S11.E10 :: The Wizard of Publishers
Nov 6, 2015
MAGE Company, managed by Alexander Argyropoulos, is a board game publisher that has brought the community games such as Raid & Trade, 12 Realms, Hoyuk, and Res Publica: 2230 A.D. MAGE Company is located in Europe and primarily uses Kickstarter to fund most of its games. The company has been at conventions such as UK Games Expo and Essen Spiel but is looking to make a splash in the US convention market.
My discussion with Alexander focused on how his company decides what games to produce and how much control they take over the final product. We discussed conventions and Kickstarter and all the other parts of game companies that should interest listeners, especially those who are not yet published.
MAGE Company currently has an expansion for Raid & Trade: War on the Streets on Kickstarter until Nov. 8th. If MAGE is a company that interests you, check out their Kickstarter. If you have interest in learning more about the company itself, please click this link.
