POD Board and Card Games?

Posted on July 16, 2009 by Matt Forbeck

The Game Crafter is a new site that promises to bring print on demand (POD) to board and card games. The prices aren’t great for big runs, of course, but they’re perfect for prototypes or for testing out ideas. I mean, $6.28 (plus shipping, I presume) to have a single deck of custom cards printed for a prototype is wonderful.

I may have to give this a crack soon. If so, I’ll let you know how it goes.

(Hat tip to Raph Koster for pointing it out.)

    They’re based in Madison, Matt. Any idea who’s behind the company? Any way of finding out?

    JT Smith, the guy behind WebGui (http://www.webgui.org/), gave them their start as a test about how to build such a site. He writes about it on his blog (http://www.plainblack.com/black-blog). I contacted him, and he tells me they will have a booth at Gen Con. Seems solid so far.

    That sounds pretty cool. I feel like designing a card game now.
