meet the designer
I'm a teacher from melbourne, australia.
my favourite games are heavy on interaction and light on complexity.
things don't have to be complicated to be fun. keep it simple!
My goal with Stash was to create a fast, intuitive game that you can play anywhere, with anyone, and with enough strategic depth to keep you coming back for more.
After 3 years of solo production, I'm incredibly proud to finally share it with you.
Thanks for supporting indie game designers,
HEY!

what people are saying
[ straight from the horse's mouth ]
"This game is one of the good ones"
"I have played loads of good and bad games in my life. I have to say this game is one of the good ones ... Every round you're faced with tough choices: do you play it safe or risk it all for greater gain? The real magic happens in the interaction between players - you never know if someone is playing conservatively or setting up a big move.
What makes Stash shine is how accessible it is. The rules are simple, but the gameplay is layered with strategic depth. Every decision feels meaningful and the constant tension keeps everyone on edge in the best way possible. Plus, it plays quickly, making it easy to go for "just one more game", which we did, several times ... Stash is great for those who love quick, interactive games with a mix of risk and reward ... This one's staying in our collection. I want more Stash!"

"pure unfiltered fun"
"We aim to give our honest opinions on games, good and bad. so when we say that Stash is a super fun game that totally caught us off guard, you know it's a good one. This little guy takes all of 5 minutes to play, and it's just pure unfiltered fun ... t's easy to learn but filled with clever decision making, making it just as enjoyable for casual players as it is for those who love a bit of strategy ...
Every turn is legitimately a nail biter. This is the kind of game you take everywhere with you. It's less than a minute to teach, fast playing, and completely addictive! Very highly recommend!"

"quick and easy game to learn and play"
"Stash is a very quick and easy game to learn and play, with simple, straightforward rules. The cards have a really nice ink artwork. This is a great filler game or a quick easy game with some fun interaction, for players who enjoy games like Exploding Kittens or Unstable Unicorns.
Though I'm a heavy Euro player, I did enjoy the push your luck element of trying to hold onto the treasure chest or get more loot, before stashing it and hoping it didn't get destroyed or stolen ...
There's room for probability and strategy, which added some complexity. I definitely would prefer to play this to the more completely luck-based games in this genre."

"one of our favourite pub card games"
"This is a great little game. Simple rules and quick playing. The artwork on the cards is beautiful looking and are nice quality ... It fits nicely in your pocket for taking on your travels."
"Last week we visited the city of Paris and Disneyland. In between seeing the sites and going on the rides we played Stash. This is the perfect game for travelling as it's in a pack of cards sized box and it doesn't take up too much table space.
This was our first time playing it as a 4 with this game and it was so much fun. Everyone really enjoyed it."
"One of our favourite pub card games. Always great fun with the family."
"you can easily set up again and again"
- boardgameplumb
"The game is really easy to learn and plays really quickly. You can easily set up again and again. The quick gameplay makes this a really portable game that's great for taking to a pub or cafe and playing a few quick rounds. I like the artwork and the colour scheme on the character cards. I liked that each player had a different ability to make the game a little asymmetric. The push and pull between players placing cards and hoping they're still there next turn to stash was good fun."

"such a fast, fun and brutal card game!"
"The quality of the card stock, the linen finish, the art, and the lavish gold print really sets this apart from other games of this type and size. Game play is brutal but fun, and quick ... Ideal for filler, holiday or travelling."
"So simple and fast, caused much joyful uproar"
"A very successful non-gamers night ... Stash we played multiple times and went down particularly well with one of our guests going on the internet to purchase it mid game!"
"Very well received by new players, so much so that we have just ordered another 3 sets. Good job for creating such a fast, fun and brutal card game!"
"Stash is always a great success, especially with those who are new to games."
