About Gaard Games

My name is Marcus Jargarden. I worked in finance for 15 years but decided I needed a change and wanted to start a business doing something I am a passionate about instead. So I started a game design and publishing company.

For now it just me in the company but I work with lots of different partners across design, manufacturing and logistics. 

Other than the games listed above I have a handful other game ideas that I am working on that hopefully will come to fruition as well.
