Achroma's creator, Realm Runner Studios, is an independent, self-funded studio based in Poole established in 2019 by a group of friends who wanted to bring something fresh and exciting to collectable card games.
Their first product, Achroma: The Curse of Curdle Hill, was released late last year.
The shop doubles up as Realm Runner Studios HQ with the Achroma team working out of the location, meaning they’re on hand to answer any questions players have.
Dan Renton, brand manager of Realm Runner Studios, said: "We wanted to combine a local base of operations with a welcoming hangout and event space for Achroma and tabletop game fans.
