We build games worth gathering around.
Quserano is a tabletop-first studio in the Jewellery Quarter designing board games, card games and their digital adaptations — from first prototype to shelf-ready box.
Every good game starts with a bad prototype.
I started Quserano in 2016 on a folding table above a workshop on Caroline Street, cutting cardboard tokens with a craft knife and testing rules with anyone who'd sit down for twenty minutes. Ten years later the craft knife is still in the drawer — we just have a proper playtest lab now.
We are eleven designers, illustrators and engineers who believe a game is only finished when strangers can learn it in five minutes and argue about it for two hours. Whether you're a first-time inventor with a spark of an idea or a publisher who needs a digital port done right, we treat your table like ours.

People who trusted us with their table.
Quserano took my messy binder of rules and turned it into a game my publisher greenlit in one meeting. Their playtest notes alone were worth the fee.
