The Stocking Stuffer Collection is a set of three hobby-themed microgames for people who enjoy games, movies, crafting, or sports. In the trademark style of New Experience Workshop, each game is simple to learn for friends and family while still offering rewarding strategy and depth for experienced players.
SEWING CIRCLE
- Simple, Abstract, Tactics, Solo Mode, Cooperative Mode
Unspool your ribbon and keep it from getting tangled. If someone's ribbon gets tangled, they'll be out of the running!
In Sewing Circle, players take turns revealing cards in the circle and choosing whether to swap them with the cards next to them or in their hand. The goal is to keep your thread from becoming tangled- if your ribbon is tangled at the end of your turn, you lose!
This game is a real tug-of-war, and only by making moves that save yourself and put tension on your opponents will you win. Sewing Circle also includes a solo and co-op mode!

OSCAR BAIT
- Simultaneous Play, Drafting, Tactics, Strategy, Take That, Highly Replayable
You are a star actor looking to earn the accolades you so richly deserve. Prove your talent by earning top roles and taking down your rivals to keep them from outshining you. You'll have to find the right balance between taking auditions and talking down your competition if you want to take home the prize!
Playing Oscar Bait takes place in two distinct phases- Audition and Sabotage. In the audition phase each player drafts a choice role or scathing gossip from their hand and passes the rest along. Roles a player places into their schedule are worth points at the end, but are at risk of being lost or stolen based on the Sabotage cards played. Determine the right track for success and you'll end up with the best schedule in the end, but judge poorly and you may end up a bit player in someone else's story!

POCKET PITCH & PUTT
- Simultaneous Play, Movement Programming, Simulation, Strategy, Drafting
Gauge your shots and read the green to outplay your fellow golfers!
Pocket Pitch & Putt is a tiny golf simulator above the rest. Power and Control have to be managed to keep your shots out of the rough and away from the dreaded sand trap. By anticipating your opponent's condition cards, playing your own, and reading the wind you'll stay on the fairway and make it in under par! Pocket Pitch & Putt includes 6 colorful ball tokens and 18 unique holes. The 'Front 9' for casual golfers and the more advanced 'back 9' for seasoned veterans.

Risks and challenges
New Experience Workshop is a name that can be trusted when it comes to fulfilling a card game Kickstarter, as our previous successes show. I am proud of the reputation we have earned for delivering on our promises on time or early and treating each backer with the highest degree of customer service.
Due to the tight timeline, rewards may become limited or closed during the campaign if demand looks as if it may exceed our capacity to supply. We are committed to making this campaign a resounding success for all backers and we will not sacrifice that commitment for potential gain.
