The publishing house Boardgame Atelier was founded in April 2024 by Maximilian Maria Thiel, initially with the aim of releasing an expansion for the game “La Famiglia.”

The founding of the publishing house was also facilitated by the fact that the game La Famiglia won the prestigious As d’Or award in the Expert category in Cannes in February 2024.

A new edition of Nippon, a fast-paced economic game, will be released in fall 2025. Players control “zaibatsu”: huge conglomerates of interconnected companies that drive the Japanese economy during the industrial revolution.

Our team of hard-working helpers has been growing since the publishing house was founded, because Boardgame Atelier is much more than just a small publishing house… We have long since grown into a big family!
