Founded by Esperanto pioneer Chuck Smith and active members of the Berlin and global indie game scene, Ludisto combines Berlin’s iconoclastic streak with creative talents from around the world.

History
After releasing Word Race, Chuck Smith assembled a team together to make a sweet card game for OUYA called Poker Solitaire. After reaching the #1 place in OUYA card games, they decided to continue to port this game to iOS.
And now for something revolutionary... What the Shell!They wanted to create a tablet board game truly unlike anything else on the App Store, even something impossible to play on cardboard. Digging into Chuck Smith's personal game archive, they found a gem from 1997 which needed to be modernized and brought to iPad owners and board game lovers around the world. The magic started while presenting an early prototype at and they knew they had to continue developing this into production. It has been amazing watching eyes light up around the world as players marvel at What the Shell's simultaneous play and ask the infamous question: "One more game?" and yet continue playing for hours.
