Publishers that Do Right by People

Given that certain publishers (we'll call them Bolden Gell to protect their identity) have gained infamy for throwing their designers and players under the bus, I recently asked the Solo Board Gamers group on Facebook about the publishers they trust to do right by people.

I have a 10 year background in brand strategy, and I thought it might be useful to share the template I used when writing those briefs. Here is a link to the brief template , and you're more than welcome to take it and modify it for your needs! Here's a brief outline of each element: Set: This was mostly a wayfinding piece of information. I wanted Lauren to be able to easily see what part of the game each card "belonged" to.
