Mission Statement

It’s a great time to be publishing in this space, and there’s plenty of excellent competition. So, for us to create games that truly earn a spot at your dining table and set us apart, we work from the following 10 core tenets:

1. Fun is non-negotiable.
   We obsessively playtest with a wide range of audiences. If doesn't land, it doesn't ship. Simple as that.
   
   
2. Easy in, depth later.
   Our games are quick to learn, but take time to work out the best strategies. New players stay competitive, experienced players have room to be clever.
   
   
3. Looks matter.
   We bow down to the rule of cool. Don't get us wrong, we think our gameplay rocks too, but you're not going to know that unless our games make it to your doorstep in the first place!
   
   
4. Meaningful choices.
   Every decision should feel like it matters. No autopilot turns, no obvious “correct” way to play.
   
   
5. Chaos, but never nonsense.
   Unpredictability keeps things exciting, but luck should never decide the winner on its own.
   
   
6. Multiple paths to win.
   If there’s only one way to succeed, it’s a puzzle. We make games, not puzzles.
   
   
7. People maketh the game.
   The best moments happen between players. Interaction is at the heart of our design philosophy.
   
   
8. We are allergic to snowballing.
   Runaway leaders will get challenged. Not by arbitrary rules, but by the systems in place. Snowballs begone!
   
   
9. Respect the theme.
   History, sci fi, or whatever it may be, our mechanics feel like they belong in that world.
   
   
10. Built to be played time and again.
    We strongly believe no two sessions should ever feel the same. If we can get you to crack open our games every other week, we're winning.
