# **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. ## How to Submit [Submit Your Game](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIHANc14f92_5Ebqy424ABD4bCBLQfhh276lmSTNV1jvndMg/viewform?usp=header)
