Tom: AaaAA! CHAOS MONTH!
I’ve been internally referring to August as ‘Big Month’ for the past few weeks but the more time I spend sort-of-planning-it-out the more I realise a better way to describe it might be ‘CHAOS MONTH’.
We’ve got some videos planned! What are they, and when are they coming out? Science bears no answers.
Podcasts? Oh yeah, we’ve got a few, and they’ll be near your ears… soon? Yeah, probably! Help.
Please bear with us, for August is the month that we’re actually launching the studio stuff to donors at the same time as both Matt and Quinns taking time off. I’m truly laying the train track whilst it runs, Gromit-Style. Wish me luck!
CHAOS MONTH!

We’re talking about two* cracking* games from Reiner Knizia – Zoo Vadis and My Island, as well as the latest tiny-box game from Devir; Bamboo! Rarely does my cold and mechanical editors heart chuckle whilst chopping pods, but I made myself laugh with this one. I think it’s good fun*. Enjoy! *(with caveats) Have a great weekend, everybody!
