PLAID HAT GAMES - HISTORY
Plaid Hat Games is an American board game studio, founded in 2009. The company was created by Colby Dauch, who started Plaid Hat Games to publish his designs for Summoner Wars. Dauch reinvested the money from this project into the games and contributions of people who he believed in, thus allowing the Plaid Hat Games brand to grow. Since then, the publisher have releases some board gaming classics, including Mice & Mystics and the award-winning Dead of Winter series. The base game in this series won two categories at the 2014 Golden Geek Awards. In 2015, Plaid Hat Games was acquired by F2Z Entertainment and is now a part of the ever-growing Asmodee Group. Their latest release is the first entry in their storytelling series: Stuffed Fables.
PLAID HAT GAMES - LIBRARY
Some of our most popular board games have come from Plaid Hat Games. The game series that they are perhaps most known for is Dead of Winter. Designed by Isaac Vegra and Jon Gilmour, Dead of Winter is known as a crossroads game. Players work together towards a common victory condition, however each player also has a secret condition which they must complete to win. Another acclaimed game from Plaid Hat Games is SeaFall. This is a legacy game which was designed by Rob Daviau, which means the board, cards and rules will be changed as players progress through their campaign. Other favourites from the publisher include the Summoner Wars series, Mice & Mystics and Spectre Ops. The company have just launched their storytelling series with Stuffed Fables.

PLAID HAT GAMES - THEIR VISION
According to their official website, Plaid Hat Games suggest that the following points make a great board game:
- A great game is fun.
- A great game creates opportunity for you to make interesting, engaging and challenging decisions that affect the outcome of the game in your favour.
- A great game allows you to directly engage the other players at the table.
- A great game is thematic - "It is our belief that games should tell stories. They should draw players into their exciting worlds and put them in adventurous roles."
- A great game is unique - "We realise that unique might be in the eye of the beholder, but we like to believe that we are bringing something fresh to the table with each of our games.
- A great game is pretty - "And by pretty, we mean it should look like something that excites you and makes you want to play it."
