A close-up photo of the board of a set-up game of Ayar: Children of the Sun. The board is illustrated with a map with various paths across it, and various different coloured wooden pieces are placed round it. In focus are meeples of robed figures with crowns and details picked out in gold.

Another close-up showing a different area of the board where two of the meeples have been placed together, fitting perfectly as if clasping hands.

Here's your first peek at the beautiful meeples from our hot new eurogame Ayar!

In the game you'll be playing as the first clans of the Inca following in the Ayar's footsteps & influencing their journeys...

I'll be in the Unpub area at 8 today and probably tomorrow as well.

I didn't book a table at Unpub (already sold out when I checked).
I will go and check some prototypes and maybe try to get a table for the after hours.

This week-end I will be in Philadelphia for PaxU
is anyone interested in playing one of my prototypes ?

Happy to playtest other designers games as well.
Let me know and maybe we can organize a game or two.
