High Tide Studios
Games worth gathering around.
We make games that become stories — original tabletop experiences built for adventure, connection, and the experiences people are still telling after the game is over.
Our Games

Play bold. Plunder all.
A fast-moving pirate card game where fortunes turn quickly, treasure changes hands, and no lead is ever safe.

We believe the best games leave something behind.
Not pieces. Not points.
Stories.
The impossible comeback.
The terrible decision everyone saw coming.
The betrayal nobody has quite forgiven.
The joke that somehow becomes part of the family vocabulary.
That's what we design for.
High Tide Studios is an independent game studio creating approachable tabletop experiences built around interaction, adventure, and memorable moments. We're small by design, curious by nature, and deeply involved in every game we put our name on.
How We Work
Start With the Experience
Before mechanics, components, or rules, we ask what the table should feel like.
Make It Approachable
A great game shouldn't make someone earn the right to have fun. We work hard to make the first play intuitive without designing away the reasons to play again.
Make It Worth Keeping
We want to create the games that get pulled from the shelf again and again — worn edges, inside jokes and all.
The Lookout
Want to Shape What Comes Next?
Some of the most important work happens before a game ever reaches a box. We put our games in front of real players early, listen carefully, break things, rebuild them, and play again.
