Our mission is to make great games accessible to anyone, anywhere, using familiar components and clever design. We're always excited to collaborate with new designers who share that vision. **What we're currently looking for:** - A social deduction game: something fresh, tense, and replayable within a standard 52-card deck. - An interactive 2-player competitive game: not a direct battler or duelling game, and not puzzle-based. Think tactical, surprising, and full of player interaction. We welcome submissions that show creative use of a standard deck, strong thematic hooks, and elegant simplicity in rules. Your game may not include any dice or other attributes, apart from a scorecard. **Submission guidelines** — Send submissions to robin@foursuitstudio.com with the subject line "Game Submission – [Your Game Title]". Include: - Pitch video (5 minutes or less) — a link (YouTube, Vimeo, or your own site) to a short elevator pitch. - Rules document — a link (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) to a complete rulebook someone can learn from independently. - Game description — title, player count, estimated play time, recommended ages (if applicable), and a short description of gameplay and theme. - Contact information — full name, location, and preferred email. **Additional restrictions:** Designs must be original and not infringe existing IP; submissions must not already be publicly available through retail, print-on-demand, or other publishers; designers must be 18 or older; all designs remain the IP of their creators. **For Localisation Partners** — Four Suit Studio is actively building relationships with international publishers interested in bringing our games to local audiences. Publishers interested in localisation or distribution for titles such as River Rats or Stamp Showdown can contact robin@foursuitstudio.com with company information and the regions covered.
