So You Think This (Could Be) A Game?!

     As most of you know, I like to design board and card games.  I would love to make a decent living designing games, but I know it's not really feasible.  I'm fine with that.  But I have an idea that might just work, so here it is:

     I will design a custom tabletop game for you.  You give me an event or a theme or some basic information and I'll design a fun game around your info.  Imagine being able to give away a custom card game as a business card?  Or having a family game made to celebrate an anniversary?  Or even have a custom game as a centerpiece on the guest tables at a wedding?  

     All of this with no work on your part!  We sit down and discuss some things, and you tell me what kind of game you want.  I'll design it for you, I'll get it printed up (in whatever quantities you want), and I'll deliver it to your event or whatever.  I think I could do this.

     There are two problems with this idea.

 - 1 - I will need equipment.  I will have to purchase an industrial printer that can print everything from custom playing cards to cardboard boxes, I want this stuff to be professional looking.  I will also need a 3D printer for making custom game pieces.  These pieces of equipment are not cheap.

 - 2 - I cannot draw.  I can't draw, even a little bit, my drawing skills are on par with an autistic monkey after a partial lobotomy and finger amputation.  I would need to hire or partner with someone with some actual artistic talent.

     That being said, I don't think either of these problems are insurmountable.  I am going to gauge interest in the custom board game market idea over the next few weeks, and see if it would be profitable enough to try to get this thing rolling!

     If anybody reading this is interested in a custom game, let me know in the comments, or you can send me an email (magicpokey@gmail.com), I look forward to helping you!

     Also:  Merry Christmas Eve Eve!  I know it's silly, but, in my family, silly is prized!
