March 21st, 2024
TLDR: Series 2 KS launches Tuesday. It includes expansions for Series 1 Games: Dice Clash and Mint-Tin Monster Mash-Up. Series 1 reprint in progress - small changes.
Mint Tin Series 2 Launching 3/24/2026!
Tuesday morning at 9:30 EST I will be launching my Mint Tin Series 2! 4 new games, 2 expansions for Series 1 (more on that in a bit), and 2 expansions for games in the new series. Plus reprints of Series 1. This is going to be a big Kickstarter of small games! It would mean the world if you could click the picture above and select "Notify me on Launch". Check out the KS Video for a brief rundown on what's coming!
Series 1 Expansions
Fans of the original Battle Bundle rejoice! I've got some exciting new content for you!
Dice Clash: Arenas
Dice Clash: Arenas adds a lot of new fun to Dice Clash!
2 new Characters: Jane VIII and Kuaket from Super Snipers - with fresh new art by Hwa Siang - join the Battle.
1 new Automa: Puteri is ready to challenge you solo players!
6 Arenas: Warriors must now contend with an Arena that offers rewards for completing its challenge. The first to the center claims the Bonus Die. Knock your opponent off the edge for an alternate win condition!
2 new Dice Types: Add these to your pool to expand your tactical options. The Defensive Die auto-parries all attacks 6 or higher, regardless of its defense value. The Focus Die can block attacks of the same value AND you can choose whether it is affected by modifiers or powers! And there's also an additional red Special Die to claim, allowing you to activate your Warrior's power a second time in a round!
Arenas
Players start on opposite ends of the Arenas and advance forward whenever they play a die where its ending face value matches the Challenge Numberof the Arena. Gain immediate modifiers that affect dice in your pool. Reach the center first to claim the Bonus Die. Force your opponent off the edge to claim an immediate victory!
Mint-Tin Monster Mash-Up: Arenas adds a ton of new content!
12 new Cryptid Monsters: New Monsters with new powers! Amazing cryptid artwork from John de Campos!
2 new Mad Scientists: Dr. Evolve can re-make her monster mid-battle, while Dr. Time can pull off big swings in the Boost Phase by predicting his opponent's signal.
New Automa: Dr. Fission is able to resurrect his creatures once per battle! Good luck!
Updated Dr. Chaos: The most playtesting you'll ever get is after your game releases! It's become apparent that Dr. Chaos was a little underpowered. This new version corrects that and is meant to replace your current Dr. Chaos.
10 Arena Cards: These mini cards have fronts and backs like the monsters do and combine to create unique conditions every round!
Arenas
Each round, the top card of the Arena stack is flipped and added to the right side to create a new Arena combo. If players meet the "If" condition, they place their Arena Tracker on the Arena. They can spend it that round to activate the Arena's "then" effect.
Second Printing of Series 1 Games:
Since delivering the games last Fall, they've sold exceptionally well at conventions, through distribution and retailers, and now on Amazon. I've initiated a second print run and taken the opportunity to make some changes and address a few issues that came up. Here's what's changing:
General Changes:
Corners of the cards are going to be rounded more so they can come out of the tins more easily.
Games will come sealed in plastic now to avoid getting scratched or opening up during shipping.
The tins will all see a 1mm increase in height. That doesn't sound like much, but it will help with them staying closed more securely. I've checked, and this will not affect their ability to fit inside the carrying cases.
Dice Clash:
Small rulebook updates for clarity.
Mint-Tin Monster Mash-Up:
Small rulebook updates for clarity.
Wording change on the solo reference card for clarity.
Dr. Chaos has an updated power for better balance. Updated version is also included in the expansion so that owners of the 1st print can replace him without needing the 2nd printing.
Basic Power now gives 3 Energy instead of 1.
Adrenaline power adds doing 1 Damage to your opponent as well as flipping the die.
Heritage Farms:
Small updates to rulebook for clarity
Thinner tokens to help with the game fitting back in the tin.
