We design and publish limited runs of games that blend historical and more unique themes.
About Us
What we do
We design our own games, board and card, publishing ourselves in the past, with some notable exceptions such as 'History of the World', 'Fire and Axe', 'Angola' and 'Steam Donkey'.
We are pleased to announce that Rio Grande Games and ourselves have combined to redesign History of the World with the new edition coming out before the end of December 2024. Details on the changes we have made to the game can be seen on the History of the World page on the site.
Who we are
Ragnar Brothers consists of three friends who ought to know better but can’t resist the urge to design board games. That’s Steve (middle) and Phil Kendall (right) and myself Gary Dicken (on the left). It all started in the early 1980′s when we gathered with our reprobate friends to recreate American Civil and Second World War battles with 25mm Airfix figures and large pieces of chip board painted green. Ah! the good old days when entire weekends would disappear in a heady mix of artificial cannon smoke and beer fumes. These days we stick to designing board-games and card games – we've been doing it for almost 40 years!.
