Around the World in 10-15 Minutes

Phileas Fogg and Jean Passepartout needed 80 days in the classic novel, but you’ll only need 10-15 minutes.

Travel the world, explore cities, and collect souvenirs in this 1-6 player print-at-home game. Around the World in 10-15 Minutes fits on one sheet per player, can be taught in less than five minutes, and is fully played in 10-15 minutes. You’re all travelers out to explore the world. Each turn, one player is the Navigator, who chooses one of three actions that all players must take. Each player always has an interesting decision, whether you’re the Navigator or a Follower. Lots of strategies and counter-strategies that unfolds atop a fun, light travel theme.

Expect Around the World in 10-15 Minutes to hit Kickstarter in April 2024.

Dragon vs. Castle

Backers of Beards & Booty got to choose the theme of this game!

No Box Games’ second title of 2024 is a one-vs.-all play-and-pass game where you are helping to build a castle on most sheets, and a dragon hoping to burn it all down on one of them. In this play-and-pass game, players draw walls and towers to build up the castle and score points. As the dragon, move and attack the castles built by other players to score points, but watch out for attacks. When you’re done with your turn, pass your sheet clockwise. Asymmetric play leads to plenty of unique player decisions and different incentives.

The game will go live on Kickstarter July of 2024.

Untitled Campaign Game

Set in a post-apocalyptic winter, No Box Games’ final project for 2024 will be a campaign-style game where your progress in one chapter determines what happens in the next chapter. In this 30 minute per chapter choose-a-path style game, players can expect a story-driven campaign that’s still easy to learn and approachable by casual players. This project is still in early development in terms of theme and mechanisms, so be on the lookout for more updates throughout the year.

The project will launch via Kickstarter campaign in Fall 2024.
