Time to restock my gorgeous plushie dice. Most of the last batch have sold and it's taken me a while to get around to it but they're coming together 😊

Another Captain post, so soon? Well of course as he's decided to help play test the Malus Hortus expansion, and generally testing the durability of the base game 😅 I'm happy to say it has so far stood up to cat attacks.

I've been struggling to get back in the routine of posting. So let's call this #mascotmonday as Captain takes "if it fits, I sits" to a whole new level

It's the new necklaces that came with me to UKGE, I really enjoyed making them and can't wait to make more/take photos so I can actually sell them online 😅

Always important at UKGE is my yearly photo with Adam, my favourite ghost buster/Captain America 😁

I'm finally past my UKGE burnout and want to share all my favourite photos from the weekend with you. I'm going in chronological order and trying to use it to get back in the swing of posting regularly 😅. Starting with the rainbow dice and chains necklace! 1/2 #dicegoblin #ukgamesexpo

If you're at UKGE today come say hi at the CobblePath stand! 3-558~ Inexplicably the same place as last year!

Who's ready for another awesome day at UKGE? If you have the time please come see me at stand 4-337! Malus Hortus is awaiting your arrival. #boardgames #ukge #ukgamesexpo

Malus Hortus is set up at UKGE and ready for some attention. Come and have yourself a daring adventure at stand 4-337 #ukgamesexpo #boardgames #UKGE #ukge2026 #ukgamesexpo2026

Atikin Games will be exhibiting at UKGE for my 5th year running and my flagship game, Malus Hortus, will be on sale for the first time this year. If you haven't seen Malus Hortus before it is a 1-4 player cooperative game about an evil garden that lures you in with its beauty by day... 1/5

Malus Hortus is coming to UKGE! Who else is excited? I'm super excited! For those who don't know the Malus Hortus prototype has been at UKGE many times for play testing and demos but this time I have production copies to bring and sell 🤞... 1/2

With UKGE on the horizon it's massive restock time. I started with Board Game Survival Kits, just finished mint tin games and next I'm alternating between accessories that have sold well in the past and new products I've wanted to make for a while 😊... 1/2

I did a holiday! 🥰 This was my only game related photograph from it so it thought I should show you all. I won Marina Bay Sands roll to the top with Marina Bay Sands in view 😍. 1/2

I haven't played Catan in soooo long. It was very nice to get a game to the table, 2 victory points away from the win but beaten by my buddy, well deserved. #boardgames

Yesterday's makes. Another thing I've wanted to do for ages and I finally made time. Meeple and mini dice hair accessories 😊

Just played my first game of Malus Hortus by @atikingames.bsky.social and, if I played it right, I’m pretty delighted by it! I played Chloris, because I always play purple (iykyk 🤣) and managed to escape the garden with a little bit of health intact, earning Epilogue 4. Hope to have photos later.

@paradice.uk last weekend was absolutely wonderful! Thank you to everyone who came by and to all the other exhibitors for being truly magnificent to be around. Most of all thank you so much to the Paradice team, the event is growing beautifully, I can't wait to see what next year will bring. 1/3

Malus Hortus is coming to @paradiceuk.bsky.social in Worthing this weekend! 🤯🎉🎊🥳 I'm so excited, it'll be the first time I have Malus Hortus with me to sell ☺️ please come by and say hi!

I think this is the first time I ever backed a #boardgame based on box art and title alone! Malus Hortus from @atikingames.bsky.social is here and I can’t wait to get stuck in! I’m sure my thoughts will be on the blog real soon 😍

Happy Valentine's Day. I thought I'd share a photo of me with my one true love now that it's here 😊❤️. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen, I love you all! (Actually spending the day with my wonderful husband of course, and got his permission to call Malus Hortus my one true love 🤣).

Malus Hortus is here 🥳 these are two of my four pallets of games, orders start going out on Monday! This morning I carried a total of 1.9 tonnes of boxes, I'm really quite proud but I don't know if I'll be able to use my arms tomorrow 🤣
