Board Game Development and Manufacture
                             
Auction is for the Design, Development, Characterisation, Tooling, Film & Plate Printing Preparation and Manufacture of the first run of games (100 games).
Need more than 100 game for the first order, perhaps 1,000 or 5,000 or  10,000 games, if so just ask us to list a special eBay bargain for you?

Whether you're an inventor, a company or an advertising agency, a board game is the perfect interactive medium for your idea or promotional concept. No other product enables a group of people to focus on ONE subject alone for an hour or more than a board game.

Developing a board game is an involved process. Not only does the "idea" and "gameplay" have to be perfect, the timing has to be right too for the launch. It must fit in with buying periods, the promotion and advertising (marketing) plans need to be set up as well as storage and distribution set in place. So now's an opportunity to have your idea developed and made ready for all the next stages that you will need to do.

We have developed many many prototypes and manufactured hundreds of thousands of games for other people and companies, and so understand fully the process of getting your idea off the ground and to market. We will start by sitting down and evaluating your idea before you spend anymore money on your game and see if there is some way that it can be improved.

IF YOU REQUIRE A BOARD GAME WITH MORE PLASTIC PARTS AND EVEN ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OR INTEREACTIVE ELEMENTS, TELL US AND WE WILL EBAY-LIST A BELOW-STANDARD SPECIAL PRICE FOR YOU.
