From the Developer's Desk: Designing an Expansion Set For Lombard's Labyrinth
The Lost Isles When coming up with an idea for my board game sets, I take a lot into consideration. The feel and aesthetic of the cards, the story I want to tell, the characters and their designs, the items and how it will affect gameplay, and how everything fits together at the end. For this first expansion, I decided to tell the story of Roose, an explorer who discovers a way onto a mysterious island surrounded by an eternal fog. The island was always meant to have a lost-j

My Board Game Boss Will Be In a Video Game!
About a year ago, I was looking for artists to create artwork for all the cards in my board game. I was still missing many Champions and all 10 Bosses; I spent two weeks following accounts and looking for freelance artists, and I think I ended up following over 700 accounts by the end of those weeks. I would message each account that matched the vision I had for certain bosses or champions and ask if they were available for work. Many of my messages were ignored or were out o

Lombard's Labyrinth Box Art with the artist's MTG cards A cool little story about my board game is that while looking for an artist to draw my cover art, I came across Kevin's Instagram account randomly and saw he worked on some League of Legends stuff (I love League of Legends). He even drew one of my favorite MTG cards. I knew I needed to ask if he was interested in drawing the cover for my board game. I waited weeks to message him because I was worried he would say no or c

From the Developer's Desk: Real Artists Matter For My Board Game
The Original Lombard's Labyrinth 10 Champions I grew up playing Magic The Gathering and Pokémon, so when it came time to have art made for my board game, I knew I wanted to work with real artists. I wanted many to work on my game. Some people worried that using multiple artists might make the game feel less cohesive, but personally, I believe people gravitate toward different art styles. For me, when I pick a new commander in MTG, it’s often based on the artwork or even just
