About Glenridge Games

Glenridge Games reads the tabletop and card game industry’s news so you do not have to. Each weekday an editor goes through publisher announcements, distributor notices, public-company filings, trade-press reporting and court records, picks what matters to people who make, distribute and sell games, and writes it up in our own words. Every item says why it matters and links to whoever reported it first.

Every Monday morning the best of the week arrives in one email, The Turn Order. It is written for publishers and designers, distributors, store owners and managers, and the people who work with them.

What this is, and what it is not

This is a trade publication. We cover the business: what a publisher’s licence change means for stores, what a tariff does to a print run, how a distributor’s terms move a store’s margin, what an acquisition does to a catalogue. We do not publish game reviews, deck guides, rules explainers, spoiler coverage, convention cosplay or buying guides. Other sites do that well and they are written for players.

Where we cover

Games are a global trade with a North American retail core. Canada has its own section at /region/canada/, because shipping, duties and distribution differ for Canadian buyers, and every story says which country’s rules or prices apply. We also cover publishers and trade events outside North America where they change what North American stores and publishers face.

Who edits it

Glenridge Games is edited and published by Christopher Ross, a Canadian web practitioner based in Fort Erie, Ontario, who runs thisismyurl.com. The editor is accountable for what runs here.

Two interests are disclosed plainly. The publisher’s own business advertises on this site, and the publisher is planning a tabletop game store in St. Catharines, Ontario. The advertising is covered under interests we disclose and the store under our standards for this site. The store is named on any story where retail is the subject.

How it works

We use software to help read and sort the day’s news and to check drafts against their sources. Every story is checked against its sources and against our written standards before it is published, and the checks it has to pass depend on what kind of story it is. We do not publish unchecked machine output.
