Simply give us your list of game components. We will anonymize your list and send it out to a number of factories that we have vetted and visited ourselves in China to get quotes for you. These factories produce some of the most popular games out there for "the big guys".

We leverage our relationship with the factory, our Chinese language skills and manufacturing expertise to negotiate down pricing. We want to earn your business with the highest quality and lowest price.

We send you all the quotes direct from the factories, you decide on which company to work with. Gathering quotes is risk-free and all done with no agreement of any kind. You can even be sneaky and use our quotes to pressure your current manufacturer :)

After you review the quotes we supply, you choose a manufacturer. At that point we introduce you to the factory. We help ensure a smooth production process by getting you cardstock, component and box samples from the factory. You provide them with your artwork and we all work together to make sure all production questions are answered.

By including you directly in factory communications you know you are getting the best quality. You know we aren't doing something to enhance our margins or overcharging you for a change in materials ect. Direct communication also helps speed up information sharing and production as well as. It gets you the exact product you want as quick as possible with nothing lost in translation.

We arrange samples to be produced for you at a discounted rate.

After your game enters production, we can help answer shipping questions ect. When the production is done, you pay the factory directly. Our promise to you is that we will never be compensated by any factory we work with.

Our fee: You simply agree to pay us 10% of the cost of the order (not including shipping) when the products arrive to you. If you continue working with the factory on further productions, we will continue to be involved and you continue to pay us the 10% fee for each subsequent production.

This simple flat markup helps you know you are getting the best pricing possible. Since we allow you to choose from multiple quotes from multiple factories and all communication is open, all interests are aligned and transparent. Nobody wants to get hosed by multiple layers of middlemen.

In 2018 I designed and Kickstarted the game "Uncommon Questions". I used Google to find some "board game manufacturing companies" and got quotes for between $8-12 per unit with production time of four months. I had just returned from living in China for a few years and decided to use my skills to find potential manufacturers myself. I flew to China and met with a few some factories. I discovered the big production companies all use the same factories. By approaching the factory directly, I skipped the "manufacturers" markups.

I ended up getting my game direct from the factory for $2.12 each for just 2,000 units manufactured in 22 days. The factory I chose was making some of the most popular games in the world. I found a local Las Vegas shipping company and they handled getting the games delivered from China to my garage for $.08 each.

When I'd tell my game making friends how cheap I got my games for direct from the factory they were really surprised. I helped a few do what I did. They told me I should start my own company. So, here we are.
