IN THE WORKS

Brass Fox Games is developing a long-term vision of board games rooted in ecological storytelling and handcrafted design. Below are the upcoming projects — each inspired by a real British landscape and its wildlife.

Meadowvale (2026)

a beautiful game of landscape, wildlife and ecological scoring. With a shared board for 1-4 players.

Status: Designed, written, and playtested. Some revisions to the mechanics are being implemented which is shifting launch dates. Artwork in production, with prototype manufacture in progress.

Update: Some re design work taken place with regards card mechanics, now being playtested (September 2025).

Launch: Kickstarter, 2026.

Meadowvale: Coastlines (2027)

A standalone sequel exploring estuaries, cliffs, and wind-scoured dunes. Introduces new species including seal, peregrine falcon, grass snake, and a scoring mechanic that is shaped by elevation.

Meadowvale: Mountains and Lakes (2027)

An expansion to the original Meadowvale. Adds osprey, buzzard, and perch, along with a new elevation mechanic and fish ecosystems. Inspired by the Lake District.

Meadowvale: The Wintering (TBC)

A wintry expansion that transforms the board as the land freezes and wildlife adapts. Animals shelter, movement slows, and scoring shifts to reflect seasonal behaviour.

Herd (TBC)

A minimalist 2-player abstract strategy game. Follow the roe deer into deep forest, where movement slows and the herd forms.
Status: Playtested, artwork developed. Launch window under review.

The first three titles. Meadowvale, Coastlines, and Mountains and Lakes. are loosely based on three distinct areas of the British Isles: the Cotswolds, the North Cornwall Coast, and the Lake District. These are places I’ve returned to time and again, both as a child and later as an adult, on holidays and while exploring. They are landscapes that mean a great deal to me and are the inspiration for the games, printmaking and my music.
