To create narrative led games that provide robust, challenging, and fun experiences for seasoned gamers and newcomers alike.

Proudly based in Brisbane on the lands of the Jagera and Turrbal people, Knifedge Games makes board games that are passionately designed, rigorously playtested and considerate of all players who come to the table.

Like most new ventures of recent years, this all began during the pandemic of 2020. During lockdown I found myself with newly discovered free time which I quickly filled with several goals; first I re-played all the Uncharted games on Playstation, then I ensured my island on Animal Crossing: New Horizons was exactly the way I wanted it, and finally I was adamant that I’d keep up with all 3 of my campaigns in Dungeons and Dragons via Zoom. It was all going very well … until I had an idea … I was going to make a board game. 

Suddenly my newly discovered free time was gone, I abandoned my Uncharted playthrough midway through Golden Abyss, the upkeep of my Animal Crossing island went down the drain, and … well I managed to keep playing DnD. But I soon found myself spending every free moment, sitting at my kitchen table, making the first versions of We Forlorn Few by hand with whatever materials I could get my hands on.

My idea and my new hobby had spiraled out of control, and after two years of playtesting, adjustments, endless updates, and countless deadends, I decided to start a business. 

This has been one of the most incredible and fulfilling journeys of my life … and it’s only the beginning.
