Developing a Board Game
Developing a Board Game takes a significant amount of time and energy. To assist you in this endeavor, the Professor’s Lab provides a wide variety of services. From the very beginning of your board game development journey, we offer Design Analysis as a fresh perspective on the whole of your new title…from the mechanics and theme to rules, board, cards, and gameplay. From there, the Professor’s Lab can serve as your Editor/Proofreader for the myriad cards and pages of rules, tightening the grammar, spell checking, and ensuring the final product remains clear and cogent. Finally, and the most important aspect of development, the Professor’s Lab provides Playtesting services for one or multiple playtests.
While the Services & Rates below provide a broad overview of costs, the Professor’s Lab has worked with designers and fellow-developers, each possessing different expectations and budgets. When you’re ready to begin developing your game, contact us and we can take that journey together.
