Catvale started as a passion project on Luke’s bedroom table almost four years ago, fully inspired by his cats: Lama & Furia.Fudice isn't a big studio.

Catvale was entirely self-funded, and together with a small group of talented artists Luke took a chance on this fluffy world of cats.Catvale is crushing it on Kickstarter, and you can get in on the action here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fudice/catvaleWHERE TO FIND OUR PODCAST:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5RJbdkguebb3MSLAatZr7riHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-board-game-binge-72500104/Tune In: https://tunein.com/embed/player/p1344218/Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vYm9hcmRnYW1lYmluZ2U=Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/board-game-binge/id1522623033Visit Our Websites: Board Game Binge: https://boardgamebinge.com/Tin Robot Games: https://tinrobotgames.comElixir Board Games: https://www.elixirboardgames.com/our-games
