About

Indie Game Studios is a publisher of high-quality board and card games in the hobby game industry. It comprises Indie Boards & Cards and Stronghold Games. Indie Boards & Cards started in 2009 with the hand-made release of 100 copies of Triumvirate. Over the years, we have had the good fortune to work with many great game designers, illustrators, graphic designers, manufacturers, foreign publishers, and thousands of retailers to expand beyond our humble beginnings. By focusing on the simple motto of “Making games that people enjoy playing,” Indie Boards & Cards has become a multi-million-dollar business with over one million games sold. Indie Boards & Cards’ best-known titles include The Resistance, Coup, Aeon’s End, and Flash Point Fire Rescue. Since 2009, Stronghold Games has released many highly-regarded games, including the best-selling “Survive: Escape From Atlantis!”, the most innovative deck-building game, “Core Worlds”, the hit game line of “Space Cadets”, and the #6 ranked board game (according to BoardGameGeek.com fans) of all time, Terraforming Mars, as well as many others. In August 2018 at Gen Con Stronghold Games and Indie Boards & Cards (IB&C) announced a merger. The third brand, Action Phase Games, already owned by IB&C, the combined company, is known as Indie Game Studios.
