Not abstract consulting

Hands-on business development for tabletop games that need momentum.

Small and mid-sized publishers who need more reach, partners or commercial structure.

First step

A free consultation to look at the game, the market and the realistic next move.

What we help with

Commercial support where games meet markets.

01

Localization & licensing

Turn international interest into real conversations. We help publishers identify and approach localization partners, prepare commercial terms, structure offers and present titles in a way that makes sense for regional publishers.

Useful when you have
  • A catalogue with untapped language potential
  • Crowdfunding comments asking for local editions
  • Older titles that could work in new territories
  • No clear route into international localization conversations
Typical support: partner outreach, pricing structure, pitch material, follow-up, deal framing and commercial advice – and once the deal is signed, contracts, translation, files, production and logistics through to the finished edition.
02

Distribution & retail outreach

Get your games in front of distributors and retailers who actually fit. We help publishers approach distributors, specialist retailers and crowdfunding-friendly stores with clear product information and realistic expectations.

Useful when you need
  • New distribution channels
  • Retailer-ready product sheets
  • Wholesale and retail offer structure
  • Targeted outreach before, during or after launch
Typical support: distributor outreach, retailer lead work, catalogue presentation, commercial terms, follow-up and sales support.
03

Convention representation

Be present at important shows — even when you cannot be there yourself. Serotonin Games can represent your titles, show games to relevant partners, handle meetings and create new commercial opportunities on your behalf.

Useful when you want to
  • Meet distributors, publishers, retailers or localization partners
  • Have your games presented at conventions and trade fairs
  • Share convention costs across represented publishers
  • Test interest before committing to larger show investments
Typical support: pre-show booking, meeting scheduling, product presentation, follow-up reports, samples coordination and post-show introductions.
04

Crowdfunding & retail pledge support

Crowdfunding is not only about backers. It can also generate retail interest, localization signals, partner conversations and long-term market data.

Useful when you need
  • Retail pledge outreach
  • Retailer communication
  • Campaign positioning
  • Post-campaign sales opportunities
Typical support: retail pledge setup, retailer outreach, campaign communication input, demand analysis and post-campaign follow-up.
05

Business development for stuck projects

Some games are good — they just need movement. If a project has stalled, lacks the right partner or needs a clearer commercial route, we help identify the next practical step.

Useful when
  • The game is finished but not moving
  • The publisher has stock but no plan
  • A campaign needs a better commercial structure
  • Localization or distribution has stalled
Typical support: project review, market route planning, outreach strategy, commercial positioning and hands-on follow-up.
06

Publisher & partner introductions

Warm introductions to publishers, manufacturers and commercial partners that actually fit your catalogue.

Useful when
  • You want to co-publish or license a title
  • You need manufacturing or print-run partners
  • You are looking for co-development partners
Typical support: catalogue matching, warm introductions, licensing and co-publishing conversations.
07

Production & manufacturing

We manage production and logistics for your editions – from print-ready files to delivered stock – backed by 10+ years of board game manufacturing experience.

Useful when
  • A new edition or reprint that needs to be produced
  • A localization deal where files and production need handling
  • No in-house capacity for production and logistics
Typical support: production planning, print-ready files, coordination with printers, and logistics through to delivery.
Who this is for

Built for publishers who need more than advice.

Small and mid-sized publishers

Good games, but not enough time, network or internal bandwidth to chase every market yourself.

Crowdfunding publishers

Campaigns where retail, localization or distribution conversations should be part of the strategy.

Backlist potential

Older titles, reprints, expansions or regional opportunities that deserve a second commercial look.

Convention support

Publishers who want their games represented at shows without sending their own team every time.

How we work

Clear steps. Practical follow-up.

Step 1

We look at the opportunity

Not every title fits every market. We start by understanding the game, the publisher, the terms and the realistic route forward.

Step 2

We prepare the right material

Partners need clear information: price, product specs, availability, language dependency, MSRP, margins, assets and market fit.

Step 3

We approach the right people

The goal is not to spam the industry. The goal is targeted outreach where the game has a real reason to be discussed.

Step 4

We follow up

Most opportunities are not created by one email. We help keep the conversation moving and turn interest into next steps.

Why Serotonin Games?

Because publishing a good game is only part of the job.

It is also about finding the right partners, entering the right markets, handling the right conversations and knowing when an opportunity is worth pursuing.

Serotonin Games works across publishing, localization, distribution, retail, crowdfunding and convention representation — with a practical, relationship-driven approach.

FAQ

Good to know before we talk.

Do I have to sign an exclusive agreement?

No. We work non-exclusively, with no lock-in. You keep full control of your rights and are free to work with other partners alongside us.

Do you handle the work after a deal is signed?

Yes. Contracts, translation, files, production and logistics – we can take it all the way to the finished edition.

What does the first call cost?

Nothing. The intro call is free and without obligation. We look at your catalogue, markets and stock, and tell you honestly whether and how we can help.

Who will I actually be working with?

Directly with me, Lasse – no junior consultants and no outsourced advice.

Which markets do you cover?

Worldwide. We work with localization partners, distributors and retailers in many countries, and focus on the markets where your games have the best chance.

Can you help with games that are already on the market?

Yes. Older titles and slow-moving stock are often a good fit – a new language edition or a new territory can give a game a second life.

Do you work with crowdfunded games?

Yes. We help secure retail buy-in for Kickstarter and Gamefound campaigns.
