Surveys

GAMA has started doing surveys to gather information for its members to use when making their business decisions.

If you are a member and can not see the survey results to download (a few sections down the page), please sign-in. After you sign in, you should see the files.

Handbooks

GAMA publishes two educational handbooks. The Manufacturers Handbook was developed by the GAMA Wholesale Division and counsels publishers on how to deal with distributors and how to make their products appealing for sale. A must for new publishers who have not dealt with distributors before and for established ones who would like advice in this area.

The Retailers Handbook was developed by the GAMA Retail Division. This book covers all aspects of running a hobby game store and was authored by experienced and successful retailers with aim towards helping new businesses find the road to success.

Both books are free to all GAMA members. Non-members may purchase them at a cost of $20 for The Manufacturers Handbook and $50 for The Retailers Handbook.

Brochures

A variety of brochures are available for community use. "Questions and Answers about Role-Playing Games" is aimed largely at parents who have concerns about the nature of these games. It is also a useful tool for professionals who have to deal with these questions.

"Dealing with Parents" is aimed at retailers who may have parents who are concerned about their children playing hobby games. It is a tool to help retailers sensitively answer the parent's questions and allay fears.

The Games in Education Committee has produced several brochures highlighting games that teach certain skill sets. Each brochure has a slightly different focus.  For more on Games In Education and to download these brochures, please visit the Games In Education page.
