She talks to wolves...

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have heard me mention a new venture once or twice – Poppy Games, a vibrant and idea-rich game company launched by my brother, Joseph Brannon. He and his creative partners have been developing games collectively for a decade, and are at last ready to share them with the world. He’s got five beautiful and fun card and board games in the pipeline, and he’s just launched a Kickstarter for the first of them: the micro card game Wine.

Wine is an elegantly simple game, easy to learn, and takes minutes to play. All you have to do is avoid the chalice with the palace… I mean the flagon with the dragon… wait… ahem. Just avoid the glass with the poison in it! Of course, to do that, you have to outwit your friends.

Wine is also a visual treat, with lush art created by Sabrina Abrego. Poppy Games is committed to visual and tactile delight as well as good games. The basic game comes in a linen drawstring bag, and the collector’s edition in a handmade bag with a nice box.

So, what are you waiting for? Do you like games? Go back it! The basic game is only $10 – and, if you back it, come back and let me know. (Or just tweet me @geekdame.) I’ll give you a download link for a deliciously creepy wallpaper I made in honor of the game! You’ll get it in a range of wallpaper sizes, as well as sizes perfect for Facebook or Twitter banners:

And don’t forget to share the Kickstarter with your friends! Poppy Games is rich in potential, and y’all can help them realize that.

Full disclosure: I already identified that my brother founded Poppy Games; I am also serving as their Media Relations Consultant.
