AEG
AEG was formed almost thirty years ago to publish Shadis magazine. In the mid-1990s AEG co-created Legend of the Five Rings.
AEG has focused on board, card and dice games. We’ve created huge hits like Smash Up and Love Letter, and recent innovative games like Mystic Vale, Thunderstone, Space Base, Cat Lady, Tiny Towns, Cubitos, and many others!
We are successful at crowdfunding, including huge campaigns for Thunderstone Quest, Edge of Darkness, Dead Reckoning, Valley of the Kings Premium, Meeples & Monsters, Rolling Heights, and Shake that City. We are especially proud of our relationship with Flatout Games, who created Point Salad, TEN, Calico, Cascadia, Verdant and several other titles which AEG publishes or co-publishes with Flatout.
AEG’s International Business Division works with partners around the world to create localized versions of our games, and with other publishers to deliver localized versions of their games too.
AEG is based in the United States and has a virtual workforce distributed all over the world. AEG staff work from Greece, Canada, the United Kingdom, and several US States.
Our company is firmly committed to supporting a diverse workplace and a diverse community of gamers. We believe Black Lives Matter. We celebrate people of all genders and identities, all races, cultures and creeds.

Cards Against Humanity
Cards Against Humanity is a game made of cards. You put the cards together to make jokes. It’s pretty stupid!
We made the first version to play at a New Year’s Eve party. People seemed to like it, so we put it up on Kickstarter in 2010. It made a lot of money. We couldn’t believe it. Since then, we’ve done a lot of stupid things with the money, like mail people poop, sell a car for $97, sue Elon Musk, and dig a hole for no reason. We also donated a bunch of money to charity because we felt bad.

Japan Consulate
This office was established in 1993 in response to a significant increase in business activity between Japan and the Great Lakes region. Located in downtown Detroit’s GM Renaissance Center, the Consulate serves and protects the interests of Japanese residents and companies of Michigan and Ohio.

This region also boasts active cultural and grassroots exchanges, including many sister-city relationships and Japan-related events and festivals held annually. Local interest in the Japanese language also remains strong, with nearly 9,000 students of Japanese enrolled at Michigan and Ohio K-12 schools and universities.
