The Kraken Games
The Kraken Games story by Geoff Bottone As she descended the wooden steps into the first floor room, Samantha heard the sounds of early morning activity rattling in the air around her. She recognized the staccato slapping of Micah’s swift and shoeless feet as he set up chairs and tables and broached the first of the Games’ many celebratory kegs. Above her, the ‘Dog’s roof creaked and strained under Schmitty’s weight. Though she always anticipated, and feared, the awful sound of Schmitty toppling onto the boardwalk outside, the old salt kept his balance. “Ahoy!” Schmitty hollered from atop the roof.

Dungeon Decorators Gets the Father Geek Seal of Approval!
Dungeon Decorators Gets the Father Geek Seal of Approval! We are super stoked to announce that Father Geek has reviewed our upcoming release, Dungeon Decorators, and has given it the Father Geek Seal of Approval! This means that the game was enjoyed by all three of their target groups: Child Geeks, Parent Geeks and Gamer Geeks. One of the things that really drew us to the Dungeon Decorators design in the first place was the way that it appeals to casual gamers while also having enough “strategic meat” to appeal to the more hardcore crowd. So, we’re happy that such
