桌遊是想像力汪洋中隆起的一座孤島，我們則是踏上這座島嶼的探險者。 自第一款遊戲至今，在島上掙扎求生已4年多一些，總是冒出各樣難關考驗著自己的信心。但是這座島上充滿著各種神奇的事物！有的地方磅礡如史詩、有的是蹊蹺的魔幻小徑、有的裝置著精巧的機關，更多的是我還未踏足，有著無盡可能性的未開發區域… 滿是辛苦，但也伴隨著驚喜、成就與痛快！ 在島上，只能全力投入於每一款遊戲的設計與製作中，累積經驗，才能好不容易獲得開發的裝備和道具，終於今年開發漸漸變得順利，前往東京、德國參展也得到了好成績，並且獲得了能互相支援的盟友。我想，能更加深入探索這座島嶼的時機總算來臨，今後山頂洞人實驗室將會有更多、更有趣、更具創意的好作品。 希望各位能帶著好奇心與我們一同探險！
