How do you say “aesc”?
Aesc, pronounced “ash”, is a typographic ligature that joins an “a” and “e” character along a shared stem. We believe a great game should work similarly by bringing together thematics, mechanics, and aesthetics into a unique and harmonious play experience. The elegant curves and interlocking lines of our logomark abstractly depict people brought together around an amazing game.
Committed to excellence
We’ve got mountain-high standards around here.
Long-lasting design
We work with well-established and responsible vendors to produce high-quality game materials and components that are built to last through countless gameplays and on your shelf for years to come.
Reusability and recyclability
If your journey with one of our titles comes to an end, donate it! Your local second-hand shops, schools, and board game guilds would probably love to take it off your hands.
Mindful design
We despise wasted space and extraneous materials. We meticulously design our game components to limit waste. During all phases of development, production, and manufacturing, we tirelessly seek new efficiencies to benefit everyone.
