INTRODUCING SOME OLD FRIENDS…OR FOES?

Tinker Knight

Pros: Gregarious Demeanor, Hard Worker

Cons: Rough Hands, Works Long Hours, Always Out to Prove Himself

Every heist needs a big brain behind the brawn, and the diminutive Tinker Knight signed on as engineer for the job! The little schemer joined the Hexcavators because they had interesting and difficult problems to solve - he doesn’t seem to mind that they’re crooks! Tinker Knight has made his lair in the Smeltworks, where he has found great potential researching submersible magma tech…

Mole Knight

Pros: Great eyesight, shrewd, high endurance

Cons: Obsessive personality, gets damp in armor

After becoming captivated by Drill Knight’s tunneling prowess, Mole Knight joined the Hexcavators not in search of treasure, but for the thrill of the dig! As a burrowing specialist, Mole Knight is prepared for any situation, even excavating the thoroughly-waterlogged ruins of the Secret Fountain. Nimbly cutting both through waves and sand with relative ease, Mole Knight can burrow and backstroke with the best of them thanks to his aquadynamic armor! 

The Yacht Club Games crew is setting sail to Seattle for PAX West (September 2nd- 5th)! You’ll be able to find us exhibiting on the 4th floor at booth #217! We’re BEYOND excited to give you a sneak peak at what we’re working on!
