The Company
We design and publish games that we would love to play ourselves! We follow what we call the FIR-principles:
Fun
Immersive
Rewarding
We also love the mystic feeling of the Norse mythology, which you will recognize in most of our games. Since we love games in both physical and digital form, and hate to choose just one platform, we create games for tabletop, mobile and PC! đ
Occasionally, we offer our services to like-minded individuals in the industry. We can help out with:
- designing websites,
- companion apps for games,
- or implement the game in simulators such as Tabletop Simulator, Board Game Arena or Screentop.gg
These tools should provide a great user experience for the reader, player and owner / publisher alike đš
The Founders
Hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Norway, our paths were a thousand kilometers apartâyet, it was the digital universe that intricately wove our destinies together in 2016. By 2017, we had embarked on a shared journey, not just in life but in the realm of gaming. Initially, our passion was kindled by the virtual worlds of video games, with the occasional shuffling of cards and the clattering of dice in more conventional board games.
It was the discovery of "Legacy of Dragonholt" and "Spirit Island" in 2018 that heralded a gaming revelation for us. The concept of cooperative play in board games was uncharted territory, and it sparked a boundless curiosity. Aricin, with the tenacity of a wolf on the scent, scoured Kickstarter for games that promised both cooperative and solo adventuresâand the quest yielded a treasure trove of games!
Our collection grew with cherished additions like "Jaws of the Lion" and "Sleeping Gods", acquired from our local board game haven. The joy and engagement from these games sowed the seeds for a new aspiration: to craft our own board game. With a history of dabbling in digital creations, the transition to tactile game development was a delightful pivotâallowing us rapid prototyping and the tangible satisfaction of holding our ideas in our hands.
