Fantasy Worlds, Real Results

Why Games?

“Look but don’t touch” are the most heartbreaking words to a curious mind. Children are born scientists. They break stuff in the name of discovery. They rebel in the name of boredom. They test boundaries to learn rules. You can’t reach students who feel handcuffed. We say, give them the keys to their own education.
Tabletop games have undergone a renaissance in the last decade. Modern games are designed to reach a wider demographic and access a greater range of emotions and experiences. At the same time, research increasingly shows how effective they are as educational tools. 
Games are elegant, dynamic puzzles for your senses. Look at all those bits and colors and shapes and textures. Don’t you just want to fiddle with them? Tinker with them? Slide and roll and admire them? They look downright edible. Like brain candy.

We want to bring the beauty, delight and novelty of these games to kids, especially those less fortunate who wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to something so niche and geeky.
