This month (May) we mark eleven years in business. There have been ups and downs; many of the downs have related to efforts to get our games into overseas distribution. So this year we are focusing all our attention on growing our brand here in our home, Aotearoa New Zealand.
 

The beginning of the year saw us release our ninth title, Glimstone Grab, and add several new retailers to our flock. 

We've been working on our tenth title, FARMily Feud; have our eleventh lined up; and are contemplating adding a special expansion to Hoard for its tenth anniversary edition.
 

​As always, Cheeky Parrot will have a presence at events to promote our existing titles and playtest those under development. 
 

First up, we had the Cancer Society Games Fair (the Cloud, Auckland, 10-11 May) which featured a Cheeky Parrot-sponsored area where people could play all our games (published titles and those we distribute) for free. We had seven play tables plus our library set up and five volunteers on hand each day to help keep our visitors entertained.
 

• Board at Valkyrie, 17-18 May, 10 am to 5 pm each day, hosted by our Palmerston North retailer Valkyrie Games. We're attending this for the first time.

• Auckland Winter Armageddon runs 31 May-2 June. Look for us on Sunday afternoon.

• Tabletop Tūranga (Christchurch main library, 7-8 June) is a free family-friendly games festival that's been going from strength to strength since it began a few years ago. This will be the first time Julia will attend.

Please note that we have decided not to attend Wellycon this year.
