Session Name:

Secrets of the Tabletop Games Industry

Overview:

The tabletop games industry is fragmented, confusing, and full of some the most exciting ideas in all of game design. In this talk Bryan Bornmueller will share advice from my multiple decades of experience and current insights gained both in my current role as Director of Sourcing at Asmodee (one of the largest players in the tabletop games space) and designer of the Fellowship of the Ring: Trick-Taking Game (winner of the Golden Geek for best co-op game 2024) for current and aspiring board, card, and tabletop game designers. He will discuss the shape of the tabletop landscape, what publishers are looking for, practical advice and resources for pitching, prototyping, and promotion of modern tabletop games.
