In this video I talk about the process of bringing my friends board game to life. I didn't think manufacturing a product like this would be so complicated, but there were actually a lot of moving pieces and steps to take. The whole process took just over half a year, but working on this project was really fun. I hope you guys enjoy the video! Please be sure to drop a like and a sub if you haven't :).

This was an awesome video as I started my card game (The Arab Card Game) around 2.5 years ago. Been a slow process but created a second game and working on next games. I did a pre-release to get up front manufacturing cost which helped. I ordered 1000 units from China and still selling through them. Not selling like crazy but watching this process made me feel good because it validated how slow this process is

Release DLCs as STLs. The game has room for ton of improvement, and you can leverage digital products. Plus you can create a business where you can create a patreon for commercial rights. Good luck!

Bought a copy! Working on my unique boardgame collection and I also love pirates! Compared to the other games mentioned in the comments.. I think this stands out from the others as a great balance of simplicity and strategy.. not a lot of rules to get lost in for new players.. this will be a welcomed addition along side Clank Catacombs (upgraded), and Super Boss Monster (final boss edition).. can't wait to play it.. In the future if you make improvements to the game pieces, could there be an option to buy an upgrade pack for us early adopters? It would be much appreciated down the road if all goes well..

@brianwaterstone 9 дней назад

Thanks! Since each box has a lot of pieces, if we are able to further customize components with higher unit volume, we should be able to have part replacement (or upgrade) in the store alongside the full game.

I feel the game could end too quickly... the ability to draw so many out of the bag in just 2-3 turns... if someone gets really lucky....boom.... game over.... might bees to change the drawing aspect of things

@omergabriel6065 День назад

Im sure that going through to steps of doing everything by yourself gave ypu alot pf knowledge But in the end you saved 15$ per unit , lets say both of you did 30 hours of menual leber work to assemble that game, contact each supplier etc You saved less than 25$ an hour , at thid point - just buy the expensive prototype at 50$/55$ save time and do the important parts fester Whats the point of saving 25$ an hour if you can work for much more ?

Looks like a really diluted version of the Sea of Thieves board game, nearly the same price as it too. Even has the galleon on the front of the box, same as the Sea of Thieves one.

@brianwaterstone 10 дней назад

Game designer here. I do like the Sea of Thieves pirate theme, but have never played. The Broken Isles is a strategy game with: - Dynamic board rearrangement (the islands are alive) - Chance bag draws (dig for gemstones) - Area control and some combat (pirates and captains) - Strong comeback opportunities (combat power swings) If you enjoy pirate themed strategy games, you might like the novel art and mechanics in The Broken Isles.

@@brianwaterstone Brother. This dude is known to dropship a bunch of products, try to make money in any way without getting an actual job, and blatantly steal ideas from other people. Stealing a base idea then changing it up a bit is not the same as making an entirely new game. Not only that, but all of the things you mentioned in the second part of your attempt to sell the game, is also in the Sea of Thieves board game. Also, unsure if you've ever really played or seen anything on Sea of Thieves, as it's quite literally the furthest away from a roleplaying game as you can get. The game is centered around combat and sinking other ships. Roleplaying in either the actual game or the board game typically just gets you sunk faster. Where did you even see that it's a roleplaying game? For reference, he edited his message, and before he claimed that Sea of Thieves was a roleplaying game.

@@demonicflames1678 Found the loser that likes to tear others down. Maybe you missed the point where it was stated that he;s been working on the game since his teens. Before Sea of Thieves was a board game. Perhaps you missed the concept of spontaneous discovery. Maybe you've never made a board game yourself and don't realize that it generally takes 10 years+ to fully playtest and dial in. And perhaps you're just a lonely douche bag that loves to tear down other people's extremely hard work because you have nothing in your own life to fulfill you so this is how you get your kicks.

@averageandyy 10 дней назад

Making a board game? more like re-making and re-skinning catan

@brianwaterstone 10 дней назад

Game designer here. I do love Catan! The Broken Isles has two similarities to Catan - both games have roughly the same rule-complexity and the game boards use hexagons. Other than that the games are dissimilar. The Broken Isles is based around map control, strategic movement, board rearrangement, and chance bag-draw mechanics. If you like strategy games, you may enjoy The Broken Isles.

@brianwaterstone 9 дней назад

@@averageandyy Having my first game compared to Catan - one of the most successful games of all time - is a great thing! I've enjoyed Catan for years, but when playing there is often no chance for players who fall behind to win. A major design goal for The Broken Isles was to create a strategy game where players who are behind have many small windows of opportunity to get back in the game and win. This makes for a game that is exciting even when the strategy game skill discrepancy is higher among players.
