We have previously operated under the name Overworld Games, but have changed our name to PULL THE PIN GAMES in October 2019 to focus on games that are super easy to learn, even for non-gamers, but with deeper strategic options that keep veterans coming back over and over again. Our games support a large number of players and that, along with their approachability, make them super easy to get them to the table. Co-founders Brian Henk and Clayton Skancke have worked together for over 10 years on digital games before transitioning to tabletop games in 2012. They publish games that have simple rules but deep strategy, are quick to play, and have heavy social interaction. Brian is also a co-host of the Board Game Business Podcast, which is a discussion of the business side of the tabletop game industry.
