Hi all!
We know that Season Two just came out 😅 But we have already been working on the next 3 games behind the scenes! ABGD Season Three will launch in April 2026.
The 3 new games have already been tested a lot and this weekend you can play them at Spellenspektakel in Utrecht at the Authors Square, hall 10 booth 13. We hope to see you there!
(Not all of the art is final and the rules of the games are still being fine tuned)
Greedy Grabbers 🎃
It’s Halloween, and you and your friends — dressed up in your best costumes — are going trick-or-treating. Grab as much candy and magic spells as you can - but don’t get too greedy! Too much candy will make you sick, unless you have the right magic spell... Will you grab the tastiest treats, or will your friends snatch them from under your witchy nose?

Coaster Clash!🎢
Coaster Creation Clash is a semi-co-operative Card-Drafting game in which you build a rollercoaster with the neighbor to your left; as well as the one to your right. It is a fun-filled game that requires strategy and collaberation, build four rollercoasters in total. Increase the excitement for those riding your creations. And beat your opponents with well crafted rides! This family-friendly game plays away in merely 6 rounds. At the end you tally up your scores, check for extra bonuses on your lay-out card and see if you’re the best coaster designer there is!

Stubborn Sheep 🐑
Spring has arrived in the Scottish Highlands, and it’s shearing season! Compete to herd wandering sheep back to their barns. By cleverly placing fences — sometimes on your own land, sometimes on your rivals’ — you send the sheep trotting left or right across the fields. Sheep you capture grant bonuses, helping you catch even more! However, these sheep are stubborn: four breeds walk the Highlands, each with a mind of its own. Will you round up the biggest number of Stubborn Sheep?

SPIEL 2025 🎲 and some shipping delays 🚚
5 months ago
– Tue, Oct 21, 2025 at 12:37:10 AM
Hi all!
Let's get the bad news out of the way first 😓 There have been some delays in the fulfilment of our campaign. We've heard today that not all packages have been shipped yet. Some of you might have gotten a tracking link weeks ago and there have been now updates ever since.
It seems that our fulfilment center is too busy and can't handle all the packages 😔 Which is really annoying and it is something that is out of our hands. Please know that we are in daily contact with them to speed up the process to make sure you will get your games soon. We apologise for the delay.
SPIEL 2025 Tomorrow we are leaving for SPIEL in Essen! It will be harder for us to quickly respond to your messages because we are busy explaining our games to people who have not heard of us yet!
We hope to see you there as well, to play a game or just for a chat. Some of you also choose for a pickup at SPIEL, please drop by booth number 3U130 to pick up your game(s).
Keep playing games!

New game coming next year! 🦋🐜🐞🕷️🪲
6 months ago
– Thu, Oct 16, 2025 at 08:14:22 AM
Hi all,
As you know Amsterdam Board Game Design works closely with Wulfhorn Games to bring our games to life. We would like to announce a new upcoming collaboration: PACT: the future of Branchbourne 🦋🐜🐞🕷️🪲
This will be one of the bigger titles. An epic longer experience for up to 4 players in which you decide the future of Branchbourne. A tiny world with big political intrigue from the mind of Zach Hoekstra (the designer of Grachtenpand), with illustrations by Coen Balkestein (illustrator and designer of Medievallons) and graphic design by Jason Gamber (the artists behind Time Zoo, Grachtenpand and L'oaf).
🌳 The Branchbourne Dynasty is Crumbling 🌳 Pact is an intensely asymmetric political game set in the tiny bug kingdom of Branchbourne, where a crumbling dynasty has created a power vacuum and the future of the entire tree is at stake. As one of four unique aspirants to the throne, your goal is to secure your ascension to power by allying with power players in the system itself. You must make strategic pacts with influential neutral factions like the Softwing Council and the Burrowguard to accumulate political influence. This capital is then used to manipulate Branchbourne's courtiers, bolster your allies' legitimacy, and ruthlessly weaken your rivals' supporting Factions to ensure your sole claim to the throne.
SPIEL 2025 preview During SPIEL on Thursday morning and Frida afternoon you can join us to get a first taste of PACT when we present the prototype. And today we want to share a peek behind the curtain of the development of the game. Please follow our Kickstarter pre-page to get update about the progress of PACT: the future of Branchbourne before it launches in 2026!
