Surprised Stare Games
Surprised Stare Games is the brainchild of two game designers: Tony Boydell and Alan Paull. With track records going back a couple of decades, they set up Surprised Stare Games in 1999 to publish their own games from their base in Gloucestershire.
They made a good start with their first publication, Bloody Legacy, which was great fun. Since then, Surprised Stare has produced a fine mixture of entertaining and strategic games, including the brilliant Snowdonia. Find out more on the Surprised Stare Games website.
