FryxGames is a Swedish indie board game studio and publisher rooted in deep family collaboration and a lifelong passion for gaming. Founded in 2011 by siblings from the large Fryxelius family — initially Jacob, Enoch, Daniel, and Jonathan — the company grew out of a shared hobby of creating and playing homemade games around the kitchen table, eventually becoming a full‑time family business designing and producing its own games.

Based in Karlstad, Sweden, FryxGames operates as a family‑run studio where most of the members of the Fryxelius clan contribute to all phases of game creation — from design and playtesting to illustration, graphic design, production, and business management. Their vision centers on fostering inclusive, enjoyable shared experiences at the board game table, with a focus on quality design, creativity, and community engagement.

The studio is best known internationally for publishing Terraforming Mars, one of the world’s most acclaimed modern board games, which has sold hundreds of thousands of copies globally and spawned numerous expansions. Beyond that flagship title, FryxGames produces a varied catalogue of board and card games — both original designs and expansions — and even hosts its own FryxCon board game convention in Karlstad, celebrating play and community.

Today FryxGames continues to grow while staying true to its family‑centric roots, creating games that encourage connection, strategy, and shared stories around the table.
