What Deep Print Games does
Deep Print Games GmbH is a Berlin-based board game publisher founded in 2020 by six well-known industry veterans, registered at Amtsgericht Berlin (HRB 214554 B) and led by managing director Matthias Nagy. The company develops tabletop board games from first prototype through finished product in-house, leveraging a named editorial team (Peter Eggert, Moritz Bornkast) and collaborating with award-winning designers such as Stefan Feld, Wolfgang Kramer, Michael Kiesling, Leo Colovini, Karl Lange, and Rita Modl, alongside illustrators including Franz Vohwinkel, Dennis Lohausen, Annika Heller, and Michael Menzel.
Its catalog spans family, two-player, expert/connoisseur, card, dice, communication, and solo board games, with flagship titles including Renature (published in 12 languages), Civolution, Skybridge, Deckers, Lumicora, Bounce It!, Rival Cities, and Under the Mango Tree. The technology layer consists of a proprietary companion mobile application (the 'Deep Print Games App'), a web-based rule download library, and standard third-party infrastructure (1&1 IONOS hosting, PayPal checkout, Brevo email, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, embedded YouTube explainer videos).
Deep Print Games monetizes through three channels: (1) wholesale and trade sales to a worldwide network of more than 20 regional publishers and distributors (Pegasus Spiele for DACH, Capstone/Gigamic for English/French markets, Mandoo for Korea, Matagot for France/China, 999 Games for Benelux, CMON Japan, Albi, White Goblin, etc.) who license and localize its designs; (2) direct-to-consumer sales at flagship industry trade fairs such as SPIEL Essen and via its own web shop; and (3) licensing royalties on IP such as Renature, Roaring 20s, Cubaneo, and Bounce It! for international editions. Pricing is set per partner and per title; no public list pricing is disclosed. End customers are board game consumers across family, hobbyist, and gateway segments, while business customers are international board game publishers seeking fresh, well-developed designs with strong art and editorial support.
