Post a Review (Please)!
We had so many people wanting Haunted Inheritance and Float Your Boat that we are getting ready to mass produce both of these games through a printer in Hong Kong. In order to do this, we are submitting an application for a small business loan, but we need your help! Would you take a few minutes to review Haunted Inheritance on Board Game Geek?

Midwinter Adventures
Heather, David, and friends had an amazing time at the Midwinter Gaming Convention. We want to thank Anne, Joe, and all of the other Midwinter hosts for creating a great gaming experience for us all and getting us through a snowstorm and power outage! With only emergency lighting, body heat, and some creative but delicious food options, the gaming continued throughout the 19-or-so-hour power outage. (The vampires and vampire hunters in the room across the hall didn’t even need lights to keep their gaming going!)
We especially enjoyed the opportunity to meet other game designers, including:
- Jimmy Sanders, designer of Dualing Dice and owner of a game store in Illinois.
- Josh McBride, missionary game designer who dedicates all of the proceeds from his games to educating the poor in Nicaragua. His Grumblestone game is coming to Kickstarter soon!
Heather and David also got to host a Haunted Inheritance tournament in place of James, who couldn’t make it. It was so much fun cheering Jennifer, D, and Anna on to victory!
We had so many people wanting to purchase Haunted Inheritance that we are getting a special indy developer vendor booth at next year’s Midwinter convention!
Luck: Legends of Ireland Updates
We got some great feedback from the people who sat down and tried their luck with David at the Midwinter Protospiel event and with Heather in the main game hall. With a few more tweaks, we think Luck: Legends of Ireland is well on its way to becoming our next released board game.
Thank you so much to everyone who tried out the game and offered their suggestions on what to keep and what change to try. We had a great time exploring Irish legends with you, swapping stories about your travels, and hearing your two Facts and a Fib!
Expansions in the Works
You can’t keep a designer from designing! Even though he is hard at work getting the funding and printing lined up for Haunted Inheritance and Float Your Boat, David is working on one, maybe two, expansions to Haunted Inheritance!
If you love Haunted Inheritance so much you want even more, there are some exciting developments in the works! Stay tuned for more details in future editions of our newsletter!
Shout outs!
