Tableau Games: Collaborative Cinematic Storytelling

News: We’re excited to introduce the new Tableau: Accelerated Core ꩜ Rules 📜, a streamlined edition of our Collaborative Cinematic Storytelling system.

Tableau Games invites you to a collaborative, cinematic storytelling experience for 2-5 players ages 14 and up. Within a typical playtime of 2-3 hours, you’ll use engaging rule cards, story prompts, and inspirational imagery to craft narratives instead of merely playing a game. Each playset deck caters to various genre and theme combinations, requiring only index cards, paper sheets, markers, and an optional six-sided dice. Each session of Tableau ushers you into a new realm of creativity, where the potential for unforgettable tales is limitless. The best stories are the ones we tell together!

OLDER GAMES

Gate Watch: 1st Edition (2019)

The original 18-card version of Gate Watch, successfully Kickstarted in 2019.

Monster Smash: The Next Page (2001)

Where Play-Doh creatures grow fangs, legs, wings, tentacles, poison stings & more, and players compete for the right to smash them. My goal was to just to see how simple and elegant I could make a board game. All the rules, table of costs for the “monster parts,” a monster tracking sheet, and even the ruler needed for range attacks, all fit on a single sheet of paper.
