area control + deckbuilder = Fortressfall ❤️


The homepage of our website has 2 new games since our last newsletter.

They are both on the horizon... can you spot them?

But first, in case you missed it:

  • Earlier this summer, we announced Exceed: Skytear, the arcade fighting card game for 1 to 2 players.
  • Dicequest, our lighthearted dice pool builder, is sailing the oceans to be delivered early this fall.
  • Onward Twisted, the solo expansion to our MOBA board game, is also sailing the oceans...together with a restock of the base game and expansions... to be delivered on schedule later this fall.
  • We are looking for a freelance to help us with operations, support, and a bit of admin too.
  • Skytear Horde, our solo castle defense card battler is going out of stock. Unfortunately, we are not planning a reprint. But this will be the topic for another newsletter because right now we have to stay focused on...
    Introducing
    Fortressfall 🎊

Fortressfall is a deckbuilder (i.e. you build your deck as you play) with some *really* strong elements of area control.

For 1 to 4 players.

40 to 60 minutes.

And to be precise... it's a heroic deckbuilder.
Because, of course, the deck you build has an asymmetric head start with signature cards from the hero you control.

But your hero alone won't be enough.

Your deck is your army. Recruit allies, flood the map with dozens of (cute) minion meeples, and hold the fortresses when the clash comes.

Follow the campaign on Gamefound for a free promo deck.

Or keep scrolling to learn more and see some visuals.

Either way, thanks for following us.

Stay tuned for more games and announcements... as we're picking up steam.
Choof! Choof!

Still here?

Check out this photo from the playtest session we were running the other day. We are quite proud of the 3D terrain that fits into the box... some great table presence if you ignore the paper prototype board :)

Dear gamer, Skytear is becoming Season 8 of Exceed... on Gamefound soon! I’ve wanted to write this newsletter for a while but we've been too busy wrapping up our 2 recents projects: Dicequest and Onward: Twisted (late pledges for Twisted are still open btw). The Exceed Skytear season was announced about 1 month ago elsewhere... and since then a couple of Gamefound comments already captured the mood we're aiming for: “Oh god, my two obsessions are combining? This is the best” Or even: “THE...

Hello, buongiorno, bonjour! Here me, here me people! We have entered the final 24 hours of the campaign for Onward: Twisted. We’ve just crossed the 2000 backer mark, a number that means a great deal to a team of our size. It represents 2000 people who trust our design choices and the world we are building in Olan Taa. The Practical Side: Pricing As we approach the end, I want to be clear about the logistics. This is the final window to secure the favored pricing for the game. Depending on...
