Probably not, but we got restock orders from German retailers recently, so we'd be a little surprised if some folks weren't stocking up for the show.

We do have some available online, though we are starting to run low: www.allplay.com/board-games/...

May every creative professional (or heck, every person) someday get the opportunity to receive such direct validation.

In some ways, Deepvale, the expansion to Leviathan Wilds, is rather workmanlike, adding one character, one class, and a handful of leviathans. But those leviathans reveal a designer who understands fully the appeal of his game. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/10/08/l...

Once More Unto the Leviathan

Any opportunity to get back into Leviathan Wilds is a good thing. That’s another way of saying you already know my impressions of Deepvale. As expansions go, nothing major has changed. There&…

I think it's the most clever and well-constructed experiential adventure game that I've played. It seems to know exactly what it's trying to be and commits to it pretty darn hard.

(I also think it's quite fun, and the pacing is so smooth and breezy.)

I can't heap enough praise on Leviathan Wilds by @mooncrabgames.bsky.social. It's such a simple loop, but every turn feels agonizing yet somehow makes me feel like I'm making smart decisions. It's as close to perfect as a game can get. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/35...

Leviathan Wilds is back with a fresh print run and expansion. I take a look at the new content and also re-assess the base game, which I first reviewed just over a year ago. Leviathan Wilds Deepvale: playerelimination.com/2025/07/29/i...

Into the Well – A Leviathan Wilds: Deepvale Review

Deepvale is the hotly anticipated expansion to one of my favorite titles of 2024. Justin Keppainen’s Leviathan Wilds is an impressive indie cut that captures much of the excitement in boulder…

We don't normally cross-post our updates here (for some reason?), but since it's very much in keeping with "current events," here is an insight into the effect of tariffs on Moon Crab.

Yeah, we'll talk about tariffs.
