Accurate rules
We build and test the rules engine around the game’s interactions, including unusual combinations and edge cases. Where the rules leave room for interpretation, we work with you to settle the details.
Digital board game development
Your game.
A new way
to play.
We develop digital editions of tabletop games, with faithful rules, thoughtful interfaces, and strong AI opponents for solo play.
Let’s talk about your game
Independent digital board game studio
01 / The adaptation
Adapting your game for digital play.
A digital edition should preserve the decisions that make the original game compelling. We work from your rules and consider how best to present the game, explain its choices, and keep play moving on screen.
Strong solo play
We develop the AI alongside the rules engine. The aim is an opponent that can use the game’s strategic possibilities and remain interesting as players gain experience.
An interface made for the game
Players should be able to read the board, understand their options, and follow what happened each turn. We adapt the presentation for a screen while retaining the original game’s artwork and identity.
02 / AI development
AI built for your game.
We’re board game enthusiasts and machine learning practitioners with PhDs and nearly a decade of combined experience in AI roles at major technology companies. We’re applying that background to building strong AI opponents for digital board games.
Our development approach combines search and learning: exploring possible moves, evaluating positions, and improving through self-play. We want opponents that can recognise the combinations and longer-term plans that make your game rewarding to learn.
The AI plays by the same rules as a human player. When information is hidden, it must make decisions under that uncertainty too.
Search and learning
03 / Working together
How a partnership starts.
We’re interested in hearing from creators and publishers considering a digital edition. An initial conversation helps us understand your game, what you want from an adaptation, and whether we’re the right development partner.
Discuss the game
Share the rules, what players enjoy about the game, and your priorities for a digital edition.
Evaluate the adaptation
We assess the rules implementation, interface, and AI requirements, then discuss scope, platforms, and development priorities.
Agree on the partnership
Before production, we agree on licensing, responsibilities, scope, and commercial terms.
