Grail Games
Grail Games is a small publishing studio located in Sydney, Australia.
Due to our size and distance from the gaming capitals of Western Europe and the USA, most of our games will be smaller - cheaper to produce and ship worldwide. This, of course, does not mean we skimp on quality.
We are currently negotiating rights to a number of game reprints and hope to run a Kickstarter campaign for our first in-house production in the 3rd quarter of 2014.
Our focus is on board and card games that address the following criteria:
Family friendly - Games promote friendships and family fun. Grail Games are designed to be enjoyed by adults and older children at the same time. No mature themes or overly-complex narratives will be employed by our designers.
Fast to teach - We believe that extremely complex games can be fun but are barriers of entry to non-gamers and family-gamers. We will only produce games with clean, straight-forward rules sets.
Offer depth and replayability - Games can be simple and fast, but they will only blossom if they offer gamers a variety of strategies or different levels of depth to explore. We hope all our games will have a very high Depth to Box Size Ratio.
