Chris and Maissa are in our local Leclerc store today, demoing some of the games we currently have published. First time in a Supermarket, and a very big one at that. This is the first day of two, the second being next week. Games will be available to buy this week at the store.

Let's see if we can get some new gamers :) Good luck to them both.

Thanks to Moustapha Louizi for the translation and to Mathieu and Guillaume as the excellent student team we are supporting. We are looking forward to seeing them play and enjoy our games in the months ahead as well as bring fun to kids in Morocco.

Great morning game of Kinapa!

29/10/2023

Essen was great for the launch of Kinapa 3rd Edition with having one of the lead designers Rudolf Larregain-Feller and the artist and graphic designer Delphine Delmas on the stand to run demos.

You can purchase copies here just in time for the end of year season and please note that this edition has a much larger box, new English/French printed individual rules, a colorful insert and dual language game aid cards.

Its a great family game but equally challenging for expert gamers ;)

Some history of our games and what to expect in the future…

11/10/2023

A lot of great things happened at Essen Spiel. We got to sign our contract with Jeudelire in France for French distribution. Retailers can now get Heroes of Thargos and Kinapa plus will be able to get Battle Mages soon.

03/10/2023

Here we go, just one day left before we set up for another edition of Essen Spiel. We can't wait to feel that excitement and experience the reactions to our games!

You can find us here with 3 game launches, plus prototypes on display.

Morning all, or the most suitable salutations wherever you are. We are really excited to be presenting our games at the Vichy professional games festival. What an awesome venue too! Festival des Jeux à Vichy. We have prototypes of Ascendia and Battle Mages (the latter will be released at Essen 🙂 ), plus the printed copies of Heroes of Thargos, the Undead Expansion and family game Kinapa.

22/08/2023

Very glad to be announcing that we will have 3 new games on offer at Essen Spiel on stand 1C137: Heroes of Thargos plus the Undead Expansion in German, Battle Mages and Kinapa. Heroes of Thargos continues to grow now opening up the German Gaming market with this new release. Battle Mages is a great Mage battling game where you pit your wits against other champion Mages in a fight to the death in the Arena of Selek, casting powerful spells, countering and redirecting attacks until you are the last Mage standing and Kinapa is a great fun family game that involves careful bluffing, putting pairs down as you try to gather cats and dogs of the land who have been separated from their cots and kennels whilst combining them with their beloved belongings under the watchful eye of the Emperor and his Ministers in the land of the rising sun :)

Our first Serious Game signing for the corporate world.

Grasse, France, December 2022

SBG Editions have signed an Agreement to publish a Serious Game worldwide: Project Game (Working Title) with the team from Trilus – Rosa Linda Romano, Stefano Di Maria & Marco Saponaro based in Italy.

SBG Editions are thrilled to have signed an agreement to publish another board game, this time to develop the Serious Games part of the business for corporate use. Indeed, Trilus have been using prototypes of this game in a corporate environment for teamwork facilitation sessions amongst other uses for some time. We are very glad and humbled that they agreed to be part of this opportunity to work together on such a great project.

Linda, Stefano & Marco comments: “When Chris told us about his publishing project, we immediately knew we could collaborate together, because we both (SBG, Trilus ed.) believe in board games as a tool to facilitate decision-making, processes and organizations in business. Bringing these tools into companies will be an incredible adventure certainly full of satisfaction and results. We look forward to making the printed product known! We strongly believe in the work that Chris and SBG Editions are doing, having signed a contract is proof of that! Ad Maiora.”

Chris Loizou, the CEO of SBG Editions adds: “what an exciting opportunity to build our Corporate Games business game range whilst striving for the same high standards we endeavour to maintain for all our games. The game design philosophy that Trilus adheres to, their vision and the use cases of the game immediately caught our attention from the first time we met. Their approach to gamification of key corporate challenges, practical use in field experience and mindset were an immediate match with SBG Editions vision”.

Stay tuned to hear more about this in the months ahead. Linda, Stefano, Marco and Chris.

Another exciting game project underway...

Grasse, December 2022

SBG Editions have signed an Agreement to publish A Hexploration Adventure Game (Title to follow) set in the Thargos IP with Evan Halbert & Ryan Mauk

SBG Editions are thrilled to have signed an agreement to publish another exciting board game, originally the core mechanics are a brainchild of Evan and Ryan located in Portland in the USA. Indeed, they started working closely together on the core mechanics of this exciting game some time ago, which is a great fit for our growing game portfolio at SBG. The design, theme, revised game mechanics and future aesthetics will be carefully crafted to fit perfectly into the Thargos Gameworld setting, giving a unique feel and atmosphere, exploring the ruined city of Metbetoch (ancient Imperial City of Magic) with a host of challenges that await the parties of Heroes. We are very glad and humbled that Evan and Ryan agreed to be part of this opportunity to work together on such a great project.

