CORE PROTOCOL
Forget mass production. Built by hand by us, the authors, Scalar Core is an exclusive board game experience where no two sets are exactly alike.
Moving away from the assembly line, we’re pushing the hobby into the world of fine art. Each hand-poured piece is an heirloom-quality original built to last a lifetime.
ARTISAN QUALITY
The game is built on years of hands-on experience. We’ve spent that time mastering our materials and ideas - so that every piece - from the initial resin pours to the final finish - is an act of precision.
We craft each set as if it were for our own collection; it is a deeply personal work, ensuring every box that leaves our hands truly represents us as creators.
LIMITED EDITION
To maintain the highest level of craftsmanship, we have limited this first run to exactly 500 units.
Our workflow is a series of steps where patience is vital. Because every single piece requires a significant investment of time, this limit is the only way to ensure each set meets our uncompromising standard. As a testament to this work, each set is hand-signed and numbered.
THE 27 DICE
Each box holds a glimmering treasure of 27 artisan dice, including three bespoke designs made specifically to power our unique game mechanics.
Beyond the core experience, we’ve also included a special bundle that completes two full, standard dice sets. This ensures you can take the amazing glimmers of our artisan resin beyond Scalar Core and into any tabletop adventure you choose.

Polished to a mirror finish, The Scalar Core is the true centerpiece of the board. This oversized, pyramid-style D4 is etched with deep-gold sigils and possesses the power to drastically shift the dynamics of the game with every roll of it.
It is activated by a player claiming Dominion, acting as a high-stakes engine that has the potential to accelerate your winning run or change the tide of battle completely.

HOW TO PLAY + PLAYTHROUGH
THE MAKERS OF
SCALAR CORE
We are a creative duo (yes, it’s really only the two of us!) based in EU, Bulgaria, bringing together our backgrounds in AAA game development and the fine arts. Over the years, our partnership has brought to life several exhibitions, a successful Artisan Keycap project, and a physical shop featuring Dilyana’s handcrafted resin jewelry. This incredible journey, driven by our shared creativity and Filip's lifelong passion for game design, has naturally evolved into our biggest adventure yet: Scalar Core. We’ve poured everything we’ve learned into this project to finally turn this dream into reality!
FILIP PANCHEV
I've spent more than a decade in the AAA gaming world as a UX/UI designer (primarly working on 4x titles), and my main focus has always been making sure players have a smooth and unforgettable experience. Beyond the screen, I have a soft spot for complex systems, product design, and visual art. Designing Scalar Core allowed me to bring all these elements together in one perfect blend.
DILYANA STOIMENOVA
My passion for handmade resin pieces sparked about six years ago, when I began expanding my artistic horizons and blending fine art with craftsmanship. Before that, the 15 years of experience I had as a freelance digital artist in the gallery scene gave me a rich perspective and the freedom to create what I truly love without limits.
HOW ITS MADE
Our meticulous manufacturing pipeline merges advanced digital engineering with artisan hand-finishing, ensuring every Scalar Core component achieves absolute tactical precision and aesthetic excellence.
CONCEPT &
3D DESIGN
Long before we touch any materials, our designs are born in the digital world. This allows us to perfect every detail on screen, ensuring that a simple spark of imagination translates into a beautiful, physical object.
RESIN 3D
PRINTING
We use high-resolution MSLA printing to bring our designs into the real world. This is the moment where every tiny detail becomes something we can see and touch, ready to be prepared for the next steps.
MASTER POLISHING
BY HAND
Once the master print is complete, we sand and polish it entirely by hand. While it is our most demanding step, it is the only way to achieve those perfect lines and a crystal-clear finish.
SILICONE
MOLD MAKING
We take that hand-polished master and cast it in liquid silicone. This creates a flawless mold that captures every single micro-detail, so the final pieces come out exactly the same.
EPOXY RESIN
POURING
We pour every piece using epoxy resin infused with a vast array of custom colors, pigments and materials. This careful blending creates striking, one-of-a-kind effects, ensuring that no two pieces will ever look exactly alike.
POLISHING &
PAINTING
After they come out of the mold, we give them a final polish and then sit down to hand-paint the numbers and tiny lines. It really brings out the details and makes everything super easy to read on the table.
FDM 3D
PRINTING
We utilize FDM printing to craft the side trays and game lid. To ensure a premium finish, we coat these prints in a high-quality varnish and hand-pour an epoxy resin base into the tray.
AUTHENTICITY
CERTIFICATION
We work with the best local print house so the cards and packaging match the game's premium feel. When we hand-sign your Certificate of Authenticity, we know we’re sending a true masterpiece.
THE FINAL
PRODUCT
The final product reflects dozens of hours of labor, where every process aligns into one cohesive creation. By blending engineering with artisan resin work, we ensure every component fits with precision and looks stunning on the table.
