Board games, card games - live games?

Live Oak Games focus is on games that connect people, games that bring people together around a dinner table
...or in a living room
...or in front of the TV
...or maybe even outdoors under the shade of a big old live oak tree.
What is Live Oak Games doing now?

In 2012, Live Oak changed its focus from producing games to licensing them. In 2013, we dropped off the grid for a few years (seven, actually) to deal with some distractions (no, not the game). In 2020, we came back to life. We launched Second Story Up, a publisher of middle grade fiction, and will be returning to licensing games to publishers.
