Boilerplate

Copy and paste — this is written to be used verbatim.

NEWQZ is an independent tabletop studio founded in 2017, working across board games, modern artworks and handicrafts. Its games — the strategy party card game Crow Drinks Water and the modular map escape card game Spire of Dioronna — were both funded on Kickstarter and delivered to backers, and are sold worldwide from newqz.com. The studio's next title, CityWright, is a hex-tile city planning game illustrated entirely in pen-and-ink and watercolour.
