Digital board game development
We develop digital editions of tabletop games, with faithful rules, thoughtful interfaces, and strong AI opponents for solo play.
Let’s talk about your game01 / The adaptation
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.
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. Every rule we implement has an automated test tied to the rulebook, and any game can be replayed move for move, so a reported problem can be reproduced exactly.
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, with difficulty levels from a first game to expert play.
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
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.
Our AI policy
Our opponents use game-playing AI. They learn by playing the game itself, not from anyone’s art or writing.
Nothing we make for a game is AI-generated. Art, animation, music, sound, voice, writing and translation are made by people or supplied by the publisher, and we never alter a publisher’s artwork with generative tools. Our work will never be the reason a game needs Steam’s AI content disclosure.
We do use AI tools to help write software.
03 / Working together
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.
Share the rules, what players enjoy about the game, and your priorities for a digital edition. We’re happy to sign an NDA before you share anything unreleased.
We assess the rules implementation, interface, and AI requirements, then discuss scope, platforms, and development priorities.
Before production, we agree on licensing, responsibilities, scope, and commercial terms.
Contact
Our first projects are in development, and we’re open to conversations about future adaptations. Tell us about your game and what you’d like a digital edition to offer.
Please include the game’s name, a link to the rules, and whether you’re its creator, publisher, or rights holder.
