In which we (well, more accurately, I) talk about being anxious, and ask you to check out (and share!) the game on Screentop. Hello!

In which we recap the exciting things which have happened over the summer, talk about our new tile direction, and apologise for the slipped timescale. Hello everyone!

In which we talk about the board (oh my goodness, the board!) and about preparing for Games Expo. Hello everyone! It’s still hot hot hot here, and I’m melting.

In which we talk about recent changes and future plans. And about bookmarks. Hello everyone! I hope you all have an ice cream as you settle down for this latest newsletter.
