A proud designer with his newly-published game!

Celebrating Swatch's release with The Ludoquist's owner, Nick Smith

Some of the designers in Croydon's playtest community

Minerva Tabletop Games is an independent board game publisher based in Croydon, London, and run by me, Scott Lowe-James.

My first game Swatch: the abstract game of art, funded on Kickstarter in 2020 and was released in 2022. Future games are in the works, including Crumbs! The Sandwich Filler Game, funded on Kickstarter in 2023 and due. for release in 2025, so check out our social media or sign up to our newsletter for more info.

I make simple to understand games with surprising depth and unique themes, and have fun doing it! I have a background in art and design and bring this to the games I design and publish, creating games with highly stylised and integrated aesthetic and gameplay.

I also run a design community based at The Ludoquist board game cafe in Croydon, meeting weekly to help designers playtest their games and offer a network to support their development.
