Atikin Games

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.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm glad you and Chloris made a good team 😁😈🌹

Thank you, that's wonderful 😊❤️

Yay! 😁 I'm nervous being in hall 4 but it's a lot bigger this year so hopefully just as busy 🤞

...standing all day (like I do 😅). Most importantly it helped me to realise this setup is not wheelchair accessible, so I will go with a standard sitting demo table for UKGE. I look forward to seeing some of you there, I'll be in hall 4 this year.

Malus Hortus had its debut convention and received a lot of love, I feel like I spent half the weekend blushing 😊. It was a good trial run for UKGE, I had a standing demo setup running mini demos, which worked nicely but meant that my demo team (Darren) were more exhausted from...

Me and my stand at Paradice

@paradice.uk last weekend was absolutely wonderful! Thank you to everyone who came by and to all the other exhibitors for being truly magnificent to be around. Most of all thank you so much to the Paradice team, the event is growing beautifully, I can't wait to see what next year will bring.

So awesome ❤️

Awww I wish I'd started in 2002, imagine what 13 year old me would come up with ☺️ the roll and writes have all been in recent years though right? And how many FF expansions are there now? 😍

Wowza I didn't realise there were so many now 👏🙌

Oooo very nice 🥰😍

Hehe yes, I did my best to make sure it looks good no matter how it's shelved, the other side has the day version of the foxglove and if it's laid down flat it just has the Malus Hortus text ☺️

I've mostly been prepping for Paradice this weekend since fulfilling Malus Hortus last week. I've taken a new favourite photo though ☺️

Malus Hortus is coming to @paradiceuk.bsky.social in Worthing this weekend! 🤯🎉🎊🥳 I'm so excited, it'll be the first time I have Malus Hortus with me to sell ☺️ please come by and say hi!

I think this is the first time I ever backed a #boardgame based on box art and title alone! Malus Hortus from @atikingames.bsky.social is here and I can’t wait to get stuck in! I’m sure my thoughts will be on the blog real soon 😍

I hope it lives up to expectations 😊🤞

Haha yes! I'm more worried about how long the ones in storage will be there eating up storage fees 😅

Absolutely. On arrival day we filled my storage unit, the kitchen and the dining room with boxes and I've nearly emptied all the dining room boxes now 😊

What do you mean it's wednesday already?! 🤣 My week has been lots of boxes, towers of boxes with Malus Hortus being collected from my house every day. I hope to have them all boxed up by the end of tomorrow and give myself a long weekend to recover 😊🤞

Happy Valentine's Day. I thought I'd share a photo of me with my one true love now that it's here 😊❤️. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen, I love you all!

(Actually spending the day with my wonderful husband of course, and got his permission to call Malus Hortus my one true love 🤣).

Roughly 250 games on a pallet. 169 boxes of 6 games in total.

I can't wait to get it to you 😊❤️

Hehe I cannot wait to be sending it your way ❤️

Hehe thank you so much 😊

Malus Hortus is here 🥳 these are two of my four pallets of games, orders start going out on Monday! This morning I carried a total of 1.9 tonnes of boxes, I'm really quite proud but I don't know if I'll be able to use my arms tomorrow 🤣

My #BoardGamersLift news is: Malus Hortus is nearly here, so I'm getting everything prepped!

Also the adorable Elemental Sprite Plushies have 55 hours left on BackerKit, there's still time to grab a handful of cute and help fund Elemental Island review copies 😊
