As a lifelong player of tabletop games (starting with 40k's Third Edition), it's surreal and wonderful to see our game in one of the longest-running tabletop gaming websites online! Thanks Ben @wargamer.com for such a lovely writeup - please check it out below!

Look out Wingspan, a new birdy board game just launched on Kickstarter

Isle of Feathers has arrived on Kickstarter - a tile-laying puzzle board game where players compete to build their vision of an avian paradise.

@qualbert.com Glad you were able to incorporate the phrase 'sticky beak' hee hee. I tried to but wasn't as successful.

Huge thanks to @magpiebusiness.bsky.social for sending me a prototype version and trusting me to write a review, it was a huge honour.

When I get time, I should do a big recommendation thread of horror movies to watch in the run up to Halloween. For now though, may I suggest watching Lake Mungo? I always start off those threads saying how Noroi: The Curse is my favourite found footage horror, but Lake Mungo is a close second.
