Roseville, MN based Fantasy Flight Publishing was founded in 1995 by its CEO Christian T. Petersen. Since the release of its first game product Twilight Imperium in 1997, the company has been doing business as Fantasy Flight Games ("FFG").  Since that time, FFG has grown to become one of the biggest names in the hobby games industry, being a marketplace leader in board games, and maintaining strong businesses in the card game, roleplaying game, and miniature game categories. 

FFG is known for its quality of game components (often enhanced with highly detailed plastic miniatures and beautiful artwork), innovative gameplay, professional dedication to customer service, and a cutting-edge online presence providing information, and support to its many products.

FFG's best-known titles include games based on licenses such as Battlestar Galactica, World of Warcraft, and The Lord of the Rings, proprietary titles such a Arkham Horror and Descent: Journey's in the Dark as well as re-releases of classic titles such as Cosmic Encounter, Fury of Dracula, and DungeonQuest. 

In 2008, FFG formed an exclusively partnership with industry-leading UK-Based Games Workshop ("GW"), to represent its acclaimed IP's "Warhammer" and "Warhammer 40K" in the hobby games market, publishing new versions of classic titles such a Talisman and Horus Heresy as well as brand new games such a Warhammer Invasion and Chaos In the Old World.
