MEET THE MAKERS

The Creators Behind the Worlds of Sudden Conflict

In a small Melbourne apartment in the thick of 2020’s pandemic, two friends set out to create an engaging, fast-paced miniatures game. What began as a typical late-night session talking about game mechanics and world-building accidentally evolved into the idea that became what is now Sudden Conflict.

Our journey to creating Sudden Conflict began with a simple problem:  traditional miniatures games offered plenty of depth and immersion, but demanded significant investments of time, money and space. Both of us often admired the strategy and complexity of Warhammer 40K but were drawn to the accessibility and quick nature of Magic: The Gathering.

Having met at a board game bar in the heart of Melbourne, we shared a vision for an engaging game without the need for mountains of miniatures, encyclopedic rulebooks or six-hour play sessions. A game that we could enjoy at our favourite bar that was easy to transport, setup, and play in a public space.
