Loved ones, autumn light, the weekend ahead and our new game FADENFROH on the table. Is there a better feeling? Game design by Jordy Adan & Alexander Pfister. Illustrations by @juliabeutling.bsky.social

Scenic picture of a players tableau at the end of Round 2 in the game Fadenfroh. 3 rows of cards with animals, flowers and beeries embroided on them. In the back you can see parts of the box, a thimble and wooden discs with threads printed on them.

Not arguing against it, but I would be curious to know the numbers of rule threads in the BGG entries of games that sold a similar amount of copies.

Adjusting comparisons between film and board games: A designer is seen as a game's director, when they're actually the screenwriter. A graphic artist is seen as the game's set designer when they're actually the DP. Players are seen as the game's audience, when they're actually its main cast.

The challenge with all balancing: the review (and play) habits that have developed in this overcrowded market. People will consider obvious strategies way faster to be overpowered compared to the ones that need more plays to grasp/discover.

One major purpose of TTGDA is to help tabletop game designers negotiate better publishing contracts. We just released the rubric of what we look for -- and info on how different publishers scored on the rubric. Soon we will also release a model contract. More at www.ttgda.org/contract-bas...

Tabletop Game Designers Association (TTGDA) Releases Scoring Rubric and Tabletop
Market Contract Analysis to Promote Equitable Industry Standards

Bridgewater, NJ – The Tabletop Game Designers Association (TTGDA) today announced the
launch of their Contract Scoring Rubric and publication of its Tabletop Market Contract Analysis
– 2026, a comprehensive industry report designed to share information about contract practices
and advocate for fair treatment, intellectual property protection, and designer involvement in the
tabletop game publishing process.
The report, developed by the TTGDA contract & grievance committee—led by industry veterans
Geoff Engelstein, Elizabeth Hargrave, Matt Leacock, and James Lowder—seeks to address the
wide disparity in publishing agreements across the industry. With many first-time game
designers accepting terms that may be disadvantageous, the TTGDA has developed a rigorous,
objective scoring rubric to evaluate publisher contracts.
“Our intention is to shine a light on these industry practices and lead to more equitable
standards,” says TTGDA Vice President Sen-Foong Lim. To assist in this effort, the TTGDA will
be releasing model contracts that adhere to the criteria established in the scoring rubric.
The full report can be downloaded at www.ttgda.org/contract-basics.
Key Industry Findings
The analysis of contracts from over 50 publishers reveals several critical areas where many
standard publishing agreements fall short of fair practices:
● Advances: Only two-thirds of publishers offer a baseline advance above the
TTGDA-recommended minimum of $1,000, while 20% offer no advance at all.
● Designer Involvement in Expansions: 40% of publishers retain the right to create
expansions without consulting the original game’s designer.

Intellectual Property Rights: 75% of publishers retain the rights to a game’s name after
the publication agreement concludes and rights to the design revert to the creator.
● Financial Transparency: One-third of publishers deny designers the right to audit their
books, and 10% include non-standard deductions to revenue before royalties are
calculated.
Moving Toward Standards
The Tabletop Market Contract Analysis includes aggregate results, with summary scores for
each individual publisher available to TTGDA members. However TTGDA would like to highlight
the top five scoring publishers (alphabetically): 25th Century Games, Fireside Games, Lunar
Punk, Plaid Hat Games, and UP Games.
“These results are not a call to avoid specific publishers,” says TTGDA President Geoff
Engelstein. “Rather they are a tool for designers to negotiate terms that include fair payment,
intellectual property protection, and a meaningful role in the final product.”
The organization plans to release semi-annual updates to the Tabletop Market Contract
Analysis as more contracts are reviewed and publishers revise their standard agreements.
About the Tabletop Game Designers Association
The Tabletop Game Designers Association is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization dedicated to
supporting designers of all types of tabletop games, including board games, role playing games,
card games, miniature games, and others, whether mass market, specialty, or hobby. Learn

I always tell new game designers that they should try to get across why someone should play their game. And even better to make sure that they have something to tell their friends afterwards. I personally don't care at all that a pitch conveys what happens in a turn. I want to know what is unique.

If you ever come to Vienna, Austria, I would be happy to show you the creative "crimes" I am responsible for. Like naming/branding for fancy restaurants or other food/beverage related projects. Picture showing a cocktail in one of the restaurants.

Philosophers used to moan about the assumption that things are only real if you could measure them. But honestly that’s a lot better than the assumption now that things are only real if you can monetise them.

It was supposed to be a reference to Austria having a lot of mountains. But you can also argue that the amount of world class game designers is one of the reasons.
