Game Publishers - an Open Invitation

Reiner Knizia is keen to work with publishers from all over the world, large or small, in the traditional as well as in the electronic games markets.

The Knizia Publishing Philosophy

Reiner Knizia strongly emphasises that he is a game designer, not a game publisher. "Designing games and publishing games are two very different disciplines. The designer creates the original game with its theme, its game system and its principal components, delivering a complete single prototype to the publisher. On the basis of this prototype, the publisher manages the production of the game, and promotes and markets it", explains Knizia. He continues "I concentrate on doing what I do best: designing games. This means that I can only be successful in cooperation with strong and competent publishers who do their job as professionally as I believe I do mine. I am always looking for new publishers all over the world, large or small, in the traditional games market as well as the electronic games market. I have lots of new and unpublished designs waiting for their opportunity to come to life."
