Philosophy of Banana Joe Games

Banana Joe Games

Banana Joe Games is a design studio based in Milan.

We focus on exploring the intersection between art, design, and gameplay, to no longer perceive board games as content inside a box but as playable design objects capable of creating worlds people can dive into.

Our projects are connected to one another: from arena brawlers to dungeon crawlers, from TTRPGs to card games. What drives them is the same research into engagement, accessibility, longevity, and aesthetic.

We strongly believe in an interdisciplinary approach to bring value to our work. Each game is designed internally, from mechanics to physical concept, form, and components, and developed with artists we trust, who bring the visual language into the same conversation.

People have always played. Long before us, and long after.

Be you. Replay.
