SpikeHat Games

One of my favorite games! Always excited to get this one to the table, Spirit Island. This weekend we tried playing against the Kingdom of Sweden at level 3 with the Dahan Insurrection scenario… yea we lost horribly. This game can be so hard sometimes, but still so fun!

Outside of game design, the Hat enjoys pretty much all things John Williams. This past weekend involved going to the new Harry Potter store downtown in Chicago, and then afterwards watching Raiders of the Lost Ark with a live symphony!

Games games games! It’s been busy and fun at SpikeHat Games in 2026 so far, and lots more to come! We are currently building a prototype for Seadogs & Scallywags, and there’s a hidden hint within this post about what our next game will be about… lease a comment if you think you know!

What you've all been waiting for! These are SHG's first year financials, and we couldn't be prouder! Haha, jokes aside, Sam and I are excited for the new year, and bigger news about Seadogs & Scallywags as well as other games in the works will come later this month for those who have been following (or for those new too).

For those who don't know, I work in corporate accounting and have some years experience as an auditor preparing many financial statements. I'd love to help anyone out for those seeking advice/help with creating or maintaining their books for their business. It doesn't have to be a board game related business either, I'm always eager to meet new people in the gaming space and learn what they're all about.

It’s the new year and all today is Sam’s birthday! I would like to share that in honor of today (and later this month for my birthday) SpikeHat Games has a little surprise for all of our wonderful followers! Hint: it has something to do with our birthdays, and the answer has been brought up on our podcast before…
