Cheese Weasel Logistics, LLC was founded on the core philosophy of making gaming easier. Initially focused on game accessories, the 2006 season brought an expansion into game design. The approach has not changed from the company’s original philosophy of a collaborative business model and industry approach. Included in this approach is product synergy with peer companies, logistical support, and programs to enhance and develop market presence for small and start-up companies.

Cheese Weasel Logistics products are designed from a comprehensive and holistic perspective – taking into consideration the components common to game types and systems, combined needs for storage, transportation and accessibility, and the audience particular to various games and play styles. Cheese Weasel games take the same approach by converging different gaming aspects into a new game models.
Within the gaming community, Cheese Weasel Logistics has created and run synergy programs with peer companies. Some focus on one-on-one product synergy between our accessories and particular game systems. Others programs, with a larger scope, bring multiple companies together during conventions to enhance product visibility and grow the base of customers visiting small and/or new exhibitor booths. The success of these programs has been exciting!

Cheese Weasel Logistics has established an enthusiastic fan base and a host of fun and effective partnerships within its first years of operation. 2005 saw the expansion of the product line, more custom products for popular game systems such as WizKids’ Pirates(TM) and Fantasy Flight Games’ Call of Cthulhu(TM) and the consolidation of our distribution and order fulfillment services to make the company more visible and our products more easily accessible. 2006 was exciting as well with the introduction of two original games designed by the Weasels themselves.

Throughout the adventure of starting, running, and growing a game company, we have had the good fortune to meet many wonderful people, both customers and in peer companies. They have been drivers of ideas, resources, reasons to keep going, and lots of comic relief! We always welcome and enjoy input and feedback. Come introduce yourself to us at a Con, or write us an email, and tell us your ideas!

The Chief Weasel

I have been playing games for about as long as I have been out of my own diapers. I can remember playing chess, back before I was in 1st grade. I was on the chess team in high school and, yes, I even had a girlfriend then! My first real introduction to true gaming was with a board game called Blitzkrieg. In fact, I obtained a new copy of it just a few years ago at Origins 2003! This was at the time when D&D was just starting out and, of course, we jumped on that like a pit bull on a pork roast. Back in those days, a group of us played some type of RPG every week for years. Those of us who have been around for so long know the changes that have gone on in the gaming community and can see some of the changes coming down the pike. Through it all, I have always had a group of players for an RPG of some type - currently that’s d20 D&D 3.5 campaign, a Dragon Star campaign and a d20 Babylon 5 campaign. I have also been a huge CCG player ever since Magic: The Gathering® first appeared. All told I have been playing games on a weekly basis for the past 20 odd years. And trust me when I say those years have been odd. My collection of games has a room of its own in the house – upstairs from the room with my outdoor adventure equipment and around the corner from Cheese Weasel office central.

The She Weasel

While, I too, have been around games and gamers all my life, my role would more appropriately be described as a Friend-Of-Geek in the sci-fi and fantasy realms. Not to say that I have been only an observer. As a card-carrying FOG member, as well as a character actress, I have my files of character sheets, a full wardrobe of Renaissance gear and my handful of favorite science fiction authors and movies. My high school days bring fond memories of a boisterous, knee-bashing halfling named Carmena and a wild mage who always picked the wrong place and time to try out a new spell! Two things I love to do – at work or at play – is create and organize! So, the concept of helping creative, gaming-type people organize their stuff so they can have more fun, more quickly is clearly a match for me! The down side? My association with the Chief Weasel and our new company has resulted in a total immersion into the gamer world. I am not only in danger of losing my FOG membership card…I am perilously close to being able to quote Bruce Campbell, sneer at the inaccuracies of poor spacecraft special effects, and play the Kevin Bacon game using the cast of Buffy, Buckaroo Banzai and any Kevin Smith film. All may be lost.

On most Saturdays you can find us at the Game Parlor in Chantilly VA playing one of our favorite games. Stop by and say hello, and be sure to tell the folks there that we sent you.
