We Help Retailers Infuse Their Inventory With Indie Games

As a friendly local shop, we know you wish you had access to fresh, new games from indie creators. But, you’re already stretched too thin — and while you’d love to research and demo interesting titles, there just aren’t enough hours in the day. 

Especially when you’re worried that a popular indie game in your store might go out of print after the first run or that a successful Kickstarter might diminish in-store sales . 

Believe it or not, hobby stores account for the largest portion of board game sales ( 41% of global game distribution in 2026 ), and the unfortunate truth is that almost all of them buy from massive logistics distributors in an attempt to optimize day-to-day processes and receive multi-pallet shipments to keep freight costs low.

As a result, you’re stuck following the rules outlined by distribution giants, leaving you with the same mainstream game options as every other retailer and big box store. 

It’s challenging for retailers because even if you’re ready to bring in some indie titles, it means  you have to be ready to manage numerous, individual ordering relationships, remember how and when to reorder, and determine which games will actually sell.

Why choose Axinite?

Axinite Supply is an Indie Game Distributor.

We help retailers by connecting them directly to small, independent publishers via one, easy-to-manage account. Through the Axinite Portal, retailers can instantly view the catalog to see the latest indie game titles, order directly from publishers, and manage everything from financial information, orders, and fulfillment.

Connection is Our Goal.

Axinite Supply connects retail stores with the quality indie games they want — acting as a trusted bridge between creators and local retailers. The Axinite Supply catalog only contains games that are complete and retail ready, and we do not distribute games with AI-generated content or art.

Passionate About Games.

Gamers and creators ourselves, the team at Axinite Supply wants to help the indie side of gaming thrive. We genuinely love great games and work hard to get them in front of the people who will too. Axinite’s hope is that by uniting retailers and publishers, we can build a tool that slingshots indie gaming to the next level.

The Axinite Approach

Saves Retailers Time With Curated Exposure

Managing accounts with big distributors is already demanding — let alone balancing multiple small creator accounts on top of that.

Axinite Supply streamlines the entire process by allowing you to order everything you need with one account. It even cuts out the exploratory phase entirely, since the Axinite Supply team has already tested and vetted every game in our catalog.

Games are vetted and labeled with badges that indicate whether the game has been further verified by the Axinite team — including a program, run by founder Talon Durrant, where any game marked “Talon’s Pick” is personally vouched for, and he’s willing to stake his reputation on it. 

The Axinite Supply team is constantly looking for new publishers to join the catalog, and will let you know when they join, giving you an edge on the competition.

With an online catalog of ready-to-play games, Axinite makes it fast, easy, and convenient for you to get quality indie games on your shelves.

While orders are processed through the Axinite portal, you retain your relationships with publishers — in fact, ordering through Axinite supports publishers as much as ordering from them directly. Axinite Supply exists to help publishers work together, not earn commission. 

We also have an easy express ordering system that allows you to upload a CSV straight from your inventory management software. Our team is also building tools to help remind you when to order and even predict when you’ll need more.
