The cover art depicts a figure in a billowing cloak stretching out their arms in front of a cartoony castle circled by dragons, with magical sparkles and large pencils extending in from outside the rest of the illustration.

An image with various illustrations pinned to a conspiracy-style corkboard: a blurry skeleton, fantasy adventurers around a tavern table with a map, a wild west sheriff sat in front of a jail cell and wanted poster. Red threaded connects a post-it reading "A CO-OP ROLEPLAYING GAME..." with a point leading out of frame.
The red thread continues into another image of corkboard, with a pinned illustration of professional thieves all in black during an art heist. A scrap of paper connected to the thread read: "WITH ONLY ONE WINNER!"
🤔 What is a co-op roleplaying game with only one winner?

A two-handed learning game of Ayar from @ospreygames.bsky.social @flopiano.bsky.social @mandelafg.bsky.social & @ianotoole.bsky.social in the books. First impressions are great, I want to play again right away and do better sun scoring! Touches of Merv, Sankoré and others all over it.

the box for Ayar
the player board with a multitude of components on it
the male and female Ayar tokens fit together perfectly
Ayar by @flopiano.bsky.social and @mandelafg.bsky.social from @ospreygames.bsky.social with art by @ianotoole.bsky.social is a real point salad. You can’t do everything and need to keep two score tracks in balance all at the same time. I’m quite enjoying it. 🙂👍 #boardgames

A photo of the designers of the board game Ayar, Mandela Fernández-Grandon and Fabio Lopiano, sat smiling behind a table holding a copy of the game, with a banner behind them with the game's cover art.
We were so happy to have Ayar designers @flopiano.bsky.social & @mandelafg.bsky.social on stand at SPIEL Essen for signings & demos!
The game was a sell-out success with packed tables all 4 days – we couldn't be prouder of the team 🔥🔥
