Independent tabletop studio
Fitz&Pop's Tabletops is an independent board game studio — built by two. Every game we make stays a work-in-progress, refined by playtests, feedback and a community that plays alongside us.
Meet the studio
A designer and an art director building tabletop games with humour, heart and surprising depth.
Game Designer
Your board game mechanisms mixologist — give him worker placement, engine building and area control and he'll shake them into something surprisingly fresh, prototyping at speed to find the "aha!" moments that keep players coming back.
Art Director
Who needs AI when you have this guy? Every illustration is crafted by hand — no algorithms, no shortcuts, just pure creative vision and genuine human artistry. Follow his work →
Our philosophy
Our games are packed with humour and quirky characters — they'll make you laugh while you strategise. Don't let the fun looks fool you.
The best games combine accessible fun with surprising depth. Why play it safe when you can play it spectacular?
The Krystalia universe
Krafting Krowns is the heart of Krystalia — a realm full of real characters, each with a story of their own. A few have even stepped out of the box into games of their own.
The characters of Krystalia
The parent game
Launched as a Pocket Edition at SPIEL Essen 2025 — the world's largest board game fair — and now being reborn as a full edition, available to pre-pledge on Kickstarter.
A strategic card & dice game where eight-sided dice do double duty: gather with them, then kraft them into Power Krystals and claim the Krown of Krystalia.
The Fitz&Pop's Arcade
A digital playground where our board games — and yours — get played thousands of times over by AI, in minutes. The industry's biggest bottleneck, compressed into an afternoon.
AI plays full games at scale — a year's worth of structured playtest data before lunch.
Balance, win-rates, dominant lines and the cards nobody plays — evidence to fix a game before you print.
The model runs on our own hardware. Your unpublished game never leaves it.
