the rise of the potato
In 2013, three friends from London pack in their sensible jobs to start a board game company. Over the next ten years they grow from three human potatoes to forty-five, from one game to over one hundred, and take root in thirty-five countries around the world.
Along the way they embark on a series of adventures. Launching the world’s first board game vending machine. Patenting MOOP® technology, turning reclaimed ocean plastic into game cards. Bringing board games to festivals, to work dos with our Hosted Game Nights, and to schools with The Big Inventor Challenge. They are also one of the first companies in the UK to adopt a four-day working week, making Thursday the new Friday.
And in 2023 they finally grow up and get themselves a proper CEO called Spudley.
