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 fully playtested. Artwork in production, with prototype manufacture in progress.
Launch: Kickstarter, Spring 2026.

Coastlines (late 2026)

A standalone sequel exploring estuaries, cliffs, and wind-scoured dunes. Introduces new species: seal, peregrine falcon, grass snake, and a scoring system 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 (2027)

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: The Wintering (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.

Two other games based on the same Meadowvale system have also been pencilled in: Appalachia, Arctic and Coral, both building maps that are based on the real environments of the Arctic and coral reefs, along with the myriad flora and fauna that inhabit them. This move the system out of the British Isles and into other global ecosystems.
