The card table got a little out of hand.

From the workshop

A sensible studio might add another card game and call it a productive afternoon.

Our workbench now includes dragons, defensive towers, a heroic dinosaur, princess wardrobes, entire towns, and several unicorn-related responsibilities.

The card table did not disappear. It acquired some very unusual neighbors.

The expanding lineup has brought different design problems with it. A card game needs clarity and rhythm. A flying dragon needs convincing movement. A creative world needs room to explore. A princess wardrobe needs the shoes to maintain a professional relationship with the feet.

These are not interchangeable problems, and the games should not feel like the same template wearing different hats.

What connects them is the aim: make the interaction inviting, the personality memorable, and the next thing you want to do obvious.

We are building a family of games, not a warehouse of icons.

Somewhere along the way, the workbench became a neighborhood. Apparently we are responsible for the zoning now.
