Description
This isn't a “baby's first Candyland" kit. If you've wanted to make your own game before, you probably know what I'm talking about – kits with a bit of Monopoly money, faceless player tokens, and a game board filled with nothing but blank-colored spaces. Well, luckily for you, this is not that kit. At the heart of this guide to game making is an in-depth 208-page booklet by game designer Jeremy Holcomb about how to design effective games. With topics ranging from how game story effects game mechanics, and how to write rules to crowdfunding, self-publishing, and promotion, there's a lot to digest. While anyone can use this kit, it's best suited to a serious beginning designer. In addition to the book, the kit comes with three sheets of various game tokens (fight, defend, sell, numbers, icons, etc.) both printed and unprinted, 150 small wooden game cubes in 6 colors, 36 wooden meeples in 6 colors, 6 distinctly-colored large wooden cubes, 12 six-sided dice in 6 colors, and 110 plastic disks in 8 colors. If you've got that burning desire to make a game, this is an excellent way to get some background and advice into what that entails, as well as the means to start designing practically.
