March 2025 – Monthly Update
March is drawing to a close, and we’re excited to share some important news! We’ve made an extra push to get our two upcoming games to your tables sooner. Read the full report below for all the details.
1. PRE-LAUNCH (IWO JIMA and SEA & STEEL)
Great news! Sea & Steel and Iwo Jima are confirmed for production. However, the initial print run is very limited. As a new independent publisher, this investment reflects our current production capacity and is not intended to create artificial scarcity.
Why Pre-Order?
- Secure Your Copy: Reprints are not guaranteed.
- Early Access: Get your game first.
- Savings: Access exclusive deals.
You’ll find more information on our pre-launch and Incoming! (P-300) pages.
2. IWO JIMA: HELL ON EARTH
The final playtesting wave is wrapping up. The rules writers will soon begin the final rulebook revision, which we will share with you as soon as it’s available.
Our graphic designers are completing the artwork. The work-in-progress counters shown above are a preview. We expect to produce the printer sample shortly. Once available, we will create a video explaining how the game works to help you learn how to play. We will post these videos as soon as possible.
In the meantime, you can read Michal’s interview with game designer Jose Manuel Neva about the game on the Boardgame Chronicles blog: Read it here.
By the way, Michal recently published a Teach & Play video about our Iwo Jima: Lite Edition (PnP) on his YouTube channel, a simplified version of our upcoming title Iwo Jima: Hell on Earth. You can download the PnP game for free from our website: Get Iwo Jima: Lite Edition for free.
3. SEA & STEEL: COLUMBUS’ VOYAGES
We’ve requested the printer sample and anticipate its arrival very soon! We’re thrilled to get our hands on it and will create comprehensive video content to showcase every detail for you. The rulebook revisions are in their final stages. We’ll share the polished document with you as soon as the graphic designer completes the formatting.
In the meantime, you can read Grant’s interview with game designer Antonio Vaquera about the game on the The Players’ Aid blog: Read it here.
