I was Flatout all weekendโ€ฆ | GrahamS Games

The weekend ended up being a bit of a @flatoutgames.bsky.social fest. After Fridayโ€™s Fit to Print, Point Galaxy, Knitting Circle and Cascadia all got some time at my table. I find their #boardgames to consistently hit for me.

Here is your ULTIMATE guide to Cascadia? Where do you start? What is our favorite? Have you played them all?

Not only is this a fantastic game, the people behind the game, @flatoutgames.bsky.social , @rf-seattle.bsky.social, and @bethsobel.bsky.social are THE BEST.

The Flatout Games Colab has a lot of wonderful contributors and Joseph is such a joy to work with! Aside from being a huge inspiration when we were working on our first Kickstarter campaign, he has been part of a number of dev teams and we're super excited to be publishing Honeypot!

Just wrapped up #PAXUnplugged where we demoed 2 new 1-6 player games coming to Kickstarter soon! Forage is a tableau-building roll-and-write about foraging and Honeypot is an 'I stack, you choose' game about secret agent bears setting and avoiding traps. We are so excited for y'all to play them!

Panel 1: A character excitedly explains that Fit to Print has a 12-player "newsroom" real-time mode. Heinze reacts enthusiastically, saying, "Ohhh! I love that!"
Panel 2: Rachel is looking really concerned and says, "Why did you tell him that? Heinze is obsessed with unpractical games, now he's going to be thinking about this all week!" The person who shared the info responds, "It can't be that bad?"
Panel 3: At night, Heinze is wide awake in bed, taking notes. He says, "So if we already have 12 people overโ€ฆ we could also do the 12-player variant of Flamme Rouge... and if everyone brings a laptopโ€ฆ we could run two full starships in Artemis after lunch!" Rachel lies next to him, awake, looking exhausted. Starbuck is also still awake and playfully rolling on the bed end while Apollo is sleeping on Heinze's legs.

This is just a stand-alone game. It has some similar DNA to Cascadia, but is a completely new game. :) We'll share more soon!

We're super excited to announce Cascadia: Alpine Lakes! A brand new stand-alone follow-up to Cascadia! Using dual-hex tiles, Alpine Lakes takes that Cascadia puzzliness you know and love to new heights - layer tiles to create peaks and valleys and populate them with wildlife!
