Are you an author or a publisher?
Showcase your games on Marquoir
Your page, your games’ real boxes, your own words and where to buy them, right where players read the rules and keep score.
Who it’s for
Authors who publish their own games and publishers, small or large, with a board or card game on Marquoir, or one that could join it. The game must really exist: on sale, or funded, with a real box; never a prototype.
What you get
- Your pageYour logo, your introduction, your website and all your games, on a page in your name.
- The real boxAt the top of each of your games’ pages, instead of our drawing, with “Published by” and a link to your page.
- Where to buy itUp to five shop links per game, to the shops of your choice: your own, an independent shop, an affiliate link.
- Your word on the gameIts availability, a link to its official rules, a video, its designers and up to six photos of its components.
- Game of the weekEvery week, Marquoir features an author’s game on its home page.
- Your statisticsViews of your game pages and of your own page, clicks to your shops: anonymous counts, and a summary by email every month.
How it works
- Request accessYour publishing house or author name, your website, a contact and the games you publish. An email confirms the request.
- We checkEvery request is checked, then you receive an email to choose your password.
- Showcase your gamesLink your games to the catalogue, or suggest one that’s missing; add your page, your boxes and your links.
- Marquoir reviewsEvery change is reviewed before it goes live. You can see where it stands, and the reason if it’s turned down.
Join Marquoir as an author
You apply on the Authors space: a few details about you and your games, an email address to confirm, then we check.
Our commitments
- The rules and the score keeper are still written by Marquoir, in its own words, from the official rules: never copied from a rulebook.
- The official rules stay on your site: Marquoir links to them and never hosts them.
- When you give your shop links, they replace Marquoir’s affiliate links: never both at once.
- The author space is free, and Marquoir takes no commission on your sales, even through an affiliate link.
- A mistake on a page, a rules clarification? Report it: Marquoir fixes it, in its own words.
Frequently asked questions
My game isn’t on Marquoir yet: can I suggest it?
Yes, from your space, with a link to its official rules. Marquoir decides whether to add it and writes its page itself.
Can several of us manage it?
Yes: invite your team, up to ten people, each with their own account.
How do I send my players to Marquoir?
Each game has its own QR code, to print on the box or a flyer, and a badge to put on your website: both lead to its page.
What if I want to leave?
Remove a game from your list whenever you like. You can also export your data or delete your space: your games’ rules and score keepers stay on Marquoir.
