Rochi was co-created by James Ernest (award-winning game designer, of Cheapass Games and Crab Fragment Labs) and Sonia Orin Lyris, author of the books where the game is played. Each of the 54 brilliant, vibrant, and compelling cards was illustrated by Mark J. Ferrari.
The public beta form of the game is available for free download from Crab Fragment Labs.

James Ernest is the creator of Patrick Rothfuss’s Tak, which can be seen on the Rochi card The Game.
