🚀 April 2025 – Development Update

Big things are happening across our board game lineup! Here’s your exclusive inside look at the latest progress:


🐴 Equestrian – Horse Show
Playtesting is galloping ahead, and we’ve made some exciting updates:

Rulebook – We’ve added a key new rule: once a player collects ten “SUCCESS” cards, the “Fall of the Horse” card is introduced to rebalance gameplay. This change helps keep the tension high and strategies sharp!
Art Direction – We’ve officially begun the search for the perfect artist to bring the equestrian world to life.
🔜 Next Step – Blind playtesting resumes on May 5th.

Thanks to your invaluable feedback, Equestrian is getting stronger with every turn!


🏙️ Steam Cities
Our steampunk strategy epic is taking shape with some major refinements:

⚙️ Ministers V2 – We’ve reworked the Minister deck from 72 cards (including duplicates) down to 24 unique cards, each with distinct, carefully balanced benefits. This change boosts player interaction and makes the Year 2 election phase more competitive and dynamic.
⚙️ Art Direction – The search is on for a talented artist to match the grandeur of Steam Cities.
🔜 Next Step – Blind playtesting resumes on May 5th.

We’re fine-tuning every cog and gear to make Steam Cities an unforgettable experience!


🚗 Car Collection
The engines are revving, but there’s still some tuning to do. Here’s where we’re at:

🏁 Rulebook – A full rewrite is underway to reflect the overhauled mechanics after a major revamp.
🏁 Playtesting – Currently in early in-house testing as we take the new systems for a spin.

We’re excited to see how the new design handles on the track!


We’re committed to creating fun, balanced, and immersive games—and your continued support makes it all possible. Thank you for being part of this journey!
