The creation of Down the Canal was a labor of love,
and a divine download. It has been quite the fun ride,
watching it grow. It is kind of like watching my kids grow up!!
It is my hope that this game will answer a lot of your questions
about childbirth, and encourage you to explore further.

I spoke at 1M Cups when I was in the process of deciding what was next (after 2,000 games sold) for Down the Canal. While I know that we live in a digital age, I have decided to continue with a physical game for now. Watch this video to learn why I created Down the Canal. |
