Islet
2tomatoes Games, 2023.
In Islet, you embody tropical birds seeking to nest on a small islet in the middle of the ocean. During the game you will collectively explore the islet to collect materials, while competing to create the best nests to spawn, thus guaranteeing the continuity of your species. On each of your turns you choose to either explore the islet to receive resources, or position yourself to create the perfect nests in which to spawn your precious eggs.
This way, together – as much as against one another – you’ll build a tropical islet with its different biomes, and whoever spawns all their eggs on the islet first will be the winner.

Melodies
Next Move Games, 2026.
Melodies is a cooperative card game in which players form a band and complete songs by playing cards from their hand.
Each turn, every player plays one or more cards or passes. The most played value becomes the Melody for that note and must follow the song’s progression. A song is completed only when all notes are played correctly and all players have emptied their hands.
Communication is limited: the group can discuss strategy but never reveal their cards or intended actions.
From Mom’s Garage to the biggest stages, each new venue introduce new rules, instruments, audience members and challenges that reshape the way the group plays together.
