New Game & Community Yarn Bomb
almost 2 years ago – Fri, Jun 10, 2022 at 06:22:57 AM

Hello Crafters!   


I know it’s been awhile but we’ve got some exciting news to share with you all. 1) We have a new game AND 2) we're calling all crafters for a community yarn bombing project! 


1) BIGFOOT: Roll & Smash is our new licensed board game partnered with BIGFOOT®, the original monster truck. It’s a press your luck, programming game where you roll monster tire dice to give you plan points, hazards, and style cards. Then you plan your run with movement tiles. Finally you smash obstacles in a modular mud arena to earn points. Driver with the most points, wins! It’s available now to pre-order at a limited pre-order price of $29.99. 

If you're at Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Ohio, we'll be there this weekend at booth #844 for demos of the new game!

2) Community Yarn Bomb - Remember when we yarn bombed Gen Con last year? Got extra yarn in your stash? Last year, we had our friends at Mass Ave Knit Shop (MAKS) yarn bomb the Indy convention flower planters with ROYGBIV stripes. This year in partnership with MAKS and of course with the approval of Gen Con and the Indy Convention Center, we'll be doing a community yarn bomb for the flower pots one brick of yarn at a time from you! 

If you want to participate in the community yarn bomb, here's how! 

  • Knit (garter) or crochet (single) a 4 inch by 9 inch brick in your favorite color using worsted yarn. Please leave 5 inches of yarn on each side so the brick can be sewed together.
  • Mail your brick(s) to Susan Brennan 2653 S Ritter Indianapolis, IN 46203 by July 1st! 
  • In your package make sure to include your city & state. Each brick will be a tagged sharing the city & state where it arrived from. 

Here are examples of completed bricks. 

4"x9" bricks with its city & state.

Please share with your crafting circle and friends. The more bricks we have, the merrier! If you have any questions, please reach out [email protected].


Let's get crafty! (For real this time!)

Titania Ascending is Live Now on Kickstarter!
over 2 years ago – Tue, Nov 09, 2021 at 06:06:55 AM

Hey Crafters! 


We know it's been awhile but we do have an exciting Kickstarter project we'd like for you all to know about. Titania Ascending is the first cooperative, two part, flip and write game. 

Titania, Queen of the Fae, has grown tired of humanity’s disdain for nature’s splendor. She plans to liberate Gaia, and has summoned you, her High Council of Sorcerers, to manifest her will. by coordinating and dispatching her Fae followers through portals to Earth.  Use clever planning and guile to meet Titania’s complex demands, and win! Or, test your efficiency in the competitive, Solo/ All v. All modes.

Will you divine the path to victory? Gather your golems! Summon your sirens! The Earth trembles before… Titania Ascending.

The map you create in the first round becomes the puzzle you solve in the second.  Each player makes their own choices, but success for the group hinges on how well they can work together. Designed, developed, & tested remotely; Titania Ascending is perfect for In-Person and Remote Play.


As a small publisher we can't thank you enough for making ArchRavels a reality. Titania Ascending is a beautiful game with a lot of innovative and intentional game design that we think you'll appreciate. 


Keep Crafting,

Hey Crafters!

1) we think crafters would love 

2) is a great value!

They are easy to learn, quick to play, and come in the nifty plastic Quarks case - engineered by GameTrayz- to keep those bits & chits safe.

XYZ Quarks: Season 1 has players sneaking around the zoo, cultivating a garden, and pulling off a heist! Get these pocket-sized bluffing, strategy, & social games, all for $30.

Also fun fact: Rochelle Steder, the artist who brought to life ArchRavels is BACK in Quarks #2: Cultivate! 

Again, we cannot thank you enough for your support of ArchRavels, which we could not have made without you. We hope we can bring more games to world and introduce more hobby by making games  that are easy to learn, fun family-friendly themed, portable, and affordable.
