Pocket Realms is Hexwerks Studios’ line of compact tactical wargames, built on shared design principles: fast play, strong theme, and hex-based battlefield decisions. Each title is a standalone game with its own world, style, and tactical identity.

Download the free core rules and bring your warband to battle.
A compact Dark Age tactical wargame of warbands, omens, and battlefield pressure. Built for portable play and sharp decisions, Omens & Ravens brings early medieval clashes to a modular hex battlefield with fast alternating activations and strong faction flavor.
Hoist the Black: The Age of Infamy is a tactical age-of-sail tabletop wargame where players command a single warship and its captain in brutal, high-stakes duels on a hex-based sea. Every maneuver is a commitment, every broadside a risk, and every victory shapes your legend.
Featuring wind-driven movement, simultaneous cannon fire, boarding actions, and campaign play built around Reputation, Infamy, and political leverage, Hoist the Black is a game about ambition carried on timber hulls — where power is earned at cannon range and remembered long after the smoke clears.
Command your ship. Forge your name. Decide what kind of monster the sea will remember.
