Find new enemies. Playfully.
Rulefactory – the gamesmiths of St.Gallen
We are a crazy bunch of four, young-at-heart game enthusiasts from east Switzerland, who came together 2015 to found Rulefactory, after many, many entertaining game sessions.
What motivates us
Since founding the Rulefactory our passion for games has been growing to this day. Wether card or baord games, strategy or luck, team effort or everyone for themselves.
And there's one vision pushing us forward: Developing and publishing new, entertaining, unique games. Always with a keen eye on design. So that - thanks to Pierre - our games can stand out amongst all the overtly colourful, chaotic cards and boxes.
Where we want to go
After selling over 500,000 card games, we are still far from thinking about hanging up our hats. And so we work every spare second on developing new game concepts. In doing so, we want to show our diversity as a game publisher and continue to develop. Whether thanks to the support of modern technologies (generators), the collaboration with other game developers and ZHdK students or through cooperative projects with people outside the gaming world.
But we are craving a bit more than that! After our first board game we are now working on our first family game. And a new Frantic product also awaits us in 2025: The Frantic boardgame!
And who knows, if everything goes according to plan, we might finally end up finally realizing our lifelong dream since founding Rulefactory: Our own jar of jam!
