Argentum has been a member of Spiel-direkt-eG since 2013.

“Why another publishing house?” was one of the questions Roman Mathar asked himself when he founded Argentum Verlag in 2004. Since then, Argentum has consistently followed its own path, publishing games by renowned authors such as Michael Schacht as well as absolute newcomers such as Aaron Haag. Trying out new things is part of Argentum’s system, and innovative game mechanisms are constantly being introduced. The aim is to make games that are interesting for both casual and frequent players.

Argentum also focuses on player interaction—from strategy games where you can only win if you keep an eye on what the others are doing, to the classic “Seenot im Rettungsboot” (Distress in a Lifeboat), where most moves are decided by majority vote. The game materials are all high quality, with many wooden pieces made especially for the game.

This approach has since been recognized with several national and international awards.
