First game in development

Classic strategy, rebuilt for your phone

Thumb & Throne is a one-person game studio from Gdańsk, Poland. I’m making strategy games and city builders inspired by the classics, like Settlers, Knights and Merchants and Transport Tycoon. Games you can rule from the couch. Or any other throne.

Work in progress

From the prototype

Early screenshots from the first game: a village that grows street by street, with settlers carrying goods between workshops. Everything here is still changing.

The studio

Made in Gdańsk, by one developer

I love the old strategy classics: Settlers, Knights and Merchants, Transport Tycoon. These days I’d rather play on the couch with my phone than sit at a PC, so Thumb & Throne is where those two meet: deep, unhurried strategy, designed for touch.

Follow along for devlogs, behind-the-scenes and the first playtests.
