Seven Castles Games is an independent board-game publisher dedicated to creating deep, strategic tabletop experiences with strong themes and premium components.

Founded by game designer and enterprise architect Hugo Silva, the studio brings a systems-driven approach to game design—focusing on meaningful player choices, balance, and high replayability. Every project is developed through extensive playtesting, clear rules development, and close collaboration with artists and manufacturing partners.

Our flagship title, Steam Cities, is a mid-to-heavy strategy game set in a competitive steampunk world, blending engine building, political interaction, and area control. Alongside it, we are developing a growing catalogue of original games across different weights and formats.

Seven Castles Games was created with a long-term vision: to publish thoughtful games that respect players’ time, reward mastery, and deliver a high-quality experience from design to final production.
