6 Things to Know Before Self-Publishing a Board Game (2024 Edition)

Enjoyed watching the vid! A cheap/easy-to-produce game (e.g. PnP) for project 1 is a great idea. 🙂 I strongly disagree with TTS. I don't think designers need to use TTS. The mechanical/thematic dichotomy really bothers me. I agree that it's important to prioritise something, but that doesn't need to be within either of those two spaces. I like the idea of 'fixing' or remaking something you hate as a starting point if someone's looking for inspiration. Agree that you need to be willing to kill 'darlings' - it's about having those priorities and getting rid of anything that stands in that way. Scythe is a really weird mention for point 6. I agree you need to be willing for your projects (whether your first or your 25th) to be a failure though. We keep on learning and keep moving forwards. 🙂 All the best with your stuff!
