Hello, we are Horrible Guild...

Horrible Guild is an Italian board game publisher. Known as Horrible Games until late 2019, the company has been founded in 2014 by Lorenzo Silva. Our goal is to design, develop and produce cool and innovative games capable of bringing fun to everyone: we try to make our games stand out from the crowd, both for visual style and gameplay mechanics.

... and this is the Horrible team!

Author of Horse Fever (2009), Dungeon Fighter (2011), Potion Explosion (2015), Railroad Ink (2018), The King’s Dilemma (2019), and loads of other stuff. Founder & CEO of Horrible Guild. Punk lover. Pathologically impatient.

Federico Corbetta Caci

Head of Narrative & RPG

The only things he loves more than his horses are red wine and sludge metal. By contract, he has to yell “character arc!” at least twice a day. Thinks life is a roguelike, but no one really cares.

Beer, board game and football are his perfect cocktail mix. If it is added a pinch of adventure and a life in nature to him, he will forever be a happy man.

Hates air conditioner and cold. Among other things, loves the sun, open airs, samba, caipirinha, football (soccer) and, of course, boardgames.

Sales & Production Coordinator

Always smiling, she loves to travel and learn new things. The enthusiasm and passion for board games distinguish her. She also loves Mediterranean cuisine and music.

She is an old soul and a bookworm. She loves everything retro-styled, cute things, purple and punching out components from new games.

Giulia Monte

Administration Coordinator

Always in search of a good thrill, no matter if in the first row at a rock concert or among the pages of an adventure book. Open minded and curious about the world. Loves to find new strategies and challenges, in life just as in boardgames.

Davide Amici

Marketing Manager

Half games enthusiast, half music lover, 100% cheerleader. Draws energy from the sun but believes blue light emissions will keep him younger. Bronze Age nostalgic.

Alberto Putignano

Computer scientist who someday knocked his head and decided to become a game designer (we’ll see how that goes). Has a soft spot for retro visuals and Japanese urban photography. On a quest to end all quests.
