Over the past few weeks we’ve been working with an exotic talent from New Jersey, USA (that’s pretty exotic for us Londoners) who’s been breathing life into the beasts. Kyle McKernan is a fantastic animator, and we thought it’s time to show you some of his amazing work. The game looks so different with each […]

We have some news! We are changing the name of Fabulous Beasts to Beasts of Balance. You might already have been aware, but a couple of months back we found our attempt to register Fabulous Beasts as a trademark was blocked. To cut a long story short, we decided that the most important thing for […]

As our Kickstarter campaign comes to a close (at 10pm tonight!), we thought we’d go back and remember some of the things we saw and did and heard that made it extra special. Like that time Kylo Ren was a douchebag: We had some great things written about us. Here’s one of our favourites, by […]

Hey, Tim here. I’m responsible for the physical design of Fabulous Beasts. I’ve spent most of my time in the workshop since the Kickstarter launched making demo sets, lions with human faces and developing our production technique for the Handmade Edition, but I wanted to take time out to talk a little about the design […]

(This post isn’t an advert for the Fabulous Beasts Maker edition either; that will […]

We had a launch party last night! A bunch of people from our mailing list came along. They played the game a lot. It’s great to put the beasts in their natural habitat – that is, a few beers, a bit of time to chat and play and have fun, and a lot of time […]

So this is some very, very exciting news. We’re thrilled to announce that indie game luminary and all-round stellar composing talent Disasterpeace is going to be creating the soundtrack for our connected-tabletop-digital-stacking-game Fabulous Beasts. One of the things that really excites us about creating a game that bridges tabletop and digital is the potential for music […]

Here’s a very important question: how do we manufacture and ship Fabulous Beasts to (hopefully) thousands of people? It’s one we’ve been wrestling with all year. We don’t just want to ship, we want to ship on time. To you! For Christmas 2016… It turns out the first thing we had to do was think globally. Over […]
