Alya & Tim Abbott Game Designs

Who we are

We design family-friendly games — our ideal game is fun for our young kids and our hobby board gamer friends. We think a lot about:

  • How the game will support a positive atmosphere at the table, even when there are take-that elements.
  • Accessibility and quick teaches alongside satisfying strategic and/or tactical decisions.
  • How to make victory feel within everyone’s reach throughout the game.
  • Novel, clean mechanics.

We’re jaw-fully sorry, but our pizzeria's owner Signor Squalo likes to snatch pizza from the players. You’ll need to upgrade the cards in your deck, and use them to grab pizza slices and anchovies from the kitchen (or from other players!). Be the first to get 4 pizzas onto your tray to win!
