Our Games

The aim of Gleeson Games is to create approachable and fun tabletop games. If you pick up a game from Gleeson Games you can expect it to be easy to learn, and provide enough depth and variation to keep you coming back for more.


I have many games in various stages of development, but there are several that currently available for you in either a physical form, a print and play, or in digital format.



Hatching Dragons is a fun worker placement and card drafting game, in a mint tin.With the popularity of Dungeon crawlers at an all time high, Dungeon Masters are constantly in need of more dragons. This is where you come in. 2 players compete to hatch a collection of coloured dragons that you sell to Dungeon Masters to earn bags of gold.



Treasure Flip is a 'flip&write' game of treasure hunting. Any number of players can take part in piecing together fragments of a treasure map to find the treasures before the pirates close in.

Play online by using this digital version of the cards. You just need to print the map (or draw one) and find a pencil.


Pack Of Thieves brings together a diverse group out to steal a collection of gems, while evading the undercover cop, and escape in the getaway car. Hidden identities provide varied paths to victory.

This game is currently entered in the Board Game Geek 54-card game design contest.
You can access up-to-date information, as well as rules and print & play documents from the Pack Of Thieves WIP thread.

Best Board Games of 2021

Thanks to actually getting to a boardgame convention in the middle of the year, and also having an awesome group of designers to play games with, I managed to play about 40 new (to me) board games in 2021. Here is a quick rundown of some of my favourites. Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion. The original Gloomhaven has always seemed appealing to me. However, the sheer size was enough to cause me some hesitancy in taking that leap. Enter Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion. This game has essentially the same rules as the original, but in a more digestible format. It achieves this by slowly introducing the rules through 5 scenarios that serve as in-game tutorials. This is similar to modern video games, where you learn as you play. It is a great way to get you actually playing the game sooner, rather than needing to fully comprehend the entire rule book up front. As a co-op game, it suited playing it with my 10 year old. During lockdown, we were able to work our way through the entire campaign over a f

Got Time?

 2-4 players, 30 minutes play time.  Got Time? is a game of selecting polyomino tiles and placing them on your personal board. The tiles may contain 1 of 5 different clocks. Score points by grouping sets of unique clocks together. Player movement on the sundial track is performed by moving grains of sand through their hourglass timer. Each grain that falls allow the player to move along the track in the direction indicated on the hourglass. Just flip the hourglass to move back in the other direction! The player takes the tile from the position they land and adds it to their personal board. If the tile contains a pile of sand, they can add a grain of sand to their hourglass, allowing for greater range of movement in future turns. Score points by grouping sets of unique clocks next to each other on the board. To score a group, the player must also take a grain of sand from their hourglass, and place it in on one of the clocks in the group. However, they may only place sand on the last ti
