Thanks for Being a Valuable Part of Our Community
BostonFIG is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that celebrates independent game development in New England, across the United States, and around the globe. Our goal is to create an inclusive environment for everybody who enjoys and appreciates games in any shape or form. The organization seeks to support and showcase the efforts of independent game developers, as well as to nurture young aspiring game creators from diverse backgrounds.
BostonFIG is run by a volunteer team of people who truly love supporting indie game creation. We’ve been in operation for a decade, and we are deeply committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion as an essential part of our mission to foster the next generation of game creators.

Wise Wizard Games
Wise Wizard Games creates awesome games that are affordable for everyone. Their first game, Star Realms, a space combat deckbuilding game, exploded in popularity and won 7 Game of the Year awards. Star Realms is a top seller in hobby game stores around the world. Epic Card Game, a non-collectible strategy card game designed by Magic: the Gathering Hall of Famers, has draft, preconstructed and sealed gameplay packaged in a small deckbox. Hero Realms is a fantasy-themed deckbuilder with cooperative campaigns and boss battles.
Their newest game, Sorcerer, is a 2-4 player game where you construct your Sorcerer deck and battle for area control in Victorian London. Their games are known for being easy to learn while also having enough strategic depth for even the most advanced gamers. More information at whitewizardgames.com.

New Leaf Legal
Determined. Self-Motivated. Nimble. New Leaf Legal has been practicing these tenets each day for almost seven years. We understand that startups need to stay enthusiastic and on the cutting-edge of their industry, the same should apply to their approach to legal matters.
At New Leaf, we don’t just practice law. We like to think that we pursue Professional Passions™. We wouldn’t be here if we weren’t still excited about law! These passions naturally drive us to improve and educate ourselves on the latest developments and innovations in our areas of practice and personal interests. Whether it is sustainable business and exploring hybrid corporate structures, or alternative music publishing deals, each New Leaf attorney brings unique expertise in areas that truly intrigue and interest them. Thus, New Leaf can provide your company with a business affairs partner that is not only knowledgeable in the areas that will best suit your business’ needs, but one that speaks from the heart when serving you.
