⚒Game Designer?

⬇⬇🎲 Starting 2026, We Do Accept Game Submissions! 🃏 ⬇⬇

Zenwood is always excited to see bold, original tabletop games, especially those rooted in strong themes, clean mechanics, and genuine player experience.

But let’s set expectations clearly. We Do Not Review Pure “Ideas” Everyone has amazing ideas; the world is drowning in them. What matters is execution.

⬇ We only consider submissions that have:

• Clear proof of concept
• A functioning prototype
  
• At least 15–20 personal playtests already conducted
• Rules that have survived initial feedback and iteration

Your prototype doesn’t have to be beautiful. It just has to work.

⬇ How We Review

• Once submitted, we study your documents and media
• If the concept aligns with our publishing direction, we may request a physical prototype
• If required, we’ll discuss development possibilities, commercial scope, and next steps
• If the game isn’t the right fit, we’ll communicate that clearly and respectfully

We value creators who take their craft seriously, and we aim to respect your time in return.

⬇ Your Ownership

All rights to your game remain with you unless a separate publishing agreement is signed.
We treat every submission with confidentiality and do not share your files externally.

A Note to Designers

We don’t expect perfection. We expect effort.
If you’ve done the work and have something meaningful to show, we’re happy to look.
