We Empower Independent Creators to Distribute Their Games
As game publishers ourselves, we know the struggles involved with making and distributing indie games, including everything from cash flow losses to increased production costs and tariff disruptions.
Finally, against all odds, you successfully create a retail-ready game with unique and engaging gameplay that is enhanced by incredible design — and then what happens? You have to promote and sell it in an industry that is growing rapidly.
In fact, according to Fortune Business Insights , “the [board game] market is projected to grow from USD 17.44 billion in 2026 to USD 39.70 billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 10.82% during the forecast period.”
As new indie board games flood the market, Stonemaier Games asked indie game publishers, “What Do You Need the Most?” The #1 answer was “time and resources to get the exposure they want.”
It’s challenging for indie publishers because major distributors won't take a chance on you unless you're a guaranteed hit, and small retailers don't have enough time to vet all the indie options that come their way (even when you drive there to meet with them personally and demo your game).

The Axinite Approach
Grows Your Exposure With Retail Placement
Local game shops, toy stores, and small retailers are often stretched too thin to discover new indie titles — no matter how good they are.
It’s difficult for publishers to forge new retail connections, and just as difficult to maintain them. Axinite provides a secure way to keep your connections organized.
Axinite Supply has developed a centralized platform where indie publishers (you) and retailers can connect, place and fulfill orders, process payments, and more.
While building new retail relationships, promoting the game and selling it is still entirely up to you, the Axinite platform amplifies your efforts and helps maximize the value of your work.
For example, when you make your initial pitch to retail stores, you can confidently say that you are backed by distribution. Retailers can set up ONE account, and order from a wide range of games, including your own.
Essentially, we remove all unnecessary friction, making it easy and convenient for retailers to see your game, promote it, and stock it — all through the Axinite Supply portal.
As you and the other indie publishers establish new contacts and add them to the Axinite network, more retailers will see your game, meaning that we all grow the indie side of gaming together.

Never. Creative control stays with you. We may offer feedback if you ask, but we're here to distribute your vision, not alter it.
