It’s time to celebrate that with the comeback of the eerily beautiful Summer Solstice background, inspired by the Slavic folk culture.
The Summer Solstice background is available now and until July 4th!

Immerse yourself in the charming and mysterious nature of summers past once more. The background is available for a limited time, or unlimited if you get the Seaonal Decorative Pack.

We hope this update enhances your gameplay experience, especially since we'll be a bit quieter over the next couple of days. Tomorrow is a bank holiday here in Poland, where Monster Couch is based. Our team will be temporarily unavailable, but don’t worry - we’ll be back Monday, ready to tackle any issues you report with fresh energy!

Wingspan: Asia Expansion is Now Available on Steam! New Birds Await!
Birders, it’s here!
Wingspan: Asia Expansion is officially live and ready to bring a fresh wave of strategic depth, beauty, and variety to your preserve.
[p][/p]
In Asia Expansion, you will explore the vibrant ecosystems of the East, encountering a stunning variety of new birds, each with unique powers that can completely change how you approach your game. Whether you are a returning birder or just getting started, Asia offers new layers to master and new possibilities to uncover!
[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
At the heart of this expansion is the Duet Mode, a brand-new way to play designed specifically for two players. Compete on a shared map, place tokens with purpose, and adapt to special end-of-round goals that keep each session dynamic and engaging. Duet Mode is available both offline and online. It also works in real-time matchmaking for everyone, even if you do not own the expansion!
[p][/p]
Beyond new gameplay, this expansion brings a range of stunning visuals and outstanding music. Soak in four gorgeous backgrounds inspired by the diverse regions of Asia, and choose from eight beautifully crafted new player portraits to bring a fresh look to your digital birdwatching experience. All of it is accompanied by a serene and immersive new soundtrack by Paweł Górniak.
[p][/p]
For new players or those wanting to refresh their knowledge, the tutorial has been completely reworked. It's now clearer, easier to follow, and comes with in-game rewards for completion. Two new tutorials - one focused on the Asia bird powers and the other on Duet Mode will help you understand the new rules and get ready to play with confidence.
[p][/p]
Automa has also been updated to reflect the new rules introduced in this expansion. She now reacts to bird powers that benefit other players, and you will find smarter interactions and more transparency when playing against her, thanks to improved UI and gameplay tweaks.

Ready to test your skills against new challenges, discover rare birds, and fly through new, enchanting landscapes?

Step into a world of dragon artisans in Flamecraft!
After Wingspan and Quilts and Cats of Calico, we here at Monster Couch are thrilled to invite you to step into the warmth and wonder of our newest title: Flamecraft!
Enter a cozy, magical world where artisan dragons breathe life into enchanted shops and clever strategy sparks delight at every turn.
In Flamecraft, players take turns visiting shops helping dragons find ideal homes and using enchantments to entice them to produce wondrous things. Your reputation will grow as you aid the dragons and shopkeepers, and the player with the most reputation wins.
Dragons are specialized (like: bread, meat, iron, crystal, plant and potion) and playing well relies on knowing when and where to go. You visit a shop to gain items and a favor from one of the dragons there which can also make a combo with the store's power. Gathered items can be later used to enchant a shop, gaining reputation and the favors of all the dragons in the shop. There are also ways to attract fancy dragons that give you additional opportunities to secure even more reputation.
Flamecraft features:
A Living World of Dragons and Magic
In this city, dragons and everyday life blend into one enchanting landscape. The baker at Guilty Treasures can’t wait to watch your dragon whip up sugary treats, while Scale Mail Post stands ready to deliver your enchanted letters. Every corner of the town hums with possibility, as artisan dragons lend their fiery talents to ignite mundane tasks, turning them into moments of magic and delight.
Play Your Way, Solo or Together
Whether you crave a quiet afternoon of single-player strategy or a fiery multiplayer showdown, Flamecraft has you covered. Face challenging AI opponents, set up a custom game for family and friends, or try the online mode with fellow Flamekeepers. No two games will ever unfold the same way!
Strategic Resource Management and Combo Crafting
Each turn, you’ll visit a unique shop: perhaps Gnome Depot for iron, Drake of Cakes for fresh pastries, or Draconic Tonic for bubbling concoctions. Those resources power your enchantments, which in turn fire up whole shops of dragons at once. Mastering the timing and sequence of these combos is key to outmaneuvering your rivals and racking up the reputation points you need to win.
Over 70 Dragons, 30 Shops and One Whimsical Score
We’ve brought Sandara Tang’s exquisite art to life in a vibrant 3D sculpted town, animating over seventy charming dragons as they hone their crafts across thirty distinct shops. To complete the experience, Paweł Górniak, composer of Wingspan and Quilts and Cats of Calico, returns with a spellbinding soundtrack that will carry you through every clever twist and cozy moment.
