Fantasy Flight Games

American publishing house for games that started out in 1997 with Twilight Imperium, an interstellar conquest game that follows the tradition of Axis & Allies. Under the guidance of Christian T. Petersen, leading manager and author of the company, in 10 years it reached a dominant position in the area of the adventure games, with many succesfull titles. One of its most particular features is to combine mechanisms and elements typically used in the european tradition of games with materials and themes loved by the american market. This productive choise could be due to the double nationality of Petersen (he is both american and danish). Among the best well known products are the games taken from the famous videogames (Warcraft, Starcraft, Doom) and the games inspired by literature or movies (The Lord of the Rings).
