Bear, whose gregariousness is matched only by his girth, is really excited to let you know…

Hunker is now live on Kickstarter. 🥳

Please check it out! If you like what you see, consider pledging or sharing with others who'd enjoy some woodland hijinx.

@PretzCon Thanks for the shoutout! Fun fact... Hunker made its debut at Pretzcon 2016! 😄 It looked kind of like this (minus the cat).

Hunker’s rolling right along toward its February 2020 crowdfunding launch! #hffff

Hunker has been on a Holiday Hiatus, but it’s back to work today on a How to Play video. Explaining a board game seems like fun, but to do it succinctly and engagingly is incredibly tough. Things are gonna get dangerous I’m afraid...
(wait, was that Squirrel?? 😅)

Hunker teaser trailer incoming! Crowdfunding launch, early 2020. 🦊🐻🐰🐿

Fascinated with the mechanic of helping others to gain points for yourself in board game design. Does anyone know any games that feature this heavily?

(In Hunker this takes the form of Friendship Cards)

Ideal Candidate (the board game) has been sent on a mission! Travel well, meeples… Thanks to @thegamecrafter for the speedy help in producing this swank prototype!

Great news: Hunker was chosen as a Showcase Game for @BostonFIG! Come on by September 29th to check it out. I’ll be running playtests all day. :)

[Hunker Board Game 🦊🐻🐰🐿 @HunkerBoardGame]

Had a great playtest today with the new food stashing/dropping mechanics (meant to spice up decisions players face each turn). So far it seems to do so, while feeling natural to the gameplay/theme and not complicating things much. Might even speed up the gameplay a bit—nice! 😄🦊

@CardboardEdison Thanks so much for all your time and energy in playing our games and giving them some time in the limelight. ☺️☺️☺️

[Paper Wilds @paperwilds]

@dicehateme You’re playing one of the most min/max’d animals in the game! Hope the little critter is good to ya. 😬

On the table now at the #CardboardEdisonAward finals: Hunker Chunky by @paperwilds and Yes, Chef! by Dennis Ku and @danielrocchi67!

[Paper Wilds @paperwilds]

@HunkerChunky is on its way to @CardboardEdison for final judging! Exciting, but I feel a little like an empty nester without it around. Fly safe, little prototype. ✈️

[Paper Wilds @paperwilds]

Can’t express how giddy I am that Hunker was chosen as a finalist for the @CardboardEdison unpublished game award! Thanks so much to everyone who’s given so generously of their time and expertise in play-testing it (so far I count ~200 of you 😮). Work’s not done yet though… 😤
