Oaken Table Games is a small, family run and family owned game company created by John Andersen.
Oaken Table focuses on both strategy and family table top games so we have something for everyone.
At Oaken Table Games, we design our games around what’s known as the Rubber Band Effect—a design philosophy that keeps games close, gives players a chance to make a comeback, and keeps everyone involved until the very end. We don’t think it’s fun when one player runs away with the game early while everyone else feels out of it. Our goal is to create games full of big moments, shifting momentum, and exciting finishes where anyone still has a shot to win. That means more laughs, more competition, and a better experience for everyone.
GEN CON
Oaken Table Games has been at Gen Con since 2023 where we debuted our first game The Mines of Pekari. In 2024, we released our second game, The Sled Runners of Pekari. We are excited to release our third title at Gen Con 2026, Alchemy Workshop. We love to connect at conventions so hopefully we will see you there!
