Hello All,

I am trying to create a board game and I am trying to figure out how to create a board. Those nice hard and shiny board games what others have. Anybody has any idea?

thanks,

Attila

Are you talking about just one for prototype purposes or production?  And are you wanting the hard cardboard kind, like you find in a monopoly game?  If so, probably talking to a company that produces boxes would be a good first step.  They can help with the box also.

Hello, I am looking for production, the Monopoly style boards. I looked on the Internet and I could find China based companies. I would prefer to find a US - possibly Florida - based company to support local businesses. Not sure how/where to find one.

thanks,

Attila

We have interviewed Tim Walsh, trying to bring you a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of board game invention. You also have a chance to play Tribond and other board games on-line, but first let's take a look at the history of Tribond:
