A Tiny Tin Tale

This week we have some new titles from Bedsit Games, along with Twitten which we shared details with you last week we also have two 'Tiny Tin Tales'. These are small games that are set in the same world as Paupers Ladder. 


First up we have The Crows of Coppershell Bay. 

Prepare yourself for a tiny tin adventure set in the coastal town of Coppershell Bay. You play a lowly skinner at the local maggot farm who has 3 days to pay back their debt of 60 Gems to the local Crows gang. You’ll spend these days exploring the town trying trying to earn money, the nights resting, eating and working extra shifts at the farm. Any time between you’ll be taking on quests for the miners’ guild, venturing into the dangerous tunnels underground.


The Crows of Coppershell Bay is a game of luck pushing, coin counting, dungeon crawling and village living for 1 player. It's the first in the Tiny Tin Tales series, a collection of portable games set in the world of Brighthelm.

This is the second edition of The Crows of Coppershell Bay. For a round up of the tweaks and balances in this edition, pop over here.


Secondly we have The Siege of Shaddis Horne. 

The fairies have gone mad. Their once quaint magic threatens all of Brighthelm. The golems they created to protect the villages are now tearing them apart.

Now the little forest town of Shaddis Horne, with its elemental college, is under siege. The fairies know that without this source of magic, Brighthelm’s chemists will be dealt a severe blow. They must be stopped.

Your Hawkguard soldiers have been sent to repel the fairies and their minions, inspire the villagers and keep Shaddis Horne standing until the siege is over. It won't be easy.

The Siege of Shaddis Horne is a co-operative resource gathering tower defence game for 1-4 players, with a smattering of push-your-luck dungeon crawling to boot.


We have both of these games on Sale plus they are available in our games library for either playing in the shop for free or renting for just £2 per night.

Twittens


New from Bedsit Games, the creators of BN1 and Paupers Ladder comes Twittens

Twittens is an old Sussex word to describe the little alleyways and lanes that run between houses and fields. They thread their way through towns and suburbs like veins, walled by red bricks, garden fencing and rusted chicken wire. Elsewhere they're known as ginnels, snicks and vennels.

Twittens is a tile laying game for 1-5 players, set in an everyday English suburb. Work your way through the seasons exploring your local twittens, discovering their houses, wildlife, allotments, playgrounds, railways and electrical substations. Complete your wanderings and get home in time for tea.


Here's a quick introduction to Twittens. I take a few turns and explain how all the different elements score work together.

Magic Presents Pride Event 2026

On June 14, 2026, Magic Presents: Pride returns to KD GAMES for a celebration of Pride with a special Commander event! 

At this event, you'll play Commander against your fellow attendees. And in the spirit of Pride, every commander has partner! Craft a prismatically powerful deck or highlight your Magic OTP.

Pick any two legal commanders, pair them up, and express your Pride in a way that's unique to you! If you're looking for ideas, pair up your favorite couple from the Magic Multiverse, like Ral and Tomik or Saheeli and Huatli. Build a deck that's out of this world with Sami, Wildcat Captain and The Seriema at the helm. You can even combine two versions of your favorite character, like Gonti, Lord of Luxury and Gonti, Night Minister. This event is all about creating a deck that speaks to you, so build whatever brings you joy!


To commemorate the event, Magic Presents: Pride participants will receive a traditional foil Gilded Lotus promo card, while supplies last, featuring artwork by Merlin G.G. This illustration depicts the Gruulfriends, Chandra and Nissa, in a peaceful, tender moment. We love this promo card, and we think you will, too.

Coming Soon

Here are a few games that will be coming to KD GAMES later this year ...

Codenames: Critical Role Adventures is a unique take on Codenames inspired by the Critical Role universe. It’s a fully cooperative version of the game where one GM (game master) leads their party through perilous missions, each with its own twist and take on the classic Codenames rules and featuring a new set of themed words. Play the game in three separate campaigns, choose from seven Critical Role characters, and, by leveling them up, unlock new abilities and equip items to use during missions.
In Drillers, players explore an abandoned mine using their mechs, trying to find and excavate anything useful or valuable left behind by a forgotten mining corporation. Each level of the mine brings new opportunities and new challenges as fuel runs low and decisions become tighter. By collecting cards, players unlock new actions and improve the drilling capabilities of their mechs—inspired by iconic real-life vehicles—to push their operations deeper underground.


You’ve made new blankets for your cats, but they want their old ones back! Remake the original patterns quickly before the yowling begins!

Each round, a goal card is revealed for everyone to see. All players try to recreate that pattern as quickly as possible by weaving threads on their personal player boards. Players grab a cat token as soon as they finish. The player who fails to complete their blanket before the tokens run out receives a penalty, unless another player wrongfully claimed a token with an incorrect pattern.

It’s a unique, pattern-matching puzzle game for friends and families alike.


As the frosty days grow shorter, your cozy café becomes the ultimate refuge for customers seeking comfort from the cold. In Coffee Rush: Winter, the high-stakes barista business returns with a seasonal chill, challenging players to balance the frantic pace of peak hours with the delicate art of crafting winter specialties. Fulfilling orders earns you precious "like" cards and points, but fall behind, and those disgruntled customers will leave "dislikes" that count against your final score. Whether the game ends because the order deck is depleted or a barista accumulates five penalties, only the player who manages the winter rush with the most efficiency will be crowned the top barista.
