How Much Does Self-Publishing Cost?

Costs vary according to the specific components used in your game.  To provide an example: the set-up and service charge for a game inlcuding 72 custom playing cards, a custom box, game instructions, and 1 score card is $295.  Manufacturing costs for this game range from $10 to $20 per unit, depending upon the number ordered.  Please contact us for more details.

How Self-Publishing Works:


It's simple: you provide the artwork for the game, text for game instructions, and the list of components (within certain limitations). We provide all the following services for orders of 1 to 24 units:
  • Manufacture of your game, including packaging
  • Addition of your title to our line of self-published games
  • A separate page on our site with detailed information about your game and how customers can buy  directly from you

BONUS SERVICE: If you order 25 or more copies of your game, we provide the above services, plus the following bonus service:
  • 5 free copies sent to our official Reviewers who are encouraged to post their reviews on public online game forums
