Christmas Orders, GM Screens, Board Game Blueprint

Hello Community Looking for new games? There are 7 different Crowd Sales happening right now for new games. We're excited to see so many designers running their own Crowd Sales. If you've never heard of them before, check out our helpful info on backing a Crowd Sale or running your own Crowd Sale. Christmas Orders We know it's early November, but it's time to order your Christmas gifts! This is especially important if you live outside the United States and require international shipping. The Covid-19 pandemic has put a lot of stress on shipping networks and caused many delays/disruptions. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to place your orders now so you have the best chance of receiving your orders before Christmas. In past years we've tried to provide a date for when Christmas orders would be guaranteed to arrive, but we are unable to do that during this challenging time. Our estimated ship dates are displayed during checkout, but you can view them anytime on our Status page. As an example, if you place an order for a game today (Nov 6th), our system currently estimates that it will ship out of our facility on November 24th. This changes daily and the holidays are our busiest time of the year. So get those orders in right away! New: 4 Piece Foldable GM Screen Our new customizable 4 piece foldable GM Screen allows you to conduct business in secret while playing games. Each panel is double-sided and has a sleeve that allows you to insert a sheet of 8.5" x 11" paper (US Letter Size). Unfurled, the screen stands 48 inches wide by 9 inches tall. The outside of the plastic sleeve is also dry eraseable. The Board Game Blueprint - Season 2 We are excited to announce that Season 2 of The Board Game Blueprint has begun! Get ready to enjoy another exciting season of game design content with Ben and The Game Crafter.

That's why it makes sense for us to be a corporate sponsor of the IGDN Diversity Sponsorship. Through this program, IGDN provides mentorship and resources to designers from marginalized groups to help them succeed. We were also excited to see that IGDN was able to hit their funding goal of $6,000 on GoFundMe. When you support The Game Crafter, you are also supporting our efforts to give back to the board game community in various ways. So thank you! Sanity Testing Sanity Tests are a special service of The Game Crafter that gives you professional feedback on your rules and shop page.

We know how hard it is to get good feedback on your rules, and the sanity test is designed to do just that. The service costs only $30, and if you score 70 or higher out of 100 points, your game will earn a Sanity Tested Accolade. Follow us on Instagram. Tag us in your photos and we might just share it!
