New Releases for 2026!
Happy New Years everyone! We hope you enjoyed the holiday season. It was a busy one for us, but busy is a good thing! We were in a mad rush to get the pledges for our Ashes Ascendancy Kickstarter campaign out the door, not to mention getting the Super Auto Pets Card Battle files to the printer. And of course there was all the other stuff we can't even talk about yet!
Now it's a brand-new year and we're kicking it off by announcing our new retail releases!
Yes, the "Dragons and Flagons" factions for Summoner Wars Second Edition are finally here!
The Drakesun Rebellion is a warband composed of humans and their draconic allies. Roast your enemies to a crisp and look darned good doing it, as your troops soar into the battle on their dragon mounts. Did we mention they start the game with a big honkin' dragon champion already in play?
The Guild Dwarves mark the return of an old favorite from the first edition days! These surly grumps hate everything and everyone, and they've assembled an army to better express their frustration. If you like building structures and muttering under your breath, this is the faction for you!
Pick up these exciting new releases at your favorite hobby retailer, or from our web-store!
What a crazy year 2025 ended up being for Ashes! We launched a Kickstarter campaign for this classic battler and people responded. Not only did we create a fantastic new set for Ashes fans, but we brought in a megaton of new players.
The Ashes Ascendancy Starter Set is now available at hobby retail and our web-store! If you're a new player, this set is the perfect way to jump into Ashes. If you're a returning player, this set introduces new magic types and an exciting new bad guy for solo and co-op play!
While we're incredibly proud of these new releases, we'd be mistaken if we didn't clear our throats and tell you just how thrilled we are with the attention Wandering Galaxy: A Crossroads Game received from reviewers.
Our third entry in this series was just awarded the Seal of Excellence by the Dice Tower, named Game of the Year by the Hungry Gamer, and declared Most Immersive Game by Game Boy Geek! We've talked about this around the office, and decided we wholeheartedly agree. Click the links above to see what these esteemed reviewers have to say.
What else does Plaid Hat Games have in store for 2026? So much! We'll have announcements for both Summoner Wars and Ashes Ascendancy soon, Super Auto Pets Card Battle will be swinging into action this spring, and you just know we've got something big and unexpected in the works!
Speaking of Super Auto Pets Card Battle, there's still time to late pledge! We'll be shutting down late pledges before long, so if you were wondering who would win in a fight between a mosquito and an otter, now's a great time to join us!
Here's to a fantastic 2026!
