Ten Maniacs
I design, write, publish, and manufacture my own games. And that’s why I lost my mind.

Come my friend, learn about the sacred lands of Grundavell. The soil is rich and the land is bountiful. We need your guidance as we help our village grow. We need your insight to solve the ancient mysterious ciphers and unlock the true wealth of the land.
Gather resources, design your village, and plan your strategy to gather, build, dominate the sacred lands of Grundavell. In this riveting, deeply strategic resource gathering game, simple and easy-to-learn actions yield deep tactical gameplay.
Senator, here is your hidden political agenda, fresh from your constituents. Do all you can to accomplish the key points. You must decide which ones they are! Above all, do not let the other Senators accomplish their designs!
In Politics! players act as powerful senators vying for influence and attempting to accomplish different and conflicting political agendas. Strike deals, backstab, frontstab, and do everything you can to execute your agenda and stop your rivals from accomplish theirs. This is a game of reading people, dealmaking, and grudges that last lifetimes.
Here is the Similarities challenge: know thy language. You may think you know the meaning of words, but do you really?
This simple word game with a twist will test your knowledge of the English language like none other. List as many synonyms as you can in the time allotted for a target word. Or take a risk for more points and list a single antonym. Either way, the winner is the unquestioned master of the English language.
A bunch of lunatics making games.
We love games and firmly believe that a game is never complete. Our design process is iterative, incorporating further internal ideas and player feedback to enhance gameplay, art, and mechanics.
Our obsessive nature ensures that we will never again retain a firm grasp on reality.
Have game ideas? We publish player games.
