defenders of the Wild: Expected December
£54.99
Area control meets fantasy adventure in this new cooperative board game game from T.L. Simons, creator of Bloc by Bloc, Henry Audubon, designer of PARKS, and illustrator Meg Lemieur. Play as one of four unique animal factions to clear pollution, fight mechs, breach walls, build camps, and rewild factories across a modular map that changes with each game.
Gazebo: Expected December
Price TBA
Fill the botanical gardens with fragrant flowers, lush foliage, and soothing waters as you erect your gazebos among the tranquil features and atop prized patios.
In Gazebo, players take turns placing premium dominos on the shared garden map to establish nooks — that is, two or more contiguous terrain spaces of the same type: flower, foliage, or water. When a player creates a nook, they place one of their gazebos on top of it, and by connecting their nook to a patio, they can claim the patio and place a gazebo on it.
But not all is peaceful in this game of garden landscaping. Larger nooks can absorb smaller nooks, and patios can be stolen by cunning rivals. The first player to place all of their gazebos on the board wins!
Gingham: Expected December
Price TBA
The race is on! Ants have found an abandoned picnic blanket ripe with sweets, but there aren't enough for every colony...
Gingham is a tricky game of confection connection. In this game, players position their queens around the gingham picnic blanket and deploy their ants to connect sweets and claim the stockpiles they create.
The lead player determines which edge of the playing area all players must play on each round. Everyone then places their queen next to a row on this edge, then deploys an ant into the row where they place their queen. The catch is that you cannot deploy your ant beyond the stitch in the blanket, and the rows closer to the star at the end of the row offer fewer options. That said, whoever places their queen closest to the star becomes the leader of the next round and places their queen next to a row on any other edge of the playing area; players take turns in order of the queens in the previous row. Do you opt for a better turn order position for next round or more flexibility for ant placement this round?
By connecting matching sweet tokens with a line of your ants and by surrounding and claiming stockpiles, players score points. Sweet tokens are stacked atop one another after connecting, with sugar cubes being left behind; place next to a sugar cube to claim it as they can be spent on powerful abilities. Stretch your ants across the blanket, and grab the biggest piles of sweets to prove your pint-sized royalty!
