Why Choose Us
Albatross Games is the home of Melbourne-based board game designer, Isaac Field. As someone whose childhood was shaped by board games, Eureka is his chance to give back to the community that grew him. It's a game over a decade in the making, and we hope that the love poured into it over this time can shine through and bring joy to many more families.
About Eureka
Eureka started out in Isaac's family home, made from cardboard pieces and components scavenged from other board games. As a 10 year old at the time, he had no idea that this idea would grow over the next 17 years to become what it is today.
The game is a far cry from what it started out as. The original idea was for a mine-shaft combat based game, though over time it became clear that it was naturally more suited to the resource management style it eventually became.
The 17 years saw hundreds of hours playing with friends and family, with natural ebbs and flows to the game development as other life commitments came and went. In the end, Isaac opted for simplicity, cutting many of the complex rules to leave what he believes is a streamlined and yet tactically rewarding game.
It's been a joy developing this game over the years, and we hope that you can experience that too.
