We're Matthias and Jan — two board game enthusiasts who refuse to settle for "good enough."
Matthias makes sure every game isn't just fun to play, but that the rules are crystal clear, fair, and elegantly written. His focus is on rulebooks and fine-tuning the mechanics.
Jan breathes life into our games. From the visual design of game boards to card artwork — he makes sure our games look as good as they play.
What guides us when we work on our games.
For us, the game grows out of the theme — not the other way around. The mechanics follow the story, never the reverse.
We develop all our games as a team. Every idea is vetted together, every decision made together.
"One Above" captures it perfectly — it's our promise that every game we make will be:
Always a bit more ambitious, a bit more refined, a bit more extraordinary than expected.
