⌗ 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!!

We want to support emerging, diverse talent joining the board game industry. It’s simple: more diverse game crafters lead to more diverse crafted games ;)

The Hidden Power of PnP

Print-and-play makes games affordable, instantly accessible to everyone, and uniquely personal. You don’t just play the game, you spend time crafting it, too. Think of it like IKEA: you get the pride of saying, 'I made this.' Go, go, PnP!

Nothing New Under the Sun

Board games are great for having fun, but they can also create a safe space to foster integration, emotional regulation and cognitive skills. This gives so much exciting room to explore and create!
