The Game Crafter (TGC) is the world’s first web-to-print game publishing company and offers a print on demand game publishing service. TGC empowers game designers around the world by allowing them to make a board game, card game, or custom playing cards through the website. Using the latest web technology, the design and manufacturing processes are simplified and games are shipped quickly. Designing a tabletop game used to be difficult and expensive. TGC provides an easy to use system to create a tabletop game. This system includes pre-made templates, instructions, videos, and proofing tools to help designers create a quality product. TGC has over 2,700 different game pieces & parts in stock as well as custom packaging options to further customize the product. Commercial game manufacturers require large runs of games to be made and this is expensive. Most manufacturers have minimum orders of 1000-5000 units and payment is required upfront. Since The Game Crafter is a print on demand game publisher, designers can print just 1 copy of the game or as many as they'd like. And designers have the option to self-publish their game on the TGC online shop and sell their game to a worldwide audience. Game designers looking to run a crowdfunding campaign for their game can use The Game Crafter’s Bulk Order Fulfillment(BOF). This service provides up to a 40% bulk discount and TGC handles manufacturing, fulfillment, shipping, and customer service. In the last 7 years, The Game Crafter has fulfilled over $1,000,000 worth of orders for Kickstarter campaigns, with the largest being $128,000. The Game Crafter community has grown to over 380,000 users worldwide and they have created over 300,000 different game titles on our servers. Over 10,000 of these game titles are self-published and available for purchase in The Game Crafter online shop. All of these characteristics clearly identify TGC as the market leader for print on demand game publishing.
