A great game
deserves a great German edition!
We work with international publishers on German board game localization for the German-speaking European market. Our focus is on Asia — particularly China, Korea and Japan. Together, we explore translation, rulebook editing and the right publishing or licensing model for your game.
Let’s talk about your game
THREE COLLABORATION MODELS
The right approach for your idea.
These models describe possible forms of collaboration. Services, rights, timelines and fees are agreed separately for each project.
You publish.
We localise.
You remain the publisher and commission Azure on White to provide a defined German-language adaptation for a fixed total fee.
Roles and scopeMoreLess
The agreed scope may include translation, rules editing, proofreading or layout review. Manufacturing and sales remain with the partner unless otherwise agreed.
Payment: partner to Azure on White.

Publish together.
Azure on White and the partner bring the game to market together, with agreed contributions from both sides.
Contributions and responsibilitiesMoreLess
Tasks, funding and the allocation of costs, profits and losses are agreed before the project begins. No ownership or profit-sharing percentage applies automatically.
Funding and settlement: as agreed for the project.

Your game.
Our German edition.
Azure on White acquires clearly defined German-language publishing rights in return for an agreed flat fee.
Rights and publicationMoreLess
The term, sales territory, edition and responsibilities are defined separately. German describes the language, not an automatic sales territory. The licence fee does not imply an additional commitment to ongoing royalties.
Licence payment: Azure on White to the rights partner.

Before our first conversation
Which materials are useful?MoreLess
A short game introduction, rules or a sample, the source language, information on available language and territorial rights, and your intended timeframe. For services, text volume and editable files are also helpful.
Which target languages are the focus?MoreLess
German-language editions come first. Other target languages require separate review and agreement. The languages of this website do not constitute a promise of particular translation services.
Does an enquiry already mean a commitment?MoreLess
No. These models are starting points for a conversation, not completed agreements. Scope, rights, dates and commercial terms are settled only after a joint review.
