Welcome To TriMira Games
Below you'll find a catalog of original prototypes. Each board game I design has a simple goal: to make the familiar feel fresh again.
That means starting with rarely used mechanics, blending them with familiar ones, and wrapping it all in themes that spark curiosity.
Some of the prototypes are ready to pitch, others still in development, but all are built to stand out.
Feel free to explore the collection and reach out if something sparks your interest.

Ideas In Work
Below are collection of concepts in progress and future projects I’m excited to develop further.
Karma Inc.
Karma Inc. was the title of a short story I wrote and it's just too good of a name not to make into a game. I’m playing with the idea of a shared-action track where one player’s action along the track triggers actions for the other players. A variation off of Follow or maybe Rondel.
Planned Mechanics:
Follow (variation that other players are forced to play a different action)
Nullen
Basic idea for Nullen is a dreamscape dungeon crawl like game. I would like to use a Roll / Spin and Move mechanic because it's looked down upon in the gaming community and I wanted to see if I could make a solid, fun, and strategically satisfying game with this mechanic.
Planned Mechanics:
Roll / Spin and Move (variation where the dice are subtracted from each other)
Lines of Succession
Lines Of Succession has players draw out territories on a map to build their kingdom. Combining Area Control and Card Drafting with Line Drawing with variations of having multiple lines going at once feels like a nice combo to explore.
Planned Mechanics:
Crayon Rail System
Area Majority / Influence
Closed Drafting
