Hamla is a card game that is “””simulating””” a battle. 2 to 3 people can play, but by adding more decks, this can be extended up to any number, but 6 people is a soft limit. The card game has a medieval artstyle.

Playlister is a 1V1 Trading Card Game where players form a band to compete against each other in the Playlister’s Contest. Players must create a setlist that lets them stand out over their opponent’s band by playing into their own strength and/or showing how they’re different.
A social deduction game based on roles given via a random draw of cards. A group of survivors must interrogate everyone as the days go by to figure out which one of them is secretly a vampire. They can use special game cards to argue and make their public deductions while there might be someone who is conspiring against the crowd. The game can be played in groups of 5-8 people. We imagine this game as a fun party game improving on the formulae shown in other games in the genre.
This game was awarded Best Game Design at the Gotland Game Conference 2024.
