This will be the last update of 2022 and it has been an incredible year, with The Isle of Cats expansions releasing in the first half and Race to the Raft launching on Kickstarter towards the end. I was so glad I got to see many of you at shows again and I’m thankful for your continued support.

7 years ago, I was sitting in a room waiting for 3 people to turn up and play my brand-new board game. It was the first time I had ever playtested a physical game with people not involved in its development and I had no idea what to expect. These days my approach to playtesting is entirely different and I’d to share my 6 steps of testing.

Last month I discussed the quick digital demo that I had just released for Race to the Raft, with the idea of letting people get a taste of the game before having to make a purchase decision. It has now been live for a month, and I thought I would review the data so far.

Running a Kickstarter can be a thrill, between social media, emails, direct messages, and the Kickstarter page itself, it can be easy to get wrapped up in the buzz. Then suddenly it stops, the notifications die down and you return to the before times.

The holiday season is nearly here and I am looking forward to a multitude of festive celebrations in the weeks to come, the first of which will hopefully be the funding of the Race to the Raft Kickstarter. There are just 24 hours left and I couldn't be happier with how the campaign has gone, thank you for your support.
