The ideal solution for custom board game makers

See how game inventor Adam Porter used Launch Tabletop to create a print-on-demand game at retail quality.  In this excerpt, Adam demonstrates how easy it is to use our print-on-demand workflow to set up game playing cards, select a non-foldable game board, and more. Watch the complete video on Adam's YouTube Channel.

Frequently asked questions

Our print-on-demand service allows game creators to quickly produce custom board games in small quantities, from 1 to under 1,000 copies. The process starts with designing and managing the game project using Launch Lab, which offers over 50 customisable components. Once the design is finalised and ordered, the game is manufactured on demand and shipped worldwide.

The time it takes to receive your custom print-on-demand board game depends on how long it takes to produce your game as well as the delivery destination. 

The number of components and their size are factors in production. For example: a game with many pieces that requires printing a large foldable game board will take longer to manufacture than a small game that contains a deck of cards, a rulebook and a box. In addition, orders for a larger quantity of copies take longer to produce.

The delivery location is also a factor that affects when your order arrives. Our custom shipping calculator can help determine the shipping time.

You can license the artwork from your custom board game created with Launch Tabletop and any other games you’ve published. Learn more about licensing your artwork using our Stellar platform.

The two most important things to consider are:

  • The size of the board you need when it's unfolded and ready for play; and
  • What size box you need to fit it into when folded to be put away.

Taking those two things into account, decide on whether you prefer a bi-fold or a quad-fold board, whether you want to print on 1-side or both sides of the board, choose a finish on the printed sides, and select from the sizes available. For more compact board games, you may prefer a bi-fold, whereas long epic adventures may require a large quad-fold board to create an immersive tabletop experience. Read more about our game board options.

When designing your custom board game, you’ll need to select cards of different sizes and shapes depending on what the card is for and how it will be used.

We offer a wide variety of playing card sizes in square or standard rectangular shapes. Whether you wish to print entire card decks for your game, or simply have a few cards act as tokens or markers, our print-on-demand service will be able to meet your needs. Visit our component library to learn more about our varying card shapes and sizes.

We are delighted to hear that you’re happy with your game. As a custom board game maker, we can mass-produce your game for you. Whether you want to show your board game to the whole world or start small by printing small batches, we are here to help. Read more about our mass production services.

The preset templates for components in print-on-demand board games are compatible with products like Adobe InDesign and Illustrator, and Affinity Publisher and Designer.

We have produced many board games for creators globally. Learn more about these games by reading our creator case studies.
