We're Officially on the Trail!

July 8, 2026

Welcome to Southwest Board Games - we’re so glad you’re here.

Our website is officially up and running, which feels like a small but meaningful first step on a much bigger journey. This will be the home base for our games, updates, design notes, playtesting news, and behind-the-scenes looks at what we’re building.

And yes, we’re already hard at work.

Our first major project is Whispers in the Hollow, a cooperative tabletop adventure full of mystery, danger, strange happenings, and story-driven choices. The team is currently working toward the very first beta version of the game, where we’ll begin testing the core systems, campaign structure, characters, secrets, encounters, and all the little moments that make a game feel alive at the table.

There’s still a long trail ahead, but this is where it begins.

We’ll be using Notes from the Trail to share progress along the way; what we’re working on, what we’re learning, what’s changing, and what we’re excited to show you next.

Thanks for being here at the beginning.
