Shrapnel Games has also expanded its product portfolio to include board and role-playing games.

Shrapnel Games is an independent American computer games publisher that specializes in the strategy and role playing genres, particularly turn-based strategy games. It was founded in 1999 by Tim Brooks in Cary, North Carolina. Originally intended to publish the sequel to Brooks' own game, 101st, All American: The 82nd Airborne in Normandy, it quickly branched out into publishing other graphically light strategy titles which were ignored by the mainstream games industry[citation needed]. To date, these have included Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space, Dominions II and Dominions 3: The Awakening, BCT Commander, Armored Task Force, Air Assault Task Force, WinSPMBT and WinSPWW2.
