Meet our first idea

IT'S A BOOK...
SORT OF.

It sits neatly on your shelf like a book. Open it up and it becomes something completely different.

King Beaver Chess

Step 01

Closed

Compact, tidy and designed to sit neatly away when you're finished playing.

Step 02

Open It

Open the design and the compact case begins transforming into the playing area.

Step 03

Play

Set it down, get the pieces out and play. Pack everything back inside when you're done.

Your move.

First up

CHECKMATE
ANYWHERE.

We're developing a foldable chess set designed around the shape of a book. Closed, it's compact and easy to store. Open it up and you've got the board ready for a game.

The concept is being developed using 3D printing, giving us the freedom to experiment with the hinges, storage and overall form.

Format Foldable

Development 3D Printed

Closed Book Form

Open Ready To Play

The clever bit

SMALL
OUTSIDE.
BIG INSIDE.

The aim isn't just to shrink a board game. The product itself should be part of the experience.

Pick your game

Take it off the shelf just like you would a book.

Open it up

Unfold the case and reveal the game stored inside.

Start playing

Set it down and play. When you're finished, everything packs back together.

Who are we?

WELCOME TO
KING BEAVER.

King Beaver started with two best friends and an idea to make physical games a little more interesting.

We like products that make you want to pick them up, open them and show somebody how they work. The sort of thing that starts a conversation before the game has even started.

We're starting with foldable, 3D-printed concepts and seeing just how far we can take the idea.

The King Beaver way

MADE TO BE
PLAYED WITH.

We're not interested in making something different just for the sake of it. The design still has to make sense, feel good to use and make the game easy to enjoy.

Different

Take something familiar and look at it from another angle.

Practical

Compact storage and clever construction still need to work in the real world.

Playful

It is a game after all. It should feel like one from the moment you pick it up.
