New Indie Board Games with ION’s P3 Support
At ION Game Design, we believe in the power of original ideas — and we know that sometimes, turning a great game concept into a polished, publishable product can feel overwhelming. That’s where our P3 support service comes in.
Through P3 (Pitch, Polish, Publish), we’re partnering with brilliant new voices in game design to help bring their unique board games to life. From strategic card-based combat to political ideologies and puzzly animal battles, we’re thrilled to showcase three standout titles currently in development.
Here’s what’s coming soon from the next generation of board game creators:

Supporting Indie Game Creators Through P3
With each of these games, we’re helping the designers refine their mechanics, improve gameplay balance, and prepare their launches for the public. P3 gives creators the tools, feedback, and production guidance they need to go from prototype to published.
