TWK Designs

TWK Designs is a one-person, independent board game design studio founded and run by a designer whose passion lies in crafting immersive and strategic tabletop experiences. At the heart of TWK Designs is the belief that every action matters – every card played, die rolled, or cube placed contributes to an experience worth remembering and reliving.

History

TWK Designs was founded in September 2022 when the initial development of Elemantium began. Since then, the studio has completed the design of PlunderPaws, and is currently working on two additional designs.

Mission

The mission of TWK Designs is to provide players with an environment where they can forge new friendships through games that challenge the mind and turn every decision into an opportunity for connection, whether they choose to collaborate in good faith or stir up chaos.

Timothy W. Kühn

Founder of TWK Designs and a freelance board game designer based in Prague, Czech Republic.

“My passion for board game design stems from my love for competitive play, which took root in South Africa during my time in the local eSports scene, where strategy and split-second decisions meant the difference between victory and defeat. After relocating to Prague, I immersed myself in trading card games (Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Lorcana, Pokémon, and many more) dedicating countless hours in tournaments and local leagues.

Then, one day, as I walked along the river, listening to a D&D podcast, inspiration struck. What if I could take everything I loved about competitive play and transform it into something tangible? What if I could design games where the weight of each decision mattered, where players were truly challenged and forced to push the limits of their strategies?

Every card I design, every rule I craft, is dedicated to the players who seek meaning in their play, those who long for discovery and strive for mastery. My hope is for my designs to forge friendships through the spirit of competition.”
