We are big believers in complete transparency. When we say that our in-house titles are 100% designed, developed, and produced in North America we really mean it! We have worked incredibly hard to find manufacturers and creative professionals that actually make the finished product in the country they are based out of. We have currently developed relationships with manufacturers and creative professionals in both the USA and Canada. We are certain to advertise the appropriate country of origin on each of our titles.

At OLG, we take the term "American-made" extremely seriously because of what it means to us. As an American-made product:

• It strengthens the American economy and supports Small Businesses. Every dollar that stays within the US and circulates among Small Businesses can then be spent once again in the local community, thus continuing to create jobs and opportunities for others.

• It has a significantly decreased environmental impact in terms of transportation. These products are created and shipped within the same continent, limiting the amount of fuel required to reach a port and be further distributed.

• It follows strict labor laws and regulations surrounding the manufacturing process. The average American is much more familiar with the standards an American manufacturer must follow to ensure their workers are treated fairly and work in safe conditions.

• It promotes self-reliance as a nation. If we have learned anything through the supply chain shortages over the last few years, it is that it can be incredibly frustrating to rely on another country across the ocean to provide basic consumer products. By supporting American-made products, we show manufacturers and service providers that there is a need/desire to bolster those capabilities thus creating additional jobs and economic benefits in our own nation.

• We can rest assured that our investment is not supporting foreign governments that are in opposition to the US and its values. Many wars are no longer fought with tanks and bullets but through economic positioning. We want to do our best to avoid supporting nations that may stand to be economic opponents of the US.

Our shipping has been carefully calculated utilizing the best service in the industry to price shipping as low as possible for the size and weight of our products. Unfortunately, for products over 15.9oz, the price jumps dramatically. Since nearly all of our games with the necessary shipping materials exceed this threshold, we’ve done our best to set fair at-cost flat rates to avoid any unnecessary surprises to the buying experience. Orders that weigh 15.9oz or less are $5.99, and orders that weigh 16oz or more are $9.99. We’ll continue to look for ways to reduce this cost!

To most efficiently use our flat rate shipping, consider purchasing multiple products at once to help reduce the overall cost per unit.

Yes! We are working to build a robust network of local game stores across the nation. As we continue to develop these relationships, we intend to add a feature to purchase online and have the ability to pick up your purchase the same day at a local store near you. This will also remove the cost of shipping from your order.

We’re strong supporters of American small businesses. Limiting the availability of our products to our organic e-commerce platform and utilizing relationships with local game stores, allows for more of the profit to remain with the hard-working small business and provide a more personal customer experience. Unfortunately, without a very high volume of orders and/or unreasonably high margins charged to the customer, it tends to be incredibly challenging to grow a small business using that platform.

Absolutely! We love learning about new games and helping other developers. If you have an idea you’d like to share, please send us an email at connect@oakloungegames.com with a short description and sell sheet. From there, we’ll schedule a playtest and discuss more!

Of course! We are always looking to grow our list of talented creative professionals!

Definitely! We are happy to work with anyone who is interested in purchasing copies of our titles. It doesn’t matter if you are a brick-and-mortar retailer, online retailer, cafe, library, etc. The more people we can share our titles with to promote people genuinely connecting with one another through tabletop games, the better!
