OUR CONSULTANCY SERVICES
The following services represent our work as board games experts.
- International Board Game Sales Reps & Licensing Agency
We help people & companies to get their product placed internationally via our International Sales Rep & Games Licensing Agency services. It takes a lot of time, effort and Travel budget to sell Games to publishers. Some Game originators just want to develop great Games, and want to hand over the selling to someone else. That’s what we do. Please don’t send in unsolicited Game submissions – please get in touch with us first & we can advise you on how to proceed. Note: we are primarily focused on mass market Games, if you have a $100 tabletop Game with a 50 page instruction manual, we might not be your best choice of Game Licensing Agent. However, if you have a more straightforward Game which could get on the shelf At Walmart, Carrefour or Argos stores, please get in touch 🙂
2. Board Games Product Development
We create bespoke Board Games for our clients. Having managed the development of hundreds of Games, we put all our knowledge to work for you to develop the best Game to meet your needs. Contact us for more information/for a quote on Game development.
3. Board Game Business Consultancy Calls
We conduct a limited number of fixed cost Consultancy calls each month. These are normally booked in advance, and we have to limit the number of calls we can take due to the pressures of our Consultancy project workload. During the calls we can offer our thoughts and feedback on all aspects of the board games business from how to bring a new game to market, to manufacturing through to feedback on your board games board games ideas. We can also give you some additional contacts of key people across the board games business from distributors to factories to product developers. Please note these calls normally last for 60-90 minutes, which is reflected in the costs. If you want us to review and sign your NDA (non-disclosure agreement) we can do, but we have to charge double the price to cover the time taken to review, amend and sign.
COST: Our Board Game Business Consultancy calls cost £500 GBP or $650 USD, including reviewing & signing NDA = £600 GBP or $800 USD.

5. Board Games Manufacturing
We have connections with a number of leading board games factories. If you need help to get your game manufactured, we can help. We prefer to work with companies who have games nearly ready to manufacture though. Due to the number of enquiries we receive we regrettably don’t have capacity to offer input throughout the development process for our manufacturing support service. We can though combine our Consultancy services listed above in conjunction with helping you find the right board games factory for your game.
