Four team members develop all the games at the Squirrel.
Magnetic Squirrel is an independent game studio based in Kamloops, British Columbia, built on a simple belief: board games bring people together and create memories that last. We design, test, and publish tabletop and collectible card games — from the hockey-fueled action of Breakaway to the dungeon-crawling of High Fantasy — and we love pairing the thrill of collecting with games that are genuinely fun to play. Breakaway is just the first title in a long line of ideas, including our brand-new Cubed3 system, that we can't wait to share with the gaming community.

Tawd leads the charge at Magnetic Squirrel as the studio's founder and team lead. A lifelong gamer with a philosophy background and a knack for dreaming up new mechanics, he's the driving force behind titles like Breakaway, High Fantasy, and the Cubed3 system — always chasing that next idea that hasn't been done before.

Adam is one of the studio's main developers, helping shape and refine the games from first prototype to finished product. He's a key part of the design and playtesting engine that keeps Magnetic Squirrel's titles sharp.

Steve is a main developer at the Squirrel, lending his design instincts and relentless playtesting to every project on the table. If a rule needs pressure-testing, Steve's the one putting it through its paces.

Walter rounds out the development team, bringing hands-on design and testing muscle to the studio's growing lineup. He's often the first to crack open a new production box — and the first to find what needs fixing.
