The Agency for gaming licenses was founded in June 2014 by Michel Matschoss and Michael Tschiggerl.

Our goal is to revive good and timeless games from well known authors and make them accessible again to new generations - as classic board games or for the digital games market.
This means we care as an agency for the rights and licensing of games. We want to be a trustworthy and reliable partner for publishers by offering new and classic games and – where necessary – editorial support.

In addition, we offer ourselves as an author representative and develop Taylor-made games for industry and commerce.
On this page, we want to give you an idea: about us, about authors and selected games.

You own the rights to already released games, but have no contact with publishers? You have a promising game developed, but no time to present it to publishers? Talk to us. Smart Cookie Games is well networked in the games industry. We take care of confidence to your game and fulfill your interests.

Our first client is the Alex Randolph Games LLC. On behalf of Michael Katz, Alex Randolph's nephew and heir, Smart Cookie Games oversees the rights and licenses of Alex Randolph’s games repertoire.

We can offer over 100 games of Alex Randolph for the publication. On these pages we regularly present a small selection. For the overall portfolio or selected title you are welcome to contact us.