Updated Elmer Reference Card with a slight rule change to help the difficulty be more consistent:
The difference is in Step 3. Previously, it was possible for Elmer to return to a Farm that had no more goods. While this is thematically consistent (it's a dumb move) it results in a big advantage for the player when he does.
Verdant Arizona:
Small rulebook updates for clarity
Added a second scoring reference card so each player can have their own.
A few quick notes for Backers:
Heritage Farms: A lot of people have not noticed that the brown top and bottom of the acrylic boats is actually protective paper that can be peeled off! Peel it off and watch those boats shine!
Also with Heritage Farms: Some folks have been confused with the sticker sheets. The instructions are on the backs of the sticker sheets.
Well, thank you again for making this such a huge success! I hope you've been enjoying the games. If you can, a rating on BGG goes a long way.
I hope you'll check out my newest project when it launches on Tuesday, March 24th at 9:30 EST. If you want to hang with me when I hit that big green button, I have a FB live event you can join.
And if you want to watch me play Mint Mechs live with Panda8ngel, I'll be joining her for a live Twitch Stream at 3pm EST on Sunday, March 22nd (tomorrow).
Thank you!

We did it!
At this point, fulfillment for all parts of the world should be done. If you don’t have your games OR a tracking number for your games, you’ll want to reach out.
For Canadian Backers: Reach out to Bridge Distribution: [email protected]
For all other Regions: Reach out to Spiral Galaxy: [email protected]
Overall, fulfillment has gone smoothly and I really appreciate the amazingly positive feedback I’ve heard from backers. Thank you for your patience, support, and trust through this journey. It wasn’t perfectly smooth (I don’t think that’s possible) but I did my best to be transparent and vocal about issues that arose. At the end of the day, I want you to feel good about your purchase and have fun! So far, it looks like I’ve succeeded in that endeavor!
Local Pick Up:
I have a Local Pick-Up / Release Event scheduled for Sunday, November 2nd from 2-3 pm at TableTop Gaming in downtown Syracuse! Come grab the games, play the games, see what's next, and hang out! There will be snacks and drinks provided as well as a full bar and food options from the host. FB Event Page is here
I will also be coming to Millennium Games in Rochester, NY on Saturday, November 8th from 1-5pm. Millennium is the largest game store in the entire US! If you've never been, I swear it is worth the trip! I'll be on the floor with a demo table showing off the games, which will be for sale there. If you want to do local pick up there, please reach out to me ahead of time so that I make sure to bring the stock with me.
Well, that's it for this short update. Thank you again for your support!

Heritage Farms: Stickers, Tape, and putting it all back.
7 months ago
– Wed, Oct 15, 2025 at 11:58:13 AM
I apologize for the frequency of these updates, but I do want to address issues as they come up. This will be a brief update focusing on Heritage Farms.
How do I get this back in the Mint Tin?!
There's a lot of stuff in that tin! And getting it back in can be tricky. Here's how I manage.
What are the stickers for?
The instructions are actually on the back of the sticker sheet (not in the rulebook). The idea is to put the foxes on the red cubes, the chickens and zombie chickens on opposite sides of white cubes, and corn and poison corn on opposite sides of the yellow cubes. They are only strictly needed for the advanced modes, but can add some fun theme to the base game as well.
Possible Issues:
A couple of you have sent me pictures of these tins arriving opened when you get them. Sorry about that! Check your components carefully if this happens to you.
Some of the copies I received also had tape on them. As with Dice Clash, be careful when removing the tape to avoid damaging the graphics.
If you are missing any pieces or anything is damaged and you want a replacement, please reach out to QML.
Overall, there seems to be very few issues arising.
Solo Mode Confusion:
I've been answering questions over on BGG. One issue that came up was some confusion around the set-up for Elmer in the solo mode. Note that the set-up example is from the Blue Player's Perspective but that Elmer is Blue in the solo mode, so you need to set up from the point of view of the Orange Player. Quickly, whatever color you are, your Farms should be oriented so you can read them to your left, and your Markets to the right. You can simply flip the rulebook upside down to see the perspective and set-up for the Orange Player / solo mode.
I'll be back with Local Pick Up news soon. Canadians, let me know when you get your games!
