About Tribun

Founders with wooden board

Our Story

Tribun was created by a father and son duo from Germany. Carsten and Max Deffland share a passion for strategic board games and wanted to create something unique.

The Game

We love chess but found it too rigid. So we crafted a more dynamic game where piece counts are not set in stone and the army can be restructured. We aimed to create a traditional game with simplistic rules and style that can be played anywhere and anytime.

MinD Game Award 2024

Award Winner

Tribun won the MinD (Mensa in Deutschland) game award 2024 for the most complex 2-player game. This recognition from one of the world's most prestigious high-IQ societies validates our vision of creating a game that's both accessible and deeply strategic.

Player Experience

We have always made good experiences with people having a lot of fun playing Tribun. The game's dynamic nature and strategic depth create memorable moments for players of all skill levels.
