Our Mission
Our Mission
Elucidate (verb): To make clear; Explain
Elucidate (verb): To make clear; Explain
At Elucidate Games, we aim to elucidate complex game mechanics. One of our primary focuses is creating Quick Start Guides (QSGs) for complicated games. These generally gear towards players who prefer a "learn through playing" approach to new games. While this will be the pinnacle of our content, you can expect to also find some strategic deep dives and details on new titles we are designing sprinkled in with the QSGs.
Game Design
Game Design
Elucidate Games (EG) will focus on designing games that take a "Logic Over Luck" approach. While it is impossible to completely eliminate luck, we will mitigate it in any way we can for our games.
Through our design and testing processes we will strive to eliminate unnecessary complexities, and constantly work towards gameplay that is both simple and strategic.
EG will be continually designing and self publishing games as they are finalized.
For the latest information on the state of each of our games, check out our games page.
To get insider updates and maybe even get involved in the design process check out the information under our "Community" section.
Quick Start Guides
Quick Start Guides
Our Quick Start Guides are designed to get gamers to the table and experiencing the game as quick as possible. In each quick start guide we focus primarily on 3 things. 1. The setup, 2. The core loop, or central mechanic, and 3. Some optimal first moves to get you started.
Head on over to our Youtube page and see if there are any games you've been wanting to learn, or perhaps you'll find a good video for a game that you hate teaching (cough)7 Wonders(cough).
We'd love your feedback on which videos you'd like us to prioritize, so if you have a game you'd like a QSG made for please let us know.
