Meet the Designers
One of BasGame's primary goals is to find, invite, and showcase the people and companies behind the creation of great new games that could easily become your favorites.
Throughout the entire event, we will be hosting brilliant game designers and publishers who are eager to share their latest prototypes and upcoming releases with you. This is a unique opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process, provide feedback, and even influence the development of future board games.
We make a special effort to collaborate with Swiss game designers and publishers. Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of meeting many talented creators, not only from Switzerland but also from around the world. Our hope is that BasGame has become a platform where they can showcase their games and connect with even more board gamers.

Game Design at ZHdK
In Game Design at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), between 7 and 10 new board games are developed each year. First, rules and concepts are analyzed and the mechanics are questioned. In teams of two, students then develop their own board game, test and refine it, and design a playable prototype.
Treecer
Operating since 2018, Treecer GmbH is active in the diverse field of board games and other print products under the brand “Treeceratops”. Our ambition is to bring products to the market that are creative, unique, and clearly stand out from the rest. To go new ways and to deliver perfect quality is a guiding principle at Treeceratops.
Lamalandstudios
Lamalandstudios is the name of the two game design alumni, Dodo & Mely. They are based in Winterthur and sometimes in the summer at the Töss.
They have been busy producing their first board game "BADGER" for almost a year now. Everything is handmade and made from sustainable materials, of course.
Spielpraxis
The creative studio Spielpraxis in Bern's Münstergasse, develops games, illustrates pictures, and creates songs and audiobooks. The board game HEROPOLIS (their debut) is to be realized this year with a crowdfunding campaign. The easily accessible, yet strategic, building and role-playing game is aimed at frequent players and comes with a heavy dose of humor.
