  • WHAT IS THE GREATER GAMES INDUSTRY CATALOG?WHAT IS THE GREATER GAMES INDUSTRY CATALOG?WGGICWGGICW is a reference for retailers, publishers, buyers, and distributors. The catalog is the only comprehensive collection of information on game publishers, manufacturers, and importers. Inside GGIC you will nd over 45,000 products, listing nearly 700 publishers and manufacturers. We endeavor to list all known products which the manufacturer states are currently in print and which are in general distribution in the USA, Canada, Europe, the UK, Austrialia and and other countris. In each Edition of GGIC there are 6,000 or more revisions and changes made before the catalog goes to print.

    The Product Spotlight is a feature b&w section to make nding new or featured products easier for the retailer or regular catalog user. Categorized by game type (Board Game, Miniatures Game, Card Gametes.), the Spotlight features an image of the new or featured product and the Company name for ease of nding their particular catalog page. (Since the catalog is alphabetized by company name, nding the new product is easier by the company name than by the product name.)

    Our Industry Features section presents articles that are salient to professionals in all three tiers of the Greater Games Industry. Retailers, distributors and publishers will enjoy insights written by industry professionals on a wide variety of topics. Also included in this section are company and product pro les, and other important announcements from important associations and sources within the industry.

    Listings are alphabetical and include their Standard Manufacturer Code. You should use these codes along with the product number when listing your products. All prices are the manufacturers suggested retail, or approximate retail value if no retail is suggested. Standard listings (free listings) may not exceed one page. The manufacturer will be noti ed if the listing is over and will be given the opportunity to edit or condense their listing by the submittal date, or upgrade to an Enhanced listing for $200.00 a year.

    Enhanced Listings appear along with the alphabetical standard listings but are upgraded to stand out with a company logo and capitalized company name. Publishers pay a fee to stand out a bit. Enhanced listings may exceed one page.
