So I’m looking at about $13,000 to get 1000 units of House of Whack published. And it will take 3-4 months to print. Still waiting for another quote, but this gives me a good idea. I’ll also look into assembling the games myself with parts of the game supplied by different vendors. Might be cheaper, but then I’d have to assemble all the components for every game. Ack.
Gary Gygax assembled the first D&D boxed sets himself, apparently. So you’d be in good company.At $13 you wouldn’t have to charge all that much to make a decent profit. Board game companies must have a huge markup!