Evan & Ryan comments: “We are very excited to work with Chris on this project. The world of Thargos and the city of Metbetoch provide the thematic set pieces and vision we needed to really help bring our design forward, grounded against the gritty backdrop of this specific time and place. We hope the exploration and magic of this intriguing, ruined city will feel relevant to the world's existing fans, and that the gameplay and storytelling will draw in folks who have yet to discover it.”

Chris Loizou, the CEO of SBG Editions adds: “what an exciting opportunity to further enrich our Thargos IP tabletop game range whilst striving for the same high standards we endeavour to maintain for all our games. The game design philosophy that Evan & Ryan adhere to, caught our attention from the first time we met Evan through playtests on our Heroes of Thargos card game and Ryan later online. Their rigor, systematic methodology and generally their knowledge of games but equally the fun these guys have designing games is truly contagious. They have since started fine-tuning some of the aspects of the game, adding new mechanics, stripping others out and really getting into the gameworld setting and emphasising some of the key themes which will allow for a more diversified & rich gaming experience plus we are starting to work on a whole raft of original thematic art that we are progressing in the background”.

Stay tuned to hear more about this in the months ahead. Evan, Ryan and Chris.

SBG Editions have signed an Agreement to publish Ascendia – Seasons of Thargos with Philipp Kehl

SBG Editions are thrilled to have signed an agreement to publish ‘Ascendia – Seasons of Thargos’, originally the core mechanics were a brainchild of Philipp Kiel from Germany. Indeed, we started working closely together on this exciting game which is a great fit for our growing game portfolio at SBG. The design, theme, game mechanic and overall aesthetic have been carefully crafted to fit perfectly into the Thargos Gameworld setting, giving a unique feel and atmosphere, far removed from the war that rages there but challenges await the fledgling heroes. We are glad and humbled that Philipp agreed to be part of this opportunity to work together on such a great project.

Philipp Kehl comments: “Ascendia originally was a standalone board game, that I designed with the goal to transport the freedom and excitement of open world RPG videogames to a 90 min traditional board game. When I met Chris at Spiel'21 in Essen, the rules were still a bit rough around the edges, but Chris instantly showed great interest and support for the idea, so it was an easy decision to start a collaboration and adapt the generic setting of the prototype to the fleshed-out world of Thargos. The past months have been an awesome experience - meeting and collaborating with Chris and the rest of his collective. The game has evolved dramatically, and I am convinced that we are in the middle of creating something extraordinary for all fantasy adventure board game enthusiasts!”

Chris Loizou, the CEO of SBG Editions adds: “what an amazing opportunity to further enrich our Thargos IP tabletop game range whilst striving for the same high standards we endeavour to maintain for all our games. Ascendia caught our eye from the first time we saw the prototype for it at Essen Spiele in 2021, and the playtest run-through by Philipp, plus subsequent playtests got us excited about working together. We have since started fine-tuning some of the aspects of the game, adding seasonal mechanics and a more diversified & rich gaming experience plus a whole raft of original thematic art that we can’t wait to share with you”.

Stay tuned to hear more about this in the months ahead. Philipp and Chris.

SBG Editions Sign Agreement to publish Nestlings with Tangerine Games

SBG Editions are thrilled to have signed an agreement to publish ‘Nestlings’, the brainchild of Brandon Ohmie from Tangerine Games. Indeed, we have started working closely together on this exciting game which is a great fit for our growing game portfolio at SBG. The design, theme, art, game mechanic and overall aesthetic have been carefully crafted and we are both glad and humbled that Tangerine Games have given us this opportunity to work together on such a great project.

Brandon Ohmie comments: “since first starting to design Nestlings nearly two years ago, it has always been my plan to create a tabletop board game experience that is both unique and thought-provoking, while also being rich in theme with beautiful artwork, and exceptional component quality. Partnering with Chris and SBG Editions gives Nestlings its best chance to captivate the community and become a title that both experienced and board gamers new to the hobby will enjoy playing time and time again. Working together with Chris in tying up loose ends and brainstorming new ideas for Nestlings is proving to be invaluable. I'm quite excited for what the future holds for Nestlings, Tangerine Games, and SBG Editions.”

Chris Loizou, the CEO of SBG Editions adds: “what an amazing opportunity to diversify our tabletop game range whilst striving for the same high standards we endeavour to maintain for all our games. Nestlings caught our eye from the first time we saw it, and the playtest run-through by Brandon just had us chomping at the bit to work together. We have since started fine-tuning some of the aspects of the game, but Brandon has done a sterling job at getting it this far already”.

Stay tuned to hear more about this in the months ahead. Brandon and Chris
