Lucky Newt Games
Hello! I'm Laura (she/her), one half of Lucky Newt Games. Our games are family-friendly and designed to promote equity. So we offer you the Lucky Newt Promise:
- They are family friendly. If nothing else, there will always be enough control over the theme that you can be comfortable playing them around or with little ones*.
- They are all inclusive. None of our games promote hatred or violence towards any protected class of peoples.
- Most are covered under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, so if you see anything you would like to hack, just be sure to give credit where credit's due and if it's not too much trouble, maybe a link back to the game that inspired yours. We're currently in the process of updating the licensing on all our games.
- They are created to be:
- light-hearted and fun
- provide comfort
- make people stop and think about the world around them, their relationships with others, or themselves
- some combination thereof.
*There might be a meditative game or two that you'll want to be in a calm, quiet place for.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me via Twitter or email.
You can check out our Full Catalogue, or view all the games in each category by clicking on the title of each category.
