About Designerspiele
Designerspiele uses the reach of the internet without losing the personal experience of making and playing: original PDF templates that you print and bring to life at home.
The idea
Designerspiele® is where we publish our own board games, paper models and printable craft templates. A digital download and a home printer take the place of manufacturing, retail, shipping and storage.
Every product is developed specifically for Designerspiele and is available only here. We create projects we would enjoy making, giving or playing ourselves — with clear stages, thoughtful details and the aim of turning a few sheets of paper into something memorable.
For you, that means an immediately available PDF, no parcel to wait for and an idea that feels more personal than an off-the-shelf product.

Passion
Author and designer
Images and ideas for games have been part of my life for more than 20 years.
I am still fascinated by the way a first sketch grows into a designed world and comes to life when people play together.
For me, few things are as exciting and alive as developing a game. I will always return to it.
Making beautiful things
Design and production
The world is full of wonderful things. Preserving some of the unbounded joy we experience in childhood is an art in itself.
My dream is to be the magician who passes on a little of that art.
Creating beautiful things is what gives my work meaning.
Shared enjoyment
It begins with cutting pieces around a table, laughing at a design, or presenting a money gift that suddenly looks thoughtful and considered.
That is what we design for: the enjoyment built into each template should travel from our screen to your paper and from there into time spent together.
A small moment of joy
Choose a template, print it and turn it into a gift, game or craft project that feels genuinely personal.
