Home 5 Ages Jelly Mind













































There are few game components that are as flexible as the traditional playing cards. Perhaps invented during the Tang dynasty around the 9th century AD, the playing cards have spread around the world and can be used to play thousands of games.

Although Nova Suecia games focuses on custom-made boardgames, we have also designed simpler games that may be played with an ordinary deck of cards. It is perhaps even more difficult to come up with unique games for playing cards but it is our ambition to leverage our Vision with only 52 cards as well. Enjoy!


  1. 5 Ages was designed for the Playing Card Challenge.
  2. Jelly Mind was designed for the Jelly Bean Contest.

My name is Nicholas Hjelmberg and I am a hobby gamer since childhood. Starting with classic games like chess and RISK, I moved on to explore "American" games like Diplomacy and Civilization and then "Euro games" like Settlers and Tigris & Euphrates. Combining my game experience with my history interest and IT and quality profession, I have entered the exciting world of board game design and production.
