Brandon Sandberg is the creator of Thieves’ Tails, a cozy animal fantasy heist board game inspired by a lifelong love of storytelling, tabletop games, and worlds filled with memorable characters.
What began as a personal passion project eventually grew into a full publishing effort through Dice & Dagger, an independent studio focused on immersive tabletop experiences that blend strategic gameplay with rich worldbuilding.
Thieves’ Tails was originally created as part of Brandon’s proposal to his fiancée, Katy, and has since evolved through extensive playtesting, convention demos, and community feedback into the game it is today.
Inspired by stories like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Critical Role, and classic fantasy adventures, Brandon’s goal is to create games that feel welcoming, thematic, and deeply memorable both on and off the table.
When not designing games, Brandon can usually be found playtesting new mechanics, attending conventions, or bringing the world of Bramblewick to life one heist at a time.
