BLOG: INTERVIEW

I am with Rob Daviau at Grandcon, and he goes like ‘I have this idea for a new Antares feature, but I am not sure if this is possible…’ ‘It’s possible.’ I promptly say. He didn’t even manage to finish the sentence, but let me tell you this – when

BLOG: Play it again!

  Last year, in November, almost one and a half years after I finished writing all of the Detective cards, I invited my old friends to the Portal Games headquarters. I used to play RPGs with them many years earlier. We sat in the conference room. I launched the Antares

BLOG: I lost compass

I lost it. I am done. I qualify for retirement. My compass is dead, and I feel like for the first time in years, I am surrounded by a thick fog. It feels terrible. Let me explain. I was pretty prophetic when in 2011 I created Board games That Tell

We have finally arrived

We’re finally here. After a long journey through the Ocean filled with anxiety for each member, I’m glad that we can finally stretch our legs on the land. At some point, I couldn’t stand the constant suspense, even though I was continually assuring everyone not to worry about our campaign.

Increasing Fears

If this continues like that, we might be in danger even before we get to the jungle, and we’re only halfway through the Ocean. Romero keeps on bickering with La’Blanc. Father Clemens continue with his stories, what he found out about our destination, and what should we prepare ourselves to,

S&T: Monolith Arena – Unfolding the Guardians

Last time we’ve talked about the Dragon Empire and our propositions as to what to prepare inside the Monolith and the reasons behind those choices. This time it’s time to take a closer look on Ignacy’s favorite dwarfs and thee different setups for their Monolith. Guardians of the Realm are

The danger ahead

I must admit, I’m not as thrilled about the jungle after today’s evening, as I was when I’ve decided to join the expedition. From what Father Clemens was telling us, there’s much we need to prepare ourselves for if we want to have any chances in finding Fawcett. Apparently, deep

BLOG: Don’t you dare!

It’s Saturday, 11 pm, we are in a car, driving back home from meet up with fans in Bielsko Biała. It was an epic 6 hours evening with more than 50 fans showing up. I am dead tired. I hear notification sound on Marek’s phone. He checks his messages. He

Unexpected Delivery!

BLOG: What happened in Alton?

Where to start? This time I guess I need to take you to Alton in Hamshire, England. That’s where it all began. I was sitting in Asmodee UK offices meeting with their sales team and presenting Detective. It was spring 2018, a few months before the release of the game

Few names from the rescue expedition

On our behalf and Fawcett family’s, we would like to thank each and every one of you for such a fantastic response on to our call! We were genuinely stunned to see that many brave people, jumping in to search for Colonel. We’ve been going through the list, trying to

Percy Harrison Fawcett, who’s lost in the depths of the Brazilian jungle. The brave explorer – in pursuit of the legendary and mythical city long forgotten by

Welcome to PORTAL GAMES

We are bookworms. Movie maniacs. Story addicts. We grew up reading Tolkien, Howard, Herbert, Dick, Lem… We were watching Willow, Blade Runner, Never Ending Story, Robin Hood…

And yet, we don’t write books… we don’t make movies. We don’t make those things, because we make games. We make games that tell stories.
