GAMBIT
Gambit is a free-to-play, co-op cross-platform strategy game that brings the worlds of tabletop gaming into a new digital shared universe. It’s where fans of iconic modern board games team up to play as unique, asymmetrical factions to take the fight to the Obsidian King and “Chess” his army, featuring mechanics inspired by tabletop games. Gambit is a completely new way for fans to collect, collaborate, and connect.
Launch Timeline:
Kickstarter target launch: July 15 2025
Mobile/PC Release: 2026
THE STORY
On a stormy night in a basement filled with beloved board games, a mischievous cat triggered a chain reaction that sent game boxes flying—unleashing a magical surge as an ancient chess piece struck a mysterious board. In that instant, the worlds of modern tabletop games were pulled into a strange new realm known as Gambit—a stark, monochromatic dimension ruled by the rigid laws of Chess. Here, vibrant factions from across the tabletop universe awaken, stripped of clarity and purpose, their identities fractured. To stand against the Obsidian King and his suffocating order, they must relearn who they are, harness their powers, and fight to reclaim creativity from tradition. Read more here.

ABOUT OUR TEAM
The team behind Gambit is made up of lifelong tabletop nerds, AAA tabletop and video game veterans, and F2P world-builders. We’ve worked on everything from Tomb Raider to Magic: The Gathering to Lorcana — and now we’re bringing that experience together to build a digital platform that feels like it was made by fans, for fans. No pay-to-win, no corporate weirdness — just strategy, co-op, and a whole lot of love for collecting cool stuff.
Want to speak with the team!? Our game director Tyler Masterson and lead gameplay designer Sean “Fletch” Fletcher are both available for interviews!

FEATURED MEDIA
Gambit has been featured on top creator channels such as Good Morning Society, Grant’s Game Recs, and Board Games Dani.
The game turned heads on Good Morning Society, where hosts Becca Scott and Ruel Gaviola, two beloved voices in the board game community, couldn't help but exclaim, “I can't wait for this!”—praising the game’s unique co-op, cross-platform vision and expressing excitement for the inclusion of their iconic mascot Lil Freak.
Meanwhile, Grant’s Game Recs gave us a shoutout on his short-and-funny YouTube and social content, “A video game about board games?! We’ve never seen this before…and I’m hoping it can help bring some new people to tabletop gaming!”
And on social media, Dani Standring (aka Board Games Dani) lit up our feeds with infectious enthusiasm—calling Gambit “a strategy game I can put in my pocket,” wearing her trademark excitement, and even referencing her “milk jug trophy” cameo with irrepressible charm.
