Mensa

I'm thinking about submitting for

https://mensamindgames.com/about/general-information/

I'm not quite sure how likely I am to do well there, or really what the benefit will end up being, but may be a good use of 15 copies of my game.

Anyone here have any experience with the Mensa board game competition, or what the effect is on your sales if you win? (I'm pretty sure it would be a good way to get into, say, Barnes & Noble)

Playtesters for a family board game.

Sat, 11/17/2018 - 04:08 — super-ape games

Hi I am looking for playtesters (a family) to test a family board game. Prototypes are currently being printed and will be ready in a few weeks. I would prefer players in the UK or near europe merely to save on postage costs.

Thanks

Monster Keep — Re-vamping an old design

Tue, 11/13/2018 - 18:24 — questccg

My latest artist has finished the NEW Logo for "Monster Keep". I love the new logo... I think it looks pretty cool! I think Madison did a wonderful job in bringing to life a "mock-up" that I had designed. Although she has a real busy schedule, I am hoping to sign her for the remainder of the artwork for the game...!

Some format issues:

  1. 15 Card Booster which includes everything (besides 1d6) to play.

  2. 2 Boosters for two-player game play...
