Indie RPG publisher Galileo Games, best known for Bulldogs, Kingdom of Nothing, Mortal Coil, and the live action Zombie Horror game Shelter in Place has announced a merger with Brooklyn Indie Games, who have produced board and card games in addition to RPGs.
Brooklyn Indie Games, a boutique tabletop role-playing, board, and card game publisher, is merging with Galileo Games, publisher of fiction and tabletop role-playing games. The Brooklyn Indie Games brand will continue as an imprint under the Galileo Games label. Brooklyn Indie Games owner Tim Rodriguez will be joining Galileo Games as Vice President, Galileo Games’ Brennan Taylor will remain as President.
By bringing on the board game production and design expertise of Brooklyn Indie Games, Galileo Games plans to expand their footprint in the hobby games market, producing innovative card and board games to complement and expand the role-playing games they already offer. Galileo views this as a merger of equals, and the Galileo corporate identity will survive by virtue of its longer history and greater name recognition. With the additional experience and manpower of two companies becoming one, Galileo plans to increase their production schedule and offer a wider variety of products through the retail and direct sales channels.
“Brooklyn Indie is excited to join with Galileo Games,” said new Galileo Games Vice President Tim Rodriguez. “They’re a significant plyer in the industry, having been around since 1995, and Brennan is personally responsible for many innovations that help the indie games industry run as smoothly as it does today.”
“I am so pleased to have Tim Rodriguez joining Galileo Games,” said Galileo Games President Brennan Taylor. “Tim is one of the best card game designers in the industry, and having him developing our line of board ad card game products will make Galileo more competitive in the market. Tim is also a good friend and a person whose interests and business sensibilities are extremely compatible with my own. This is going to be a great partnership, and I’m looking forward to what Galileo will be coming up with as we move into 2017.”
Between the two of them, Brennan taylor and Tim Rodriguez bring over 30 years of game design and production experience to the merged company.
