This agreement, which aligns with Stonemaier's worldwide distribution plans, became effective as of March 1, 2022. Scott Morris, Director of Business Development for Gaming at GTS Distribution, had the following to say about the deal:

“Jamey and his team have developed some of the most beloved games in our industry including Wingspan, Scythe, Viticulture, and many more. Their focus on high quality games and gaming experiences are something we are happy to provide to our retailer customers to be successful with, in their stores.”

GTS Distribution and Stonemaier Games will also launch a new retailer program called the Stonemaier Fortress Program. The program will allow retailers to more easily preorder Stonemaier's titles via an opt-in for automatic preorders. A retailer's participation in the program will also guarantee that they can preorder three units (for Gold stores) or six units (for Platinum stores) of new Stonemaier games that will not be allocated.   

Stonemaier Games recently unveiled Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest, a new board game designed by Paolo Mori, which will go on preorder in March (see "'Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest'").
