We are a board game publisher...
actually, so much more
Founded in 2009 by a small group of passionate players, Cranio Creations has grown into one of Italy's most beloved board game publishers. We design games that bring people together — from quick family nights to deep strategic marathons — always with an obsessive eye for graphic design and mechanics that surprise.
Three things we never compromise on
Design that speaks
A board on the table is a small piece of art. We obsess over illustration, typography and materials until the box itself tells you what kind of night you're in for.
Mechanics that surprise
We chase the moment a rule clicks and a table goes quiet with focus. That spark is worth more to us than following a trend.
Community first
From our Cranio Heroes to the shops that stock us, the people around our games are the reason we keep making them.
