Tabletop games
worth gathering
for.
Italian Dragon Games (DBA ID Games) is an independent tabletop game publisher building games designed to pull people away from their screens and around a table.
Presence is becoming
a kind of luxury.
We live in a world that pulls our attention in a thousand directions at once. Endless feeds, glowing screens, conversations that seem to happen everywhere except across a table.
And yet, more and more, we feel a quiet pull in the other direction: a longing for something slower, warmer, and more real. The kind of evening where the phones go down, the snacks come out, and the people you love most are right there in the room with you.
We believe that presence is becoming a kind of luxury, and that in-person play is one of the simplest, most joyful ways to reclaim it.
That's why we make tabletop games. Tabletop games are a timeless invitation to gather — to laugh, to scheme, to celebrate a lucky roll, to lose gracefully and play again.
What matters most isn't who wins. It's who's around the table.
(Though if you do win, a little gloating is permitted.)
Built from first principles.
We design every game by asking what really makes one come alive. Three things, again and again, until the answers feel right.
Strategy meets luck
A game shouldn't be solved on turn three, but the dice should still surprise you. We design for the sweet spot in between.
Decisions that matter
Every choice on your turn should feel real. No wasted moves, no obvious "best" play, no autopilot.
Fair to the final turn
Nobody should feel out of it by the midgame. We design so everyone's still playing, not just watching.
