Reviewers & Content Creators

Review our games!

We love working with reviewers and content creators who are as passionate about games as we are. Whether you run a YouTube channel, post thoughtful reviews on a blog, or share gameplay impressions on social media, we believe in the value of your voice in the board gaming community. We’re always looking to build long-term, mutually supportive relationships with creators who help players discover new games and understand what makes them special.

We share advance copies of our games before Kickstarter launches and final production copies after retail release. These copies are provided at no cost to you — we cover the game, taxes/customs, and shipping. In return, we expect substantial content that clearly shows the game and shares your honest thoughts — the good, the bad, and everything in between. We do not impose any editorial control over what you create. However, content that doesn’t meet this bar (for example, a single photo in an Instagram post) may lead to removal from our reviewer community for future releases.

We don’t pay for reviews, as we believe that editorial freedom is essential. That said, we do occasionally commission paid playthroughs and “how to play” videos, especially from channels with strong reach and a proven audience. As a small publisher with limited resources, we aren’t able to compensate smaller creators for content at this time, but we still deeply value your contribution and support.
