Together — Let’s Create the Next Great Game
At Sky Lion Games, we are on a mission to publish bold, innovative, and highly replayable board games that bring people together. If you have a polished game design that has been thoroughly playtested and fits our vision, we’d love to hear from you!
What We’re Looking For
We are looking for tabletop board games (not RPGs) that meet the following criteria:
🎲 Engaging & Replayable – A game that excites players and keeps them coming back for more.
👥 Player Count – Must accommodate at least 2-4 players (solo mode optional but not required).
⏳ Playable in 45 min - 2 hours – We are open to longer games, but they must be the main event of game night and maintain engagement.
🚀 Unique & Innovative – A fresh mechanic, a creative theme, or a new twist on existing mechanics.
⚡ Fast & Fun Turns – Players should stay engaged, with minimal downtime and a smooth game flow.
🤝 Collaborative Designers – We want to work with designers open to feedback and refining their game post-acceptance.
❌ No Previously Published or Crowdfunded Games – We do not co-publish or accept games that have already been crowdfunded or released.
Themes & Mechanics We Love
We are open to any theme, but we are especially drawn to:
🌍 Nature, magic, fantasy, sci-fi, adventure, civilization-building, and strategic city-building.
📜 International & Cultural Themes – As a former diplomat, I am especially excited to see designs that reflect international cultures and perspectives.
Mechanics we have enjoyed in the past include:
✔ Deck Building
✔ Worker Placement
✔ Area Control
✔ Card Drafting
✔ Direct Conflict (Light War Games)
✔ Cooperative Play
However, we are most interested in fresh takes on mechanics—if your game introduces something new or reinvents a classic concept, we want to see it!
Submission Requirements
To submit your game, it must be a fully developed and playtested prototype (not just an idea). Please ensure the following:
✅ A Sell Sheet – A one-page document summarizing your game (theme, player count, playtime, key mechanics, why it stands out).
✅ A Clear Rulebook – Your rules should be easy to understand and tested with players outside your immediate circle (blind playtesting is encouraged).
✅ A Playable Prototype – If we are interested, we will request a prototype for further testing.
✅ Flexibility & Collaboration – We may suggest refinements to enhance gameplay, theme, or marketability. If you are not open to making adjustments, this may not be the right fit.
