We are moderately open for submissions. Our pipeline of projects is very much full, but we will still have a look at interesting submissions and shuffle things around if you come to us with a truly great design.
WHAT TYPE OF GAMES WE SEEK
We are looking for medium-heavy games that convey a fully immersive experience and are thematically rich.
We value strategic complexity and a deep game experience, therefore we are not afraid of playing games that last several hours and reading well-written but long rulebooks. As a guideline for stuff we like, think about 18xx games, board-wargames or titles published by American GMT Games or Dutch publisher Splotter.
What definitively to avoid are party games, role-play games, abstract games, pure “german” games and whatever lasts less than 2 hours.
HOW TO SUBMIT
Send a brief description of your game and the rulebook to this email: info@gothagames.co.uk
You will typically hear from us within a few weeks if we are interested in learning more. Do not mail a prototype to us unless we request it.
If we like your design we will contact you and arrange to receive a prototype.
Note that your game must be fully created, polished and properly play tested. Artwork and graphic design are not important as far as the game is playable as a prototype. The same goes with the rulebook as far as we are able to figure out how to play the game.
All things said, we look forward to reviewing your work!
