This pledge level includes our first design, Overgrowth - The Board Game, which is a stunningly handcrafted wooden game for two players.

Each wooden board is lovingly handmade by ourselves in our workshop, using Sapele wood, which has a beautiful way of reflecting light.  This means that every single board is unique.  A stunning game to leave out on the coffee table and a great conversation starter.

In Overgrowth, players master the art of strategy as they compete to create a clear path of their flowers, from one side of the board to their opponent’s, or gather the most blossoms in the meadow by the game's end. With each move, every decision counts - will you outwit your opponent & claim victory?

At the start of their turn, players move their action selection marker around the board. This is in a clockwise direction, up to 3 spaces - selecting one of the 3 available actions from the 4 on the rondel.

Players will be able to either:

  • Grow - adding a flower token adjacent to one already placed.
  • Cast - throwing a flower token 3 spaces away from one already placed.
  • Spread - placing up to 2 flower tokens horizontally across the board, adjacent to one already placed.
  • Overgrow - if surrounding your opponent's flower token on two sides like a right angle, you may replace it with one of your own.

ONLY 20 AVAILABLE - DON'T MISS OUT          £35.00


This pledge level includes our first card game design Forest Folk - Can you manipulate the forest to fulfil your pilgrims wishes in just 9 cards?

Featuring beautiful illustrations by Kathryn Davies Art and a small box size, which makes Forest Folk great for travelling, meals out and saving precious shelf space. 

Take on the role of a Forest Folk, carefully crafting the perfect woodland, alongside the ideal copse, to inspire those seeking enlightenment. Use the powers that surround you to shape & manipulate the forest. Guide your pilgrims to the safe sanctuary of your copse. The player who most closely represents the wishes of their pilgrims will become the master of the forest.

During each turn of Forest Folk, you will be playing cards to two separate locations.

The Forest - this area is shared by all players & can be manipulated by all players. At the end of the game, you will score your pilgrim cards based on the nature of the forest.

The Copse - This is each player's personal area. Only you will be able to play cards to & manipulate your Copse. At the end of the game, you will have exactly 5 cards in your Copse. You will score double points from your pilgrim cards in your Copse area.

There are 8 powers, which can be accessed in the game; Destruction, Exchange, Explore, Move, Offering, Tangle, The Risk, & Transform.  We think that you will agree that Kate has brought the Forest Folk to life perfectly.

ONLY 10 AVAILABLE - DON'T MISS OUT          £22.00



This pledge level includes Pete's Plaice - Avoid greedy seagulls & race to fill plates in Pete's Plaice

At Pete’s Plaice, hungry diners wait to served a selection of seaside favourites. Beware of the greedy seagulls though. They will swoop down to try to steal the food off your diner’s plates, unless you can stop them. Use power cards to ward off the seagulls on to other player's or else feed the pesky birds.

On your turn you will have a choice of serving a meal to a diner, play an action card, or draw from the deck. By the end of the game, you will score points for each meal served depending on the number of items in that meal. Larger meals score larger points, but also means that opponents will send seagulls & crabs your way to steal food (points) away from you.

Do you have what it takes to out serve your opponents & deliver the most meals at the Pete’s Plaice restaurant?

All art in Pete's Plaice began as an original paper collage by Kathryn Davies Art. 

ONLY 15 AVAILABLE - DON'T MISS OUT          £22.00


This pledge level includes a stunning, limited edition Forest Folk themed enamel pin badge.

This stunning limited edition Forest Folk themed enamel pin badge measures 2.8 cm by 2.8 cm, and arrives in a gift bag. 

The design is based on the card back from the exciting Forest Folk card game, which was illustrated by Kathryn Davies Art.   

ONLY 20 AVAILABLE - DON'T MISS OUT          £12.50

Reviews & Feedback For Games

 

 



"Bought this at UKGE and it's a wonderful little game beautifully made, elegant rules, pretty to behold.  A quick game, nice to leave out on a coffee table." Harry from Lymington





"Fun game with surprisingly tactical decisions to be made!" Kevin, UK


"Nice little two player game with the rondel for player actions.  Played in about 15 mins. Found at UKGE" Jacob, UK









"Had the chance to play - for such a small game there are many things to consider in a turn. Do you play a card for its power, do you focus on the forest or the copse and what could the others players be trying to do on their secret objectives? Plays quickly and artwork is beautiful." Adidas Sliders, UK




"Cool game, fantastic artwork, easy to learn. Portable." - Blue Fox, Scotland
