Helpful Tips
- If you have a little extra money, it is highly beneficial to get some rough sketches, especially done in black and white, drawn out while you play-test your game.
- Having as much art done, prior to the launch of your Kickstarter is ideal. This helps spruce up your Kickstarter project.
- DeviantArt.com is a great site to find freelance artists.

My wife is a gamer by proxy and Dominion is so much fun that we played it every night for months and still buy any cards/expansions that come out immediately. It’s an INSANELY great game!

I really enjoy the almost endless possibilities that Dominion offers and in result, the variety of strategies. All that shuffling is another story…
Greg Mathews says
Stone Age?? Don’t have the “real” board game yet but got the outstanding I-pad conversion app for me and my wife. She played it NINE times in a row and it’s up to 4-person multi-player. Absolutely worth the 6 dollar purchase price…AND that is about 1/8th the board-game cost.
Jeff Large says
I have heard great things about the iOS version of Stone Ages. The problem is I don’t have an iPad so buying the actual game is probably 1/8th the cost of buying the iPad and Stone Age app! Appreciate the heads up though.
Jamey Stegmaier says
Thanks Jeff, Leandra, and Kyle! I’m excited to see this go live.
Jeff Large says
We are too!
