Inactive Prototypes

If you're interested in trying out one of these games, but don't know where to start, I've created a Google Sheet which organizes all of my games by complexity, required components, player count, and theme/mechanics. Feel free to check it out!

I am not actively working on these prototypes, but I would still like to share them with you. If you would like to contribute to their development, please message me with more information.

Grotesque is a Victorian-era monster hunting game. One player acts as the Monster Lord, and the other players become hunters sent to destroy the Monster Lord's beasts.

The Lair is a game in which players become explorers, navigating the legendary maze of the Minotaur. Players combine cards in their hands to form sets, and use those sets of cards to take actions, including moving around the maze, stealing gold, and modifying the maze layout. Brave adventurers can also attempt to steal treasures from the Minotaur's Lair - each one gives the player a unique ability.

Paradise Park is a cooperative rescue mission game. Players must work together to find and rescue scouts lost in a national park. Each player takes on the role of a scout pack, and can move their leaders around the map, uncovering tokens and trying to find the scouts before night falls. However, movement is slower when traveling with the scouts, so players need to optimize their paths.

The Stakes is a social deduction game about witchcraft hysteria in colonial New England. Players take on the roles of villagers trying to find and eliminate the witches in their town. Each villager has a unique power a player can use, but if that villager is killed, they become a poltergeist which haunts the town. There is no player elimination because the witches are a passive opponent.
