St Davids is often called the UK's smallest city, home to fewer than two thousand people and a cathedral big enough for all of them and their cousins. Tradition says Wales's patron saint was born on the clifftop just outside town.
Every “Greetings from St Davids” game ends with a postcard flying in: the place in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. What goes in the jokes is up to you: St Davids Cathedral, St Davids Bishop's Palace and Whitesands Bay, its reputation as the UK's smallest city, or the thing that happened on day two that nobody is allowed to mention.
St Davids is a favourite stop on the path, and after a day of clifftops and sea views a postcard is a nice way to say where your feet have got to.
Spending 1 March in the city named after the saint himself is a lovely thing to share, daffodil and all.
Seals, seabirds and a bumpy ride round the island make the kind of day the kids will talk about for weeks. A postcard game lets them start now.
Idea 1
A runner suits a city small enough to sprint across, with the beach minutes away and summer gulls to jump.
Put this in
“Toured the whole city in twenty minutes. Spent the rest of the day on the beach.”
Idea 2
St David's Day falls at the start of spring, so the Easter look's rabbits and eggs bring the right springtime mood.
Put this in
“Wore a daffodil all day. A bee followed me to the cathedral.”
Idea 3
A climber fits clifftop walking, and the icicles and hot chocolate suit a blowy day on the Pembrokeshire coast.
Put this in
“Walked the coast path in a gale. My hood is now somewhere near Ireland.”

Landmarks to name-drop
The game shows the place name and your message, not these landmarks: the Postcard look’s far-off silhouettes are generic. Your words do the sightseeing.
Free to build and play with our demo characters. To send it, star your own people (drawn from a photo with a plan); publishing and the link are free. See pricing or read how it works.
No. The game is titled “Greetings from St Davids” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw St Davids Cathedral. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not St Davids’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention St Davids Cathedral in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus from St Davids! Daffodil on, cathedral visited, cawl eaten.” You could also throw in “Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus” (Happy St David's Day).
