Quartermaster Direct provides worldwide sales and distribution services for tabletop games as a consolidator. We are a subsidiary of Quartermaster Logistics, one of the largest Kickstarter fulfillment companies in the US. If you have a game that you would like to be available through online stores and local game stores around the world, we’re happy to help. Adding your game to our catalog means that it will be seen by large distribution centers and local businesses that may not normally work with small publishers. We give you the opportunity to sell your products, and we grow with you as a company. Unlike traditional game distribution, Quartermaster Direct lets you decide the amount of money you want to receive for each unit we sell on your behalf.
