Atikin Games will be exhibiting at UKGE for my 5th year running and my flagship game, Malus Hortus, will be on sale for the first time this year. If you haven't seen Malus Hortus before it is a 1-4 player cooperative game about an evil garden that lures you in with its beauty by day... 1/5

Malus Hortus is coming to UKGE! Who else is excited? I'm super excited! For those who don't know the Malus Hortus prototype has been at UKGE many times for play testing and demos but this time I have production copies to bring and sell 🤞... 1/2

With UKGE on the horizon it's massive restock time. I started with Board Game Survival Kits, just finished mint tin games and next I'm alternating between accessories that have sold well in the past and new products I've wanted to make for a while 😊... 1/2

I did a holiday! 🥰 This was my only game related photograph from it so it thought I should show you all. I won Marina Bay Sands roll to the top with Marina Bay Sands in view 😍. 1/2

I haven't played Catan in soooo long. It was very nice to get a game to the table, 2 victory points away from the win but beaten by my buddy, well deserved. #boardgames

Yesterday's makes. Another thing I've wanted to do for ages and I finally made time. Meeple and mini dice hair accessories 😊

Just played my first game of Malus Hortus by @atikingames.bsky.social and, if I played it right, I’m pretty delighted by it! I played Chloris, because I always play purple (iykyk 🤣) and managed to escape the garden with a little bit of health intact, earning Epilogue 4. Hope to have photos later.
