Handcrafted tabletop games and gaming accessories perfect for the festive season. Many mini mint tin games and accessories that make wonderful stocking fillers.
Hi, I'm Nikita and here at Atikin Games I love to hand craft tabletop games and gaming accessories, I have 4 hand crafted games available as well as many accessories including The Board Game Survival Kit which allows you to play more games as your favourite colour! They all make for wonderful stocking fillers, (or even a nice gift for yourself, you know you deserve it!)
I've put together some bundles from past projects of mine with a nice little discount included. If you would like anything from my website that isn't available here please let me know and I'll create an add-on for it.
The Board Game Survival Kit The Board Game Survival Kit is a fun gaming accessory that contains a combination of common board game player pieces and dice that allows you to play as your colour even if the game doesn’t include it. No more deciding between a bunch of playing colours you don’t want. Instead, take your survival kit with you to every game night and use your own game pieces. Designed to fit in your pocket to take along to board game nights with you. Ultimate contents:10 meeples, 1 pawn, 1 cylinder, 2 D6 dice, 10 cubes, a mini pencil and a mini 7-piece dice set
Available in 15 colours - Black, Blue, Brown, Gold, Green, Grey, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, Silver, Teal, Turquoise White, and Yellow.
You can have The Board Game Survival Kit with either a standard "I Play [Colour]" label or you can have a custom label with your chosen name on it.
Mini Memory Mischief is a sweet, retro, quite nerdy little mint tin game. It’s 2 player and takes about 10-15 minutes to play. In the game players are trying to get letters in alphabetical order on their memory stack. It’s not as easy as it sounds though! The other player can take their chance causing ‘mischief’ with your stack. It’s also so super tiny, check out the pocket photo, it really is a pocket game, perfect for travel.
Feline Felonies Feline Felonies is a cute and fun board game in a mint tin. You take charge of a neighbourhood cat whose goal is to be the greatest thief around. You’ll steal toys and other items cats believe to be toys from around the board as well as from other cats. Get the most highly valued toys home to win and be crowned most felonious of the felines.
You will steal from other cats, flaunt your spoils in front of cats to increase their value, and move quickly past dogs. Use Special Actions to flip toys to their more valuable side, move toys on the board and even take a cat nap to save points for later use.
2-4 players, 30-45 minutes & Competitive
"But do not be fooled - this game is anything but cute; it may show you its belly but you'd be a fingerless fool to tickle it!" - Ann Jones, Cards or Die
Canine Capers Canine Capers is a cute and fun board game in a mint tin. You play as a determined dog who is investigating their neighbourhood, sniffing out clues and to solve the imagined capers going on in their little country village. Work together to reach clues in time and secure them at Canine P.D. to earn points and solve the caper of the day.
You can give and take clues between dogs, and utilise the sly foxes on the board to help you retrieve more valuable clues that have been pilfered by sneaky cats. Use your Special Actions to jump to home, move clues on the board, enhance your clues, move diagonally and even send clues back to the resource pool in order to extend your playing time.
1-4 players, 30-45 minutes & Cooperative
"Canine Capers is a family friendly, super light, cooperative game that we adored. Perfect weight, spot on mechanics. It's rare to have a fun family game that's also cooperative." - Northern Dice
Playful Pets Playful Pets: Cats & Dogs contains 3 games which are all cat and dog themed and come together in one box: Feline Felonies, Canine Capers and Animal Alliance. The first two are also available as stand-alone mint tin games for those who like travel games or for cat and dog lovers alike to take their pick.
"My family and I have really been enjoying the 3 in 1 delight that is Animal Alliance, Canine Capers and Feline Felonies... You can get all three or just one of these fun little pick up and deliver games made with 100% love and a ridiculous amount of cuteness." - Jim, What Board Game
This is the only game on offer that isn't hand crafted by me, it was my first published game and I'm still very proud of it.
Play the card game where you build your own board game to race on!
Welcome athletes to race day! At this very special triathlon you will build your skills as well as contribute towards creating the three courses that make up the race. Tri To Win is a card game where players build their own board game. Everyone can see the race course, you’re building it as a team. But only you know what skills your athlete has, this means each player is trying to build the course that their own athlete is more likely to win, and leave the others in the dust.
2-6 players, family friendly Quick to learn and 10-30 minutes to play Ages 8 and up

Atikin Games is an indie tabletop games publisher and very much a one woman show. It's just me, Nikita, hi! I do all the game design, art, writing, etc for my games and gaming accessories. I'm very proud of my work and love the board gaming community and being a part of it.
My 6th game Malus Hortus funded on Kickstarter this year and I'm looking forward to sending everyone's rewards out soon. Malus Hortus was the second game I ever designed but due to the size of the game and intricacy of the art it will actually be my sixth game to be published. This game deserved the extra time and attention given to make it all that it can be which is why I’m very excited it funded and is currently being manufactured.
I run The Indie Tabletop Newsletter which is full of news from other indie designers and is released once a month. And I regularly host weekly #BoardGamersLifts over on Bluesky that any board game enthusiasts can get involved in.
There are some very important additions to my team for whom Atikin Games wouldn't be the same without:
There's Captain; he's the Atikin Games mascot and even has his own page on the website. He's a wonderful mascot and a great therapy cat when times are tough. He's also very good at testing the durability of a game.
My husband is always my first play tester, and then another close family friend helps as well, allowing me to iron out any possible problems and strengthen the game before play testing with a larger audience.
So far, I’ve created 6 games, and I love them all. If you’d like to know a little more about my previous games, please check out my website's game section.
You can find @AtikinGames on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky and Mastodon!
