We ARE currently accepting games submissions for:
Polyomino Games
Cooperative Games
Dice Hospital Sequels and/or spiritual successors
Big Box Games
Mass Market Games
In detail:
Polyomino Games
Our collection is missing a game with polyomino style tiles, so we’d like to see more of these in our submissions. We’re interested in seeing these at any complexity so they can be as simple as Patchwork or as complex as Feast for Odin
Cooperative Games
Another thing we’d like to see more of in our submissions is cooperative games. We haven’t published any before but that doesn’t mean we’re not interested in doing so! We’re especially looking for smaller box cooperative games, Something similar in components and size to Pandemic or Catan
Dice Hospital Sequels and/or spiritual successors
A Dice Hospital sequel and/or spiritual successor submission will be thematically or mechanically similar to Dice Hospital
Thematically - an example of this could be 'Dice Hospital: Duel/the card game/roll & write etc.
Mechanically - an example of this is our upcoming Dice Theme Park - where the dice are the customers of the theme park, in a similar way they are the patients of the hospital.
Big Box Games
Games that are the size of Dice Hospital, Chocolate Factory, or Tungaru.
It's important that these games have a great table presence and a unique selling point.
They will also typically feature an interesting use of components.
An example of this is Eternal Palace, which was submitted to us by Steven Aramini through the below form. In Eternal Palace, the players visit locations to gain inspiration to complete their painting, and completing the painting ends the game as each painting is then presented to the emperor. The painting also stands on the table and acts as a screen for the player's pieces,
'Mass-Market' games
These have a very low rules overhead. These should be easy to grasp for non-hobbyist audiences. We are particularly interested in dexterity games
We’re expanding into this area with Kittin, Tinderblox, and Simon’s Cat and we’re very keen to publish more mass-market games. This category also includes 'family' games.
We will also consider games outside of these categories! We're particularly interested in games that have the following:
Unique pieces/physical components
A strong mechanic & thematic link
We will consider other games too but we will NOT consider:
Deck-building games (where deck-building is the main mechanic)
Roll & Write games (where Roll & Write is the main mechanic)
Political Games
'Take That' style games
Cards against humanity clones
Trivia Games
Abstract Games
Thanks for taking the time to submit your game!
