Pass the buck board game

Will you be coming in for Geekway to the West? Your designs all look very cool. I appreciate your honest review of the process. We are sort of encountering the same thing for our game. Hopefully you saved some for shipping and fulfillment too! In spite of my research, I was still surprised at how much time and money fulfillment took.

I hope you have the best of luck with your studio and game! Great article. And being your own artist is the only way to go. I have no idea how non-artists are able to self-publish games on a reasonable budget…. I empathized with your point about being more bold when asking for changes to the product. I regret that now! I see you saved a lot of money shipping the games yourself, and I wonder if I made a mistake using a service. Please keep chronicling your efforts, especially if Pass The Buck makes it into a brick-and-mortar store.

I did enjoy working with AdMagic; they were really easy to communicate with, and the final product is really solid. The bartender a friend of mine knew a guy who runs a local comic book shop, and told him about the backer pickup event.

The shop owner came by to check out the game, then bought two copies wholesale and put it on the shelf that night! I hope to do a follow-up article once I figure out retail distribution a bit better, so that I can hopefully demystify that process a bit too.

Thanks so much for doing this; this is great information. I dabble in game design and would love to see one of my games published some day. Do you have a spreadsheet with all of these costs laid out? Could I get a copy of that? Also, did you do any advertising on BGG before or during your kickstarter campaign and if so, do you think it was worth it, and if not, why not? I apologize for coming across this post so late but I was interested in how you came to the decision to ship copies to Amazon?

Was there some kind of cost benefit from shipping so many copies all at once? Thank you for sharing so much detailed information about your experience. Very insightful for the small publisher. No cost benefit to my knowledge; I foolishly decided at the time that I wanted to use Amazon as my primary warehousing solution. Fascinating read. Quite eye opening to someone who is curious about doing what you did.

Thank you for posting this. She had extra reward items like buttons that were cheap to produce but had a high perceived value […]. This is a great write up. I think I am on the right track. It has helped me see that doing your own art work as well as manufacturing yourself is the best way to go.
