Our Goal
The goal of this blog is to take people through all the steps that we took in getting our board games published. We try to be as transparent as possible. We also use it to update everyone on what’s happening with our current or upcoming games. We recommend you start by clicking on “The Steps” and start at Step 1 – and go from there.
Let us know your thoughts and let us know your challenges and successes in getting your game published!
