MiniSkull Games is a series of small-box (minuscule) games that feature unique mechanics, interesting decisions, 60 minutes or less play time, and a shared theme and setting. MiniSkull games feature fantasy adventure, quests, dungeon crawls, and combat. Games are set in The Kingdom of Petitia, around the town of Port Tiny, the haunted MiniSkull Castle, and the lands around MiniSkull Mountain.
Games are currently in various stages of ongoing development.

Les Petits Pirates could easily be rebranded MiniSkull Pirates - A mini sized action selection, dice manipulation pirate game. Features a very small footprint (maps can be as small as a postcard), lots of player interaction, and asynchronous action resolution. Plunder, attack, and sail the seas and be the first to bury enough treasure to enjoy a decadent pirate retirement!
Polyhedral Perils is part of my Polyhedral Series, but is set in The Kingdome of Petitia. Polyhedal Perils is a micro press-your-luck game for 1 or more players that only requires a set of polyhedral dice and something to keep score with. In Polyhedral Perils you and any other number of players are heroes whose hobby is exploring dungeons, battling the monsters who dwell there, and bragging about your exploits. But who is the greatest hero? You decide to hold a competition to determine, once and for all, who the greatest hero is, if you can survive that is. The Champion's Journey expansion features a map of The Kingdom of Petitia that you can adventure through in a quest to defeat the evil Demgop at MiniSkull Castle. The Champion's Journey is a solo campaign game version of Polyhedral Perils.
MiniSkull Castle - Heroes explore MiniSkull Castle, searching for loot in the castle rooms while being chased by monsters. Unique dice allocation mechanics provide interesting decisions. The game is competitive while also offering opportunities to cooperate. A solo mode provides an exciting experience.

MiniSkull Dungeons - Roll & Write your way through the MiniSkull Dungeons, collecting gold,
treasure, weapons, and more. You’ll control both a Hero and Monster on every player’s turn, while other Heroes and Monsters also roam the dungeons. Hidden movement means you’ll never know where the other characters are, until a Reveal spell is cast. Then you better hope you’re not where the Monsters are!

MiniSkull Crews - (Formerly Heroes & Rogues, Out for Gold) A micro action-selection and set-collection game with a bit of deduction. Compete to create a team of adventurers by choosing actions from character cards on the table. Exchange one character from your hand with one on the table, taking the action of the newly acquired character. The object is to build a team of characters with the same Elemental Affinity (color) and/or Race (symbol or suit) in your hand.

valuable gems while avoiding Tiny, the guard dragon.
