An independent game studio in Dublin
Think & play boldly.
We make fast, competitive games with meaningful choices — the kind that keep the whole table leaning in.
Our story
Our story
From late-night talks
to real games.
We're two Spanish founders with IT backgrounds who, back in 2020, decided to stop talking about games and start building them.
What began as late-night debates about mechanics slowly became a publishing project. We don't chase a theme — we chase a type of experience: sharp decisions, strong interaction, games that feel alive at the table.
Our first title explores markets and risk. The next might be something completely different. What stays constant is our obsession with systems, tension and meaningful choices.
That's it. We make games we'd want to play ourselves.
We're building this label for the long run — aiming to grow into a respected publisher in Ireland.
Proudly based in
Dublin, Ireland
Dublin, IrelandWhere the late-night talks happen — usually over a pint.
What stays constant
Three rules we play by.
Sharp decisions
If a turn plays itself, it isn't finished. Every choice should cost you something.
Strong interaction
The best moments happen between players — the reads, the bluffs, the table talk.
Alive at the table
We design for the moment everyone leans in. Tension you can feel in the room.
The road so far
Up and to the right.

First Kickstarter
Six years of prototypes, playtests and late-night arguments about balance.
Field research at the Guinness Storehouse. Someone had to do it.
The founders
That's Nelson and Ander.
“Good games come from taking the work seriously — without taking yourself too seriously.”
The two people behind the studio. We care about details, argue about mechanics, obsess over balance — and celebrate the small wins along the way.
What you see here is pretty much how we work: focused, committed, and enjoying the process.
The brand
If a prototype doesn't live up to these four lines, it doesn't leave the studio.
