Our Story

Big W Games is an independent tabletop studio founded by a young family with a shared passion for board games and kids' education.

My name is Billy Lin, and I co-designed these games alongside my two sons. They are the creative engines behind Big W Games—providing the core inspiration and drawing the original artwork for our titles! What started as simple, imaginative doodles at our table eventually culminated into a series of characters, grew into a school class project, and was finally refined into the fully playable games you see today.

Our goal is to create games that are approachable for kids, yet deeply engaging for adults. Through extensive playtesting with our local community, we've fine-tuned our rules to ensure that every box we ship hits that perfect "easy to start, fun to master" sweet spot.

What Our Playtesters Are Saying

"We took a copy home after playtesting and literally couldn't stop playing it all weekend. The kids are obsessed!"

— A very tired (but happy) parent

"It perfectly balances strategy with quick turns. Even the adults at the table were getting highly competitive."

— Local Tabletop Gamer

"I got the first copy? You guys have to sign it! This is going to get as big as Catan, and I'm gonna sell it for a fortune!"

— Uncle Tim
