LT Game Awards 2022: "Marijampolė" Wins Two Awards

The First Board Game by Tomas Miliauskas

Marijampolė is the first board game created by Lithuanian game designer Tomas Miliauskas. Released before the founding of UAB Baltic Boar, this educational strategy board game marked the beginning of a professional journey in the Lithuanian board game industry.

Designed as a strategic city management board game, Marijampolė allows players to compete by developing their own vision for urban growth. By combining local identity, strategic thinking, and artistic presentation, the game quickly gained recognition within the Lithuanian tabletop community.

LT Game Awards 2022: Double Recognition

In 2022, Marijampolė received national recognition at the LT Game Awards 2022, one of the most important gaming events in Lithuania.

The board game won:

• Best Debut Board Game
• Best Artistic Style

These awards positioned Marijampolė among the top Lithuanian board games of 2022 and highlighted its innovative game design and strong visual identity.

The artistic direction and cohesive thematic design played a major role in the game’s success, helping it stand out in a competitive tabletop market.

A Strategic City Management Experience

Marijampolė is more than a local-themed board game. It is a competitive strategy game where each player shapes their own development plan for the city. Players make strategic decisions about urban expansion, infrastructure, and long-term growth.

This combination of:

• city-building mechanics
• educational elements
• competitive strategy gameplay
• strong artistic style

makes Marijampolė a distinctive example of modern Lithuanian board game development.

The Foundation of UAB Baltic Boar

Although Marijampolė was released before UAB Baltic Boar was officially established, it became the foundation for the company’s creation.

The experience of designing, publishing, and promoting an award-winning Lithuanian board game gave Tomas Miliauskas the expertise to launch Baltic Boar as a professional board game publisher. Today, Baltic Boar focuses on developing original board games with strong themes, creative storytelling, and high production standards.

Marijampolė was not just a debut — it was the starting point of a growing Lithuanian board game brand.
