Welcome to the Papelon

Hello there! We are a bunch of game designers from around the world sitting on top of a small limestone island in the middle of the Baltic Sea. Together, we run a tiny board game studio that hopes to make the hobby more accessible for both players and designers.

Join us for the launch of our first Kickstarter campaign! We are featuring two of our games! If you want to learn more about our studio or the games, you’ll find more info below :D

About Us

We are a 3-person board game studio based in the historic island town of Visby, Gotland (the very place where we learned to make games). We love collaborating with designers and artists, and above all, we want more people to play and create games. And that’s why we think print-and-play is so great!

Take a 2 min tour around Gotland with us to learn more about our studio and see where we’re heading next!!

Essom + Hamla

For our first kickstarter we feature two games: Hamla and Essom. Both games were made on Gotland, and they share the award for Best Game Design at the Gotland Game Conference 2025. As the Designers put it: “We are friends that encouraged each other to present our games at the conference, so we see it as a very fitting ending to share the award”.

Curious about the games?
