Hello Everyone,
So my brother is the biggest Star Trek fan I know and he loves board games. His major complaint for the last decade and a half has been the absence of a really-good thematically appropriate Star Trek game, just the huge number of tactical games and random other stuff, like Star Trek Catan. So for his birthday this year I handed him a prototype copy of a game I've been working on for him for the past 3 years.
I didn't design it with a view towards getting it published. But I still wanted it to be a viable game, so a lot of playtesting has gone into it and all the playtesters have really enjoyed it. So now that I am coming to the end of the process I am wondering what the steps would be to try and get someone at Paramount/CBS or a game company with the license to take a look at it? I recognize the odds are they will not even give me the time of day and this game will be limited to less than half a dozen copies ultimately, produced by myself, but because the feedback was so positive I feel compelled to at least try.
Any advice on how to go about doing this or where to start? If it doesn't go anywhere, it was still worth it for the look on his face when he opened it. I made a pretty snazzy looking prototype and when we started playing it kind of blew his mind. Would be kind of nice to have the opportunity to share the idea with the larger community. It is definitely something that has not been tried yet.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot! I sent Dralius a PM and I will certainly check out his game, it looks very cool! Thankfully mine looks quite different!
