Need Much Help!!

Wed, 10/10/2018 - 16:44 — First Timer

Hello - I'm new to this blog and I'm extremely happy I came across it. Especially at this highly crucial time for me.
I'm in the prototype phase of a new board game and I'm trying to acquire the things I need to have a prototype for my kickstarter campaign.

I have a board, dice, game pieces, timer, scoresheets and homemade printed colored cards (red, yellow and green cardstock).

I'm trying to find a company or companies to help me create a box and a tray both to my specifications.

A story-to-game project

Bon après-midi, ladies and gentlemen,

The topic started this summer:
https://www.bgdf.com/forum/general/welcome-bgdf/story-game-creator
Well, after a bulk of efforts to bring the project to life I have to finally say, I failed. Not that I had expected something more than usual but total absence of interest for my game speaks louder than words. And the message is the project ended up in a pit of trash.

Super-Bee modular board and multiple counters (one for each player)

Fri, 10/05/2018 - 09:55 — AndreiLefter
Super-Bee playtesting with 6 couters

An idea of a modular board crossed through my mind and I wanted to see if it will work for Super-Bee.

My thoughts were that this modular board will allow for a more complex version of the game.

Here are a few positive points I thought the modular board will bring to the game (before playtesting it):

+ it's modular so you can arange the board anyway you want, with suggested ideas in the rule book for levels of complexity, for each various setup; freedom for players to get creative and setup the board as they like it;

The Game Crafter - Board Game Design Contest - Phase Shift Dimensions Challenge

The finalists for the Phase Shift Dimensions Challenge have been announced! The judges had this to say:

"We knew this would be an interesting contest, and your submissions absolutely supported that prediction! While there was a wide range of scores, most entries successfully demonstrated pushing some form of a dimensional envelope, and there were indeed some (very) novel ideas." -Jason & Darrin at Geek Fever Games

Thoughts when trying to move forward

Mon, 10/01/2018 - 13:11 — LoveInPaintCreations

I've been working hard on the illustrations going into my game. I'm creating about 2 card illustrations a week and am pretty proud of what I'm producing.

Still, something is missing.

I'm not lacking in the progress department, since I'm moving forward with it, artistically, every day/week.

Still, something is nagging me.

I finally realized what it was yesterday: I haven't worked on the actual GAME in a few weeks. Aside from starting from scratch with the name issues (though I think I have a working title that I like now but not on that later) and the illustrations, of course.

Count It! Box

Proto Print n Cut Box

I've been working on the box design and I think I'm ready to send the rest off to my illustrator to make three variations of the card back/box cover. There are going to be three different colored decks differentiated by the card back and corresponding box featuring the card back on the front, to play with more than 3 people you need more than one deck. The function of this design is to make it easy for players to sort the decks after the game is over based on the card back and to obviously inform the customer what deck they are buying in the store.
