What's Going On?

First off, we’re SUPER stoked that After the Empire made both Tom Vasel and Roy Cannaday’s Top 10 Games of 2021 lists at The Dice Tower, Ryan and Katie’s list over at Tantrum House, Shira’s list for Quackalope (with this passionate follow up!), BJ’s list for Board Game Gumbo, Grant’s list from Grant’s Game Recs, Billy Indiana’s list (#1!), and Karar2k’s list! Tom said “I just really like this game. It’s so much fun.” We’re less stoked about the shipping crisis and that our reprint hasn’t been able to get out to folks yet! We hope that happens soon, and look forward to hearing your feedback on the new solo mode! Also, just got a nice written review with photos from New In Shrink. Thanks!

Here’s a quick shot of us working on the expansion:

Evan has been working on the Great Meteora with Cris Kelly. 14th century Greek monks travel to stone spires rising from the plains of Thessaly to build monasteries. Euro-style worker placement, tableau building, and tile laying with a touch of area control and set collection.

Here’s a tableau building and blind bidding, simultaneous playing cardgame where players vye for support from druids to control the fabled magic that has returned to the Wildwood. Half the art from Beth Sobel is already done.

Evan’s also working on the board game implementation of EndZone: A World Apart through the publisher Spielworxx. We’re moving in to blind playtesting on that one!

The family is doing well, although sleep is tough to get with our little one sometimes. Hope you’re all surviving through this tough time!
