The Game Crafter: produce your own boardgames site

[spacemonkeymafia]

Hi all, so this new site is getting a lot of attention in some of the gaming news sites:

http://www.thegamecrafter.com/home

The best description I've seen is: it is for Boardgames what Cafe-Press is for t-shirts. You upload your art assets, rules, and select the necessary components, then they estimate the production costs. If you like what you see, you can publish the game through their site by setting your own retail price and splitting the profit 50/50. You own all the rights to the game and can stop selling it through them at any point. Lastly, you may buy the game at cost (it won't be actual direct cost but definitely cheaper than trying to buy one prototype through a bulk manufacturer).

The site is new and technically still in beta so not every option for boardgame components are available but they are looking to expand options. The selection they do have surprised me for just starting up.

Enjoy!
