Pride 2026 Collection - Games That Tell Queer Stories or Made By Queer Creators

You are an amateur dracologist in the world of Wyrmspan, a place where dragons of all shapes, sizes, and colors roam the skies. Excavate a hidden labyrinth you recently unearthed on your land and entice these beautiful creatures to roost in the sanctuary of your caves. During a game of Wyrmspan, you will build a sanctuary for dragons of all shapes and sizes. Your sanctuary begins with 3 excavated spaces—the leftmost space in your Crimson Cavern, your Golden Grotto, and your Amethyst Abyss. Over the course of the game, you will excavate additional spaces in your sanctuary and entice dragons to live there, chaining together powerful abilities and earning the favor of the Dragon Guild.Wyrmspan is inspired by the mechanisms of Wingspan, though its 16+ unique elements make Wyrmspan a standalone game (not compatible with Wingspan).ComponentsWyrmspan plays up to 5 players, and it is flexible in size for various tables due to 3 smaller central boards (instead of a single big game board). Each player mat is 475x290mm (a little wider than Wingspan). It includes:• 2 rulebooks (multiplayer and solo)• 1 dragon fact book (32 pages)• 5 player mats• 5 adventurer meeples and 5 guild tokens• 183 dragon cards (148 full-grown dragons and 35 hatchlings; 57x87mm)• 75 cave cards (57x57mm)• 4 dragon guilds• 55 speckled egg tokens• 10 double-sided objective tiles• 45 shiny cardboard coins• 10 quick-start cards (2 cards per player; 57x87mm)• 17 Automa solo mode cards (57x87mm)• 1 box (296x296x70mm, and it weighs 2.6 kg)

The World of Wingspan just got a lot bigger with the addition of Finspan! Elizabeth Hargrave helped designers David Gordon and Michael O’Connell develop this game into something that is familiar-yet-different from Wingspan, delving deep into the fish theme. You are a marine researcher seeking to find and observe an array of aquatic life in the colorful Sunlight Zone, ghostly Twilight Zone, and pitch-black Midnight Zone of the world’s seas and oceans. In Finspan, the fish you discover over 4 weeks will generate a series of benefits as you dive deeper into the ocean. Each dive site specializes in a key aspect of expanding your research: Grow your collection of fish. Discover freshly laid eggs. Hatch eggs into young and consolidate young to form schools. The winner is the player with the most points gained from fish, eggs, young, schools, and achievements.ComponentsRulebookTotal card quantity/size: 152 cards, all 57x87mmPlayer mat size: 530x284mmAutoma solo mode includedBox specs: (296x296x70mm, 1.9 kg, individually numbered)Storage: Finspan includes a plastic tray to hold cards and tokens.

Curses Covens is an all verses one card game where three or more friendly towns face off against the witch hunter. One player plays as the witch hunter and wins by capturing witches. The player playing the witch hunter will be trying to keep track of where the cards are and pushing their luck to try and collect them. The other players play as the towns and are on the side of the witches. They are playing a game of bluffing and silent cooperation as they try to outsmart the witch hunter. The game plays through four main phases. The census, the arrival, the journey, and the hunt. These repeat until one side has won. The census phase is the only time where the towns players are able to communicate freely. During the other phases communication is limited. The hunt phase involves the witch hunter player drawing cards blindly from other players hands, trying to capture witches and avoid rituals.

Wanderhome is a pastoral fantasy role-playing game about traveling animal-folk, the world they inhabit, and the way the seasons change. We play travelers — animal-folk who go from village to village and get to see the length and breadth of all the world of Hæth. Each player will make a character with the help of one of fifteen possible playbooks, making choices about their personality, animal-form, look, and passions. Each of these playbooks give you a radically different approach both to navigating the setting and growing over time. Once you’ve created your character, you and your fellow travelers guide them through the dreamlike pastoral world of Hæth. You can inconvenience yourself or step outside your comfort zone in order to get tokens, and then turn around and spend those tokens to tackle larger problems and help make the world a better, kinder space. Built on the Belonging Outside Belonging engine — there’s no dice, no math, no Game Masters, and no complicated rules. It’s all about getting you into the game as smoothly as possible, and filling your imagination with richly developed worlds and evocative text.

In Sleepaway, you play as a camp counselor at a not-so-ordinary summer camp besieged by a Strange and ominous cryptid. Isolated from civilization, this summer camp is a beacon of  safety, a refuge for misfit kids defined by their marginalization. The Lindworm is a shapeshifter, or so the stories go; a creature that flays the skin of humans and hides within. As counselors of this summer camp, you’ve each been traumatized by the Lindworm, in your own ways. You remember little of that time. Just that you don’t want anyone else to experience it either, and you’ll keep this camp safe no matter what. Sleepaway uses the diceless Belonging Outside Belonging system where everyone shares the role of facilitator and creates and interacts with the Setting Elements together. One player is responsible for channeling the Lindworm and draws from a deck of cards that cause an unsettling event to occur.
