Enlighten the neighbouring villages by training students in the seven disciplines and having them march over the Bridges... of Shangri-La. This classic Colovini game from 2003 is getting a spiffy new version from @playforkeepsgames.bsky.social, appearing on KS soon. #boardgames youtu.be/7DJY2AOsUoQ

Why Kickstart Bridges of Shangri-La? Sometimes publishing a game is calculated. You look at the market, you see a gap, and a compelling product. Sometimes a game is so good you don’t think. You shrug, and say ‘we are doing this, and figure the rest out later'. Bridges of Shangri-La was the latter

Why are we kickstarting a new edition of Mexica? With the amount of time we spend these days tethered to the internet, games were you play with big, chunky, tactile wooden pieces are even more fun in 2026 than they were in 2002. And Mexica was already great in 2002!

Ahead our our upcoming Kickstarter, this is the first in our series of 'why we published this game' posts. Gheos is a rebellion against tabletop publishing trends. It gets better with repeated plays. It is tactical, and deeply interactive. It is a huge game in a small box with a short playtime.

SU&SD recommends My Favourite Things - "For my money the best game on this list" Lets-a-go! Might be a good time to grab a copy from our website as we've only got a few hundred left and no reprint on the way because of orange man.
