Plaid Hat Games LLC is a hobby gaming company founded by game designer Colby Dauch. We are new to the scene, but we are coming out swinging with the release of our very first game - Summoner Wars. Our goal as a game company is simple: Make games that you will love to play. And by you we mean those of you who play games to have FUN, to ENGAGE others, and to CHALLENGE yourself. (If you are one of those dreadfully boring types that hate the sound of dice rolling across a table and prefer their games to only come in shades of brown, we´re probably not what you are looking for.) So how will we achieve our goal of making games that you love to play? Well, I´m glad I asked that question. We have a formula, and I´d like to share it with you. This is our simplified list of what we feel is required to make a great game.


A Great Game:

1. Is fun
2. Creates an opportunity for you to make interesting, engaging, and challenging decisions that affect the outcome of the game in your favor
3. Allows you to directly engage the other players at the table
4. Is thematic (Games should tell stories. They should draw their players into exciting worlds and put them in adventurous roles)
5. Is unique
6. Is pretty (And by pretty, we mean they should look frickin´ sweet! You know, like something you´d want to play)

Colby Dauch is plagued with an extreme case of Attention Deficit Disorder and he has been using that excuse as a crutch for his entire life. Colby drinks way too much Dr. Pepper, he´s overly critical of his closest friends, he wears a red and black plaid hat for God only knows why, and he absolutely LOVES games! Colby is a fresh-faced young game designer, but this isn´t his first rodeo. He got his game designing chops working as a freelance game designer and writer for the mega-ultra-huge game companies - Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast, where he worked on such popular titles as Heroscape: The Battle of All Time, and a few other amazing games that he wishes he could say more about (check back later when the gag order has been lifted).


Summoner Wars is a card game. And I know what you are thinking. You´re thinking: ´Here we go, another copy-cat, blind-purchase, money-sink, card game.´ Or maybe you are thinking: ´This could be an interesting diversion, but many card games don´t have much meat on their bones.´ Or you are thinking: ´Why the flip does this guy think he knows what I´m thinking?´ Either way, Summoner Wars is not your typical card game. Summoner Wars is expandable, but it´s not blind-purchase. When you buy Summoner Wars cards, you always know exactly what you are buying. We don´t want you to throw your money away trying to get an ultra-rare card any more than you do. And it´s not a clone of seven other collectible card games that you already own, or have heard all about. Summoner Wars is a unique experience, full of exciting tactical battling game play. You aren´t going to find a rehash of other card games here. Intrigued? Learn more about Summoner Wars Here.
