This quick tutorial is all you need to learn how to play Pyrotechnics on Board Game Arena. And... y'know... it does a fine job of explaining the analog game as well.

A new (and lengthy) journal entry that peeks back on the past and outlines ideas for the future. What will 2026 hold for The Seahorse & The Hummingbird? I dunno. But I have a whole layout of plans ready to fall apart.

What's the Plan? - The Seahorse and The Hummingbird

The Seahorse & The Hummingbird has committed to donating 2% of every sale to good causes. In 2025 that amounted to $32. That's not a staggering amount, but it is appropriately modest for a fledgling company and I'm proud of every penny.

"Pyrotechnics isolates and embodies the part of euro games where one is carefully eyeing an opponent’s resources to figure out how to outmaneuver them."

Back from the holidays with a review of Pyrotechnics from @thinkdeepplaylight.bsky.social. A subtle and strategic fireworks-y game about efficiently trading in colors for more colors before your opponent can do the same.
