A Message

HI!

I'm Kariko Githaiga, founder, designer, artist and professional overthinker at African Party. Thicker Than Blood is the very first game I’ve published and bringing it to life has been one of the most stimulating, ridiculous, and rewarding things I’ve ever done.

Looking ahead, I intend to continue making strategic tabletop games with engaging narratives and unique mechanics. You can expect more card games, board games, and potentially even hybrid experiences that challenge your mind and spark memorable interactions.

To everyone who's supported this dream, whether you’ve bought a copy, playtested when I was cutting up paper, or even just sent a kind message, thank you. You’ve helped a lifelong gamer live out a dream he didn't know he actually had.

Thanks for being here. I can’t wait to show you what’s next.

With all my warmth,

Kariko Githaiga

Founder & Chaos Enthusiast, African Party
