Renegade Game Studios, an innovative American game company headquartered in Escondido, California, is at the forefront of creating and publishing a diverse range of gaming products, including board games, card games, role-playing games, and more recently, jigsaw puzzles featuring art from their acclaimed games.

Established in 2014 by Scott Gaeta, a seasoned industry veteran and former co-founder of Cryptozoic Entertainment, Renegade Game Studios quickly made a name for itself in the gaming world. Initially utilizing traditional methods to finance their game publications from 2014 to 2017, the company pivoted towards leveraging the power of community funding platforms like Kickstarter starting in 2018. This strategic shift allowed Renegade Game Studios to embark on ambitious projects such as Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid, Scott Pilgrim Miniatures the World, and the latest addition, Vampire: The Masquerade Rivals Expandable Card Game.

By embracing crowdfunding, Renegade Game Studios has been able to engage directly with their passionate community of gamers, bringing larger licensed game projects to life and pushing the boundaries of creativity in the gaming industry. Their foray into jigsaw puzzles further demonstrates their commitment to expanding their product offerings and providing unique gaming experiences to players of all ages.

As Renegade Game Studios continues to push the boundaries of innovation and creativity in the gaming world, they remain dedicated to delivering high-quality, immersive gaming experiences that captivate audiences and redefine the way we engage with games.
