Indie board games studio out of Seattle, WA. Makers of Far Away, Hair of the Dog, Conspire, Catalyst, and Drink!
Always love seeing dogs playing Hair of the Dog. Remember not to actually eat the treat tokens.
I LOVE Hair of the Dog by @cherrypickedgames.bsky.social. We demo'd it at Spiel and HAD to have it. Completely adorable. Pet dogs, toast your friends, and shame if you have an empty beverage! Looking forward to playing again. 🐶🍻

"There is no game like Far Away. [...] The creatures are so alive due to the combination of what the designer provided plus what the players bring to the table."

Thanks @opinionatedgamers.com for surviving Far Away long enough to write this glowing review.

Finally, our most recent game, Hair of the Dog. Put the pet in competition as you run around a bar trying to pet the most dogs. It features so many real dogs, in addition to a few cats and a chameleon.

Far Away is our best selling title. It's a two-player cooperative game about exploring alien worlds. It features an ecosystem driven by some light roleplaying, leading to unique, emergent wildlife. Possibly the most love-or-hate mechanic out there.
