We grow board game businesses into international brands

Our business is knowing the board game industry. Our team has seen it all. The full economic cycle. The life cycle of the individual games. The evolution of the industry.

We are a company like no other, offering a broad array of professional services for tabletop gaming companies.

We’re passionate about building long-term partnerships and enacting positive change in our industry.

Our team acts as a non-exclusive extension of your own, allowing you to explore new opportunities without drastically increasing your overheads.

We deliver results for your long-term success. In our first two years, we generated over $10 million
in product revenue for our clients as well as saving them over $2 million in production costs.

Our services are designed to help you grow your business in an enduring, sustainable way. We can help you with many key business functions, allowing us to offer support at all stages of your product’s life cycle. Each service can be taken as a standalone option or combined with other services as part of a bespoke offer tailored to your needs.

We generate results and improve your revenue by placing your products in front of new audiences and building your brand on a global scale.

We’re not a simple sales agent who brokers a deal then disappears once their commission is secured.
Instead, we act as a bridge between you and the third parties, remaining actively involved from start to finish.

We’ll guide you through the implementation of our action plans, empowering you to make the best decisions with the best information available.  

More than 90% of our partners work with us on a retainer basis. This gives them confidence
that we are invested and dedicated to the long-term success of their business.

Why work with us?

Expertise

Our combined 85 years in the tabletop industry gives us an unrivalled level of knowledge and experience, earned at the forefront of the industry.

Reputation

Professionalism

Our team treats our partners’ brands just as protectively as our own. We don’t ever recommend a course of action that we don’t firmly believe will benefit your business.

Innovation

Our work on revolutionary new products leaves us perfectly placed to push the bounds of what is possible, whether it’s unique decks of cards or the best miniatures on the market.
