Everything you need
Design games, not spreadsheets.
Visual game designer
Drag and drop cards, dice, tokens, tiles, boards, and more. See your game take shape in real time with a top-down table workbench.
Zero code required
No Lua scripting. No JSON editing. No programming knowledge needed. Runner writes the code your game needs, the same way every time.
One-click deploy
Export directly to Tabletop Simulator and your Steam Workshop. Your game loads with working rules, scripted mechanics, and your own art, ready to playtest.
Building blocks system
Compose games from modular building blocks. Cards, dice, tokens, tiles, boards, economies, win conditions, and more. Mix and match freely.
Rapid iteration
Change a rule, tweak a card, adjust the board. Re-export in seconds and get the new version in front of your playtesters right away.
Automated game logic
Turn order, scoring, dealing, shuffling, win conditions. Configure your rules visually and we wire the mechanics for you.
Everything in the box
Familiar pieces.
Custom ones, too.
Cards
Paste in a spreadsheet and get a printed deck back
Dice
D4 to D20, with any face you can draw
Tiles
Draw them from a bag, already shuffled
Tokens
Coins, cubes, and counters, in any quantity
Boards
Lay out a track or a grid, or upload your own
Miniatures
A standee in every player color
Classic pieces
Chess sets, checkers, and poker chips, ready to go
Dungeon tiles
Build a map room by room, walls included
Drop any of them on the table. You design every piece. Runner handles the layout and the code.
What you can build
A shelf worth of games.
Built in one afternoon.
Load in your questions, pass the judge around, and let it keep score
Everyone plays a card face down, then the judge picks a winner
A face-up row to pick from and a hand nobody else can see
Buy from the row, and your discards reshuffle themselves
Pull tiles from the bag, lay them on the grid, and score them
Stamp out the map, set down your heroes, and roll for it
How it works
From idea to playtest
in one session.
“Every game designer has a notebook full of ideas they never get to build. We're here to change that.”
