Stories Grow Here

A glance as a fox darts from cover. A smile as a hedgehog slips into shelter. That quiet satisfaction as the river winds just right. Around the table, a landscape comes to life, shaped by the choices you make together.


These games are about patterns in the wild and stories that unfold with every placement.

Shared. Lived. Remembered.

Meadowvale is a beautifully crafted strategic tile placement game for 1–4 players where you shape terrain and guide wildlife across a shared living landscape. In Meadowvale you place terrain and guide wildlife to shape a living, shared board. Each animal follows real ecological rules — owls strike from line of sight, rabbits cluster for safety, badgers forage along hedgerows. The land shifts turn by turn, as players build habitats, pursue private strategies, and disrupt each other’s patterns.

Perfect for players who love abstract games with depth, elegance, and a sense of place. A two-player abstract strategy game with just four core rules, but those rules unlock a deep interaction space. Pieces move forward on their original square colour, shift through a central 'Turning' mechanic, and evolve from attackers into blockers. There is no capture-based victory. Instead, you win by positioning: lock your opponent’s options, and the game, like the forest in winter, falls silent.

Where Mechanics Follow Ecology

In Meadowvale, game mechanics begin with something real — an ecological pattern, a conservation truth, or a moment of wildlife behaviour.

A hedgehog seeking shelter.
An owl sweeping in a perfect line of sight.
A deer drawn to the stillness beneath the trees. The guiding principle is simple: Every rule should emerge from the natural world,
not be imposed onto it. Rather than layering theme onto pre-built systems, Meadowvale lets ecology shape strategy.

This is how the game tells its story: through tension, terrain, and the behaviour of real British wildlife across a living board.

All box images shown are early mock-ups and subject to change as final design and production evolve.

Likewise, all images of the game board feature prototype components and will differ from the final version. We’ll continue to share updates as The Wintering and Meadowvale develop.
