about us
Caltrop Games is a new board game developer from the UK. Started by a group of friends, we aim to make board games that are fun, engaging and intuitive to play. We all come from a range of professional backgrounds but are united by one idea... take over the world. Alternatively, we love the connecting power of boardgames and wanted to share some of the ideas we’ve had with the community that we love so much.
