Flatout Games

Flatout Games is a board game design collaborative founded in 2017 by members Molly Johnson, Robert Melvin, and Shawn Stankewich. We are focused on creating innovative and elegant game experiences. We love puzzly games with simple rules, high replayability, and great tension and decision-making, typically with low-luck, high-skill euro-style mechanisms. Players’ options and decisions should be complex, rules should not be. We love products that have a light footprint, are immaculately detailed, are designed with clarity, simplicity, and elegance at the forefront.

Flatout Games specialize in light-to-medium weight strategy games that emphasize clever mechanics, accessibility, and fun for all types of players. Flatout Games gained popularity with titles like Cascadia and Calico, which feature unique puzzles, engaging gameplay, and stunning artwork.
