A selection of 4 of my games was recently crowdfunded in China. These Chinese versions are all boxed and include extra or upgraded components, such as drawstring bags and wooden octopus scoring tokens.
Google translates the titles as "Solo Snooker", "Otto the little octopus", "Blooming Garden" and "Breakfast is Crazy"🙂.

My print & play game Jellybeanstalk was picked up last year by the publisher Quick Simple Fun Games and they have been busy developing the game. It also has a new theme and is now called Squirrelin' Around.
It's still has the same dexterity mechanic but now also includes a set collection element. As you build the Magic Acorn tree higher, you position yourself to collect acorns. Can you prepare for winter better than the other squirrels?
The game will go live on Kickstarter on June 25th.
UPDATE: Successfully funded!

Raging Bulls recently appeared as a 'giveaway' in issue no.8 of the Italian games magazine ioGioco.
The issue was a roll and write special:(translation courtesy of Google Translate 🙂 )
"Given the high interest in this category, we have dedicated a special that traces its history and tells us about the many exponents, more or less famous, that can boast.
In addition, to make you try the best thing about the experience of a Roll & Write, we decided to publish one! According to its author, Mark Tuck, you will find on the pages of ioGioco Raging Bulls, an excellent Roll & Write to photocopy and play immediately.
What are you waiting for? Arm yourself with dice and pencils and let us know how many points you got with Raging Bulls!"
I think that a magazine is an ideal format for a one- pager print and play game.
