Notes from the Trail

Welcome to the Southwest Board Games trail journal.

This is where we'll share updates from behind the scenes as our games take shape — from early design notes and playtesting reflections to creative detours, production milestones, and the little discoveries we make along the way.

You'll find a mix of progress updates, lessons learned, sneak peeks, and stories from the road as we build tabletop experiences full of mystery, adventure, and meaningful moments around the table.

Pull up a chair and follow along. The story is just getting started.
