Office Dog reached out and needed bold, dynamic branding to kick off their new series of LOTR: Trick-Taking Games. They already had vibrant, stained-glass illustrations which made our job a bit easier. We created all visual styles including: bespoke stained-glass font, logos, icons for LOTR-themed card suits, card frames, rulebooks, packaging, and we did it in a way that celebrated the illustrations instead of distracting from them.
LOTR: The Trick-Taking Game received a sequel in 2025, and we did it all over again. Same branding but all new chapters of the story and cards/suits/frames to match. In 2026, Office Dog and Middle Earth Enterprises announced LOTR: The Trick-Taking Game Return of the King, the final book in the series and where our journey ended as well. We once again created all visual elements, other than the illustrations, to elevate this brand.
Each of these games have sold hundreds of thousands of copies and translated into dozens of languages around the world.
