It has been a little over 3 years since my first published game was released, and 5 others have followed since that time. I am usually someone who is always looking ahead to the next challenge and the next project, but sometimes, it is helpful and encouraging to pause for a look back.
The encouraging part is the positive feedback the games have received around the world from a wide variety of players, gaming publications and reviewers. To keep a record of those, I have added a Reviews page to this blog.
Not all of the games have been readily available in all markets, and so this page also serves as a reference for those publishers looking to license the game in their markets. Most of this goes through the current publisher who leases the rights to the games, of course, but three of my games no longer appear in the publisher's catalogue and, therefore, according to contract, the full rights to those games revert back to me.
Heartland (Eine Frage der Ähre) and Circus Maximus are two games that have been well-received although not widely available, and therefore have potential to sell well in markets outside Germany, where they were officially released. In addition, I have been working on alternative versions and tweaks to make the games even better than when they were first published. I suppose I can't resist the opportunity to do something different with the concepts rather than simply recycling an idea in its entirety!
Piece o' Cake (...aber bitte mit Sahne) has already been released in several markets and is well-known in gaming circles, having sold just over 10,000 copies, but I believe it has untapped mass-market potential.
If you are a publisher and are interested in any of these games, please feel free to contact me here or through Boardgamegeek.com.
I would like to extend my thanks to all those who take the time to comment and review my games, even when those reviews have something critical to say. I have respect for any intelligently written review, and I apply that feedback to my future projects.
