This trumpet is a new addition to the world of Mantis Falls. Its action card, entitled “Song”, grants player protection if they give up vulnerable allies. . It’s been a pleasure to have the Mantis Falls soundtrack to listen to while doing the art this time around, but particularly for this illustration 🎺 . A few frequently asked questions about The Woods of Mantis Falls: . Q: Will it be possible to play test? A: We will be recruiting playtesters in waves from our mailing list, discord, FB page, and subreddit. Hop into one of those if you’re interested! . Q: Will the art be available for purchase? A: Yes, we will be including pledge tiers in the KS for the art and there should be about 200 pieces available! . Q: When will Mantis Falls launch on Kickstarter? A: We don’t have a date set yet, but we will announce it here when we do! . #Mantisfalls #hiddentraitor #socialdeduction #indiegames #noir #boardgamegeek #bgg #games #gamenight #cardgames #tabletopgame #gaming #mafia #mob #kickstarter

What are you favorite action cards in Mantis Falls? We are hard at work on the sequel, playtesting alterations almost every night and starting on the visual design (watercolors). Some things (like the Medicine) will likely carry over from the original. But most cards and effects will be brand new. Is there anything you’re hoping will make the cut? Or anything new you’d like to see? . . #Mantisfalls #hiddentraitor #socialdeduction #indiegames #kickstartergames #tabletopgames #noir #boardgamegeek #bgg #paintings #games #art #boardgamesofinstagram #gamenight #boardgaming #boardgamereview #tabletopgaming #game #watercolor #chapelhill #cardgames #boardgamenight #tabletopgame #gaming #mafia #mob #kickstarter #kickstartercampaign

The time has come for me to return to Mantis Falls. These watercolors in progress are a little taste of what’s ahead. . . #Mantisfalls #hiddentraitor #socialdeduction #indiegames #kickstartergames #tabletopgames #noir #boardgamegeek #bgg #tabletop #games #boardgamesofinstagram #gamenight #boardgaming #boardgamereview #tabletopgaming #game #juegosdemesa #athensga #cardgames #boardgamenight #tabletopgame #gaming #mafia #mob #kickstarter #kickstartercampaign

Thanks to @dicebreaker for the incredible review! Here are some quotes from Matt’s article: . “With its sparing brushes of theme, it sharply conjures the feeling of crunching along a sidewalk in the cold, dark night, glancing behind you every few steps and listening through the silence for a second set of footsteps.” . “Cinematicity is baked into every moment of Mantis Falls, from its fit-for-TV title down. There’s the tragic betrayal of every great gangster movie in here, mixed with the stark thrill of classic noir mysteries and topped with a sprinkle of Twin Peaks’ moody small-town claustrophobia.” . “I’ve come away from my time with Mantis Falls excited to share it with as many people as I can.” . “While it’s still early, in time this may well become my favourite social deduction game - it really is that good.” . #Mantisfalls #hiddentraitor #socialdeduction #indiegames #kickstartergames #tabletopgames #noir #bgg #tabletop #gamenight #boardgamereview #tabletopgaming #mafia #mob

Check out these beautiful engraved and sustainable wooden pins and stickers we got for @officialpax_ in Philly this weekend. The stickers are even flexible enough to wrap around a water bottle.

We really enjoyed this recent review of Mantis Falls on The Meeple Dungeon Podcast! Not only did they seem to really get what we were going for (which always makes us very happy), but they also just put on a great podcast. High production quality, articulate and insightful. You should check them out! ☺️ . They’re on Podbean, Spotify and I think pretty much everywhere else you might find your podcasts. 👍 . #Mantisfalls #hiddentraitor #socialdeduction #indiegames #kickstartergames #tabletopgames #noir #boardgamegeek #bgg #tabletop #games #boardgamesofinstagram #gamenight #boardgaming #boardgamereview #tabletopgaming #game #juegosdemesa #athensga #cardgames #boardgamenight #tabletopgame #gaming #mafia #mob #kickstarter #filmnoir

It’s been quite a journey, but our little dream project of Mantis Falls has made it onto the shelves of Barnes & Noble and even ascended up their bestseller lists! 😮 . It’s a tribute to the strength and supportive nature of the indie board game community that it could make it this far. ❤️ . As we wait for a second print run to complete and continue working on what’s next for this game, copies are still available at Barnes & Noble and barnesandnoble.com. 😊 . #Mantisfalls #hiddentraitor #socialdeduction #indiegames #kickstartergames #tabletopgames #noir #boardgamegeek #bgg #tabletop #games #boardgamesofinstagram #gamenight #boardgaming #boardgamereview #tabletopgaming #game #juegosdemesa #athensga #cardgames #boardgamenight #tabletopgame #gaming #mafia #mob #kickstarter #filmnoir

We’ve been busy setting up our second print run for Mantis Falls. While it might seem like a simple matter of 1) submit files 2) press print, color matching has to be done before every job because minute differences in the printer or the residual inks can result in noticeable differences for players. Thank goodness we’re through the color matching phase and moving into assembly! . #Mantisfalls #hiddentraitor #socialdeduction #indiegames #kickstartergames #tabletopgames #noir #boardgamegeek #bgg #tabletop #games #boardgamesofinstagram #gamenight #boardgaming #boardgamereview #tabletopgaming #game #juegosdemesa #athensga #cardgames #boardgamenight #tabletopgame #gaming #mafia #mob #kickstarter
