    One Thousand Ratings in One Month

    We always try to make games that are easy to get to the table, but this is absurd: Just one month after customers started receiving copies of Wingspan Pocket, the game already has over 1,000 ratings on BoardGameGeek. People are getting the game and actually playing it right away--this is a publisher's dream! https://stonemaiergames.com/one-thousand-ratings-in-one-month/

    4 Examples of Good, Bad, and Mixed Communication from Our Iceland Trip

    I'm always fascinated by how someone handles communication when things don't go as planned, and we had a few such situations arise during our recent Iceland trip. Here's what happened, how the communication was handled, and what I learned from it as a creator. https://stonemaiergames.com/4-examples-of-good-bad-and-mixed-communication-from-our-iceland-trip/

    A Surprising Opinion About Promos (and Game Store Customers)

    I follow Games Unlimited PGH (@gamesunlimitedpgh) on Instagram, and Kylie frequently offers really helpful retailer perspectives for publishers to consider. One of his recent videos (actually a repost from a few years ago) was both surprising and insightful in a few different ways, as Kylie reveals that he--a very successful retailer--does not like promos. https://stonemaiergames.com/a-surprising-opinion-about-promos-and-game-store-customers/

    This Question About Our Games Stumped Me

    On Sunday afternoon I received an email with a question that stumped me. I knew the answer, but I was at a complete lack of resources to provide an adequate response. The question was, “Do you make any games other than Wingspan?” https://stonemaiergames.com/this-question-about-our-games-stumped-me/

    The Proof-of-Play Model: My Thoughts

    I recently read an interesting announcement on Board Game Wire that Scott Brady (co-designer of one of my favorite party games, Caution Signs, along with some others I really enjoy like Boop and Hues & Cues), is trying a new “proof-of-play” model of publishing through his company, A Game Studio. Their goal and methodology is to make a single, small print run of selected games “to generate real-world sales, player feedback, and retail validation before presentation to larger publishing partners.” https://stonemaiergames.com/the-proof-of-play-model-my-thoughts/

    Gen Con 2026: Stonemaier Games and 2 Hidden Gems

    Welcome to Gen Con week! In a similar way to Essen Spiel, the games, announcements, and events at Gen Con attract attention well beyond the tens of thousands of attendees (which is both a lot of people and also a very small percentage of people who play games worldwide). https://stonemaiergames.com/gen-con-2026-stonemaier-games-and-2-hidden-gems/

    What Puts You Over the Edge to Buy/Back a Game?

    Have you ever been on the fence about buying or backing a game? You're following along, you've watched some playthroughs and reviews, you have trust in the publisher, and you can afford the price. The game intrigues you, but you're just not sure yet. What questions do you ask to put you over the edge? https://stonemaiergames.com/what-puts-you-over-the-edge-to-buy-back-a-game/
