FryxGames Board Games

FryxGames is a family-owned board game publisher based in Sweden, widely recognized for creating the critically acclaimed strategy game Terraforming Mars. Founded in 2011 by four brothers—Jacob, Enoch, Daniel, and Jonathan Fryxelius—the company remains a tight-knit family enterprise with over 20 family members involved in various roles from design and illustration to logistics.

While the company is headquartered in Karlstad, Sweden, its manufacturing operations are global. Like many major board game publishers, production is often outsourced to specialized factories in countries such as China for mass-market editions, while some small-scale or early editions have been produced within Europe. The brand has maintained its independence as of 2026, resisting acquisition by larger tabletop conglomerates to ensure the family's creative vision and scientific themes remain central to their products.
