What is Unlucky Archer?
Unlucky Archer didn’t start out with an ambition to become a games design studio.
It all started back in November 2020...
​
After an epically awful year for everyone, we’d both been working full-time throughout the pandemic and decided that we’d like to create something in our spare time as a bit of a passion project.
​
After a bit of back and forth with ideas, the initial concept for Unlucky Adventurers was born. A pick-up and play card and dice game that combined our love for card games, fantasy adventures, and dry, sarcastic humour.
​
Through multiple versions of design and playtesting, Unlucky Adventurers has grown into a game that we believe in and can't wait to share with the world!
With easy to learn, but always intentionally chaotic elements of gameplay, it is a game that never ceases to make us smile.
​
From our family to yours, we hope you enjoy!
Why the name 'Unlucky Archer'?
Quite simply... it was a complete accident.
​
We have a bizarre history of strangely unlucky events that follow us around, but in the long run, turn out to be either weirdly fortuitous or at least bring happy memories.
​
One night, as we were sat discussing what we were going to call the company, we heard a mighty crash from our office upstairs.
A bow and arrows (from our old archery days) that we now kept hung on the wall for a display, had somehow come loose and crashed to the floor, taking a host of miniatures and games with it.
​
Not one to question strange coincidence vs fate, the Unlucky Archer was formed.
