About us
We are an independent publisher of card games based in Brighton.
All our decks are printed in the UK and no AI will ever be involved in creating them. We have a small team designing, testing and making them. Each deck is hand-signed by the artist (Chris Riddell).

Our new storytelling deck comes with a little set of instructions to get you started. Here they are – along with a couple of small crowds to get you started.
- CROWDS for pre-order!
We made a new storytelling deck: CROWDS! The idea is simple: what a storyteller needs is an audience. A good crowd gives you inspiration. You can look at them and guess what they will find exciting. You can ask them for suggestions, and if you’re brave enough invite them to take on a part. Pre-order your deck now – we can’t wait to hear what you’ll do with them!
