The latest expansions to our bestsellers: Neuroshima Hex! and Monolith Arena are now in stores!

Monolith Arena: Golems allows players to take on the role of Constructors and create their mighty Golems on the arena. Golems excel at strength and toughness but are limited by their building process. Playing as Golems introduces a completely new mechanism.

Neuroshima Hex: Troglodytes is the faction with the ability to adapt units to the situation on the board. Cannibalizing your own units enables you to immediately get an additional bonus. The other advantage is the abundance of fighting units and Battle tiles.

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.

IGDN Diversity Sponsorship 2020

New game designers and new game ideas are always welcome in The Game Crafter community. 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. In a nutshell, one of our professional editors will review your rules and shop page for grammar, clarity, completeness, and appeal. 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.

Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game with Game Of The Year edition

Game of the Year edition of Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game

Portal Games is proud to announce releasing the Game of the Year edition of the award winning Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game. Thanks to the overwhelming response for the game and a worldwide success Portal Games was able to improve the basic game and add additional component to the box.

The new edition includes a set of 30 photos of character portraits, which the players can use during their investigation to make a mind map. The pictures show the suspects met throughout the game, and bring an amazing immersion to the gameplay. The set was previously available for purchase only as an additional promo item at the Portal Games store and during conventions. With the Game of the Year edition of Detective, now all players will be able to enjoy this great tool.

Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game is a fully cooperative, deeply immersive, detective experience for 1 to 5 players taking on the roles of investigators trying to solve a crime. The game has been published in 10 languages and sold over 100.000 copies worldwide. It won many prominent awards and nominations including As d'Or Expert Game of the Year Award 2019, Dice Tower Best Theming Award 2018, nomination for Kennerspiel des Jahres 2019, nominations for Golden Geek Best Game of the Year 2019, Golden Geek Best Cooperative, Best Innovative and Best Thematic Game of the Year 2019.

The Detective line has seen further development by Portal Games. In 2019 it published L.A. Crimes expansion, which takes players to Los Angeles crime scene set in the 80's. In 2020 Portal Games launched the Detective: Signature Series – the line of single case expansions written by the best storytellers in the board game industry. The first expansion published in this series was Dig Deeper written by Rob Daviau with a theme dripping murder case set in Boston area in the 70's. The latest release in Portal Games' Detective line is Detective: Season One. It is a stand-alone game with 3 separate murder cases, each having a different setting and writing style. The game has streamlined rules, which makes it easier for casual players to enjoy. Next year Portal Games is releasing a brand new game borrowing from Detective mechanics, Vienna Connection, which transforms players into secret agents operating in the Cold War era in Europe.
