Playte

Playte is a South Korea–based publisher that aims to reinvent the board game experience by focusing on accessibility, portability, and clever design. Their goal is to offer “plate-play” games — titles that stay compact, easy to pack, and quick to learn — so that gameplay can happen anytime and anywhere with any group of friends.

Among the games Playte is most known for are Pueblo, Silver Mine, and Depot. Pueblo brings a minimalist yet tense spatial puzzle where players stack blocks and try to avoid having their colors exposed — a game that feels simple but demands strategic placement. Silver Mine offers a push-your-luck atmosphere with dice and timing, giving players a fun balance between risk and reward. Depot shows Playte’s modern side: a quick, card-based game about sorting and outpacing opponents that works well for casual or filler game sessions.

Playte’s catalog ranges from abstract block-stackers to dice-pushing games and speedy card battles. They collaborate with designers and artists worldwide, keeping production quality clean and rules easy to grasp. For players who love games that don’t overstay their welcome, pack up easily, and still deliver interesting decisions, Playte is a publisher to watch.
