What a week it's been here at Button Shy! Jason and I try to spend a little bit of time each week on improving the office. There's been a lot of moving around bins of games, tables and clutter. If you've been f...

Woah! Can you believe it's already time for the July Preview?! I can't wait to show you what we have coming your way. But first, before I do, I gotta update you on the news! Our weekly news has been a nice tool for communicating our progress so I think I'll keep updating you weekly on it.

Before I start with the June Preview I wanted to remind everyone a few things:
If you haven't already joined the Button Shy discord come check it out!
Attention Print and Players, we are going to be updating the Dropbox and that means some PNP's will be leaving soon. I'd hate for anyone to miss out, so get them before they’re gone! But don't worry, we have more games coming in to take their place.
Welcome everyone, today will be the first of a new monthly interview I will be hosting. The goal is to have short, fun chats with designers and artists in the Button Shy community. I figured who better to start with than my big bro over here at Button Shy, Jason Tagmire.
I'm sure many of you have chatted with him at con...

I know April starts in like 4 hours here, but March was a rough one (but we did get out all of the March packages so that's a relief!). I didn't even realize tomorrow was April 1 until someone asked me if I was sending an early April Fools Day prank. I promise you, there will be none here. :)
So let's look at the April...

This video is such a big deal for us.
Not only does it validate what we've been doing for so long here, but it shares us with a whole world of boardgamers that probably had no idea that we even existed. I can assure this is true based on the wave of orders we are pushing through right now. It's like we just launch...

Gather your crew and gear and launch into a fringe section of space where the law teeters over the edge and a good captain can earn a living. There's no shortage of threats that endanger the goodfolk of deep space, but luckily your torpedo bay is full and lasers are hot.
