Indie Boards and Cards is the maker of The Resistance and Coup (see "A New 'Coup' and a New 'The Resistance'") Action Phase recently released Kodama (see "'Kodama' from Action Phase Games"), and is planning a Tara McPherson game (see "Enter Tara McPherson's Dream World in 'Dreamwell'") and a new deck building game (see "Cooperative Deck Building Game of Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy").
Distribution will continue through Publisher Services International (PSI) for both hobby and broader channels; PSI previously handled both Indie Boards and Cards and Action Phase.
Action Phase’s Travis R. Chance and Nick Little are joining Indie Boards and Cards as Director of Product Development & Marketing and Director of Product Development & Manufacturing, respectively.
Indie Board and Cards will operate from Oakland, California, as it has in the past, with a regional office in Indianapolis, IN.
Indie Boards and Cards CEO Travis Worthington explained his reasons for wanting to do the deal. "Indie Boards and Cards was at a critical point,” he said. “I just couldn’t keep up with our existing business and continue to grow the company without bringing on a very talented group of game designers and developers. Travis R. Chance and Nick Little are excellent additions, with a proven track record of making great games and providing great convention coverage and customer support."
