An Innovation In Deck Building
We love deck-builders. We just don’t love all the waiting– or watching someone else win because the best card for our strategy hit the market at the wrong time.
Button Kingdoms fixes that with a shared, simultaneous market where you’re always active and always in control.
Conquest through Cuddles
Some games make you play alone in a crowd. But that’s not Button Kingdoms. This game was made to get the whole family into the fray. It’s got the cute, the clever, the crunchy—and enough flair to keep everyone hooked.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this game take to learn and play?
First plays of a new game can always be a bit tricky to estimate how long they’ll take, so the rules of Button Kingdoms have been laid out with a just start playing approach, I’d recommend you plan for it to take around 90 minutes. But once you’ve learned it, it plays very quickly– under an hour.
Does the game feature player elimination?
No, the goal of combat in Button Kingdoms is to gain victory points and determine when the game ends. So if someone seizes your throne, you are still very much in the game, and you might even find it easier to win because you no longer need to defend your kingdom.
When will the Kickstarter launch?
We don’t have the date for the re-launch just yet but we’re targeting fall 2025.
When will I be able to receive a copy?
I’m going to set the fulfillment date one year from the Kickstarter completion, but I’m targeting before summer 2026.
Does the game have any AI art?
No, the game is fully illustrated by Ilya Salnikov, and the graphic design is by Manny Vega, Yesenia Carrero, and David Schneider.
From the maker of the award-winning game OUTRUN THE BEAR!
I’m Sam from Around the Stump Games! My interest in games started with my grandfather, who inspired my interest in games of strategy. Together we carved a chess set from the wood of a tree stump, and the publishing company’s name was born.
Around the Stump Games previously published another fun family night game called Outrun the Bear, which was voted 2023 UKGE People’s Choice “Best Family Game”!
