RULE 1 GAMES

The founders of Rule 1 Games spent a decade refining a patchwork, home-grown board game. After promising alpha tests, they needed a creative team that could give their passion project a worthy identity.

Over my three years on the project (and counting), my contributions have stretched well beyond a name and story concept. I’ve written dozens of new cards, revised game mechanics, and generally done my best to wrangle an absurd fictional universe.

A final round of playtests is currently underway; in early 2025, Space-Off should undergo launch status check and make its Kickstarter debut!

I’m also behind all the copy on the Space-Off website.

 

The front page of the rulebook teases the game’s mechanics with a story.

Every “Trial Card” is a self-contained mini game. I’ve included two examples from each category.
