About Us
We believe a game is more than a set of rules.
It’s a system, a story, and a shared experience around the table.
Hausrule is a board game publishing company focused on strategy-driven, story-rich games where decisions matter and players are trusted to think. We design experiences that reward planning, risk-taking, and meaningful choices — not luck.
Our games are built around strong mechanics, thematic depth, and systems that react to the players’ actions. Every rule exists for a reason, and every decision has consequences.
Our debut title, Capital: 1929 – Wall Street, reflects our philosophy: games as living systems, inspired by real worlds, human behavior, and moments of tension and change.
At Hausrule, we don’t design games to be easy.
We design them to be worth playing.
Our moto
One rule to break them all!
