How it works

From prototype to production in three steps.

Design

Start from a component template, drop in your art and link your card data.

Check

Pick materials and let the print check catch bleed, colour and resolution issues.

Export

Download factory-ready files, or send them straight to a manufacturer for a quote.

Made by a studio that ships

We built the tool we needed.

Game Tribe designs and publishes its own games. Nataterra went from first prototype to a Kickstarter that raised three times its goal, a full print run, and players around the world. Every feature in the Studio comes from a step we had to do by hand.

Questions, answered.

Do I own my designs and files?

Yes. Everything you create and upload stays yours. You can download a complete backup of any game at any time.

Which manufacturers can I use?

Any. The Studio makes files at standard factory sizes for cards, tokens, boards, boxes and rulebooks, and you can lay a factory’s own template over your design to check it before you send anything.

Can my illustrator or team work in the same project?

Yes. Invite collaborators and illustrators, choose what each person can see, and leave comments pinned right on the cards. Illustrators you invite are always free.

When can I start?

Game Tribe Studio is in early access with a small group of designers. Join the waiting list and we’ll invite you as places open. Early access is free.
