The story behind the family board game

We created the family board game to solve a simple problem: bring every generation to the same table without complicated rules or long sessions. After dozens of living-room playtests, we found the sweet spot—quick turns, cooperative twists, and light strategy that rewards creativity over encyclopedic knowledge.

Every component is built for repeat play: durable cards that shuffle cleanly, a board with clear iconography for kids, and a timer that turns simple tasks into laugh-out-loud moments. The result is a tradition-in-a-box that makes screen-free nights easy.
