It's time to say Goodbye

Got some new prototypes in for Train of Thought and Hench in prep for Unpub. Things are lookin' pretty snazzy! Huge thanks to the folks at @printplaygames.com for the quick turnaround and quality products.

The ultimate reward for working in the board game manufacturing biz is getting to play the final product! Here are a few of our favorite projects that have received the P&P prototype treatment over the years. 👷‍♀️🎲👷 Can you recognize all of them?? (Photos from @toddpatriquin.bsky.social)

We recently got to work with @playgalaxygame.bsky.social, printing some prototype cards for Once Upon a Galaxy! Love that art! #cardgame #onceuponagalaxy #ccg

Another fun board game design coming from our friends over at @25thcentury.games! Always a pleasure printing their prototypes 😊 #boardgames

2026 has finally arrived! We're back from holiday break and have decided that the first thing on our collective resolution list will be PLAYING MORE BOARD GAMES!! #boardgames

The P&P shop will be closed from Christmas Eve to New Years, as we spend time with our families for the holiday season. We wish you and yours a very happy and healthy Christmas, full of board games!

It’s been such a crazy busy year at @printplaygames.com and I am just tired and ready for the holidays 😅. Lots of fun looking board games came through the shop though! Seeing all the awesome new prototype projects is truly a gamers dream 😊.

We worked with @asmadigames.bsky.social a few months back to build some folding board prototypes for their latest dice flinging project, Mystic Curling Club. The Kickstarter campaign still has 11 days left, so go give it a good ole' look-see 😃 www.kickstarter.com/projects/asm...

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve shared anything from the @printplaygames.com office! We’ve been absolutely slammed out here and it’s super hard to take a breather. Nice to sit down and reflect on some of the cool board game prototypes that have passed through the shop every once and awhile 😊

Here are some naturally calming flashcards we recently printed for Sweetsop Designs! The flashcard possibilities are endless out here 🧘 #flashcards

Here is a fresh prototype for the card game "Wildflower" (just launched on Kickstarter by Cracked Games), featuring some very delightful domino-sized cards! 🐝🎨 #boardgames

Laser-cut tokens in every flippin' shape imaginable? Yeah, we can do that 😉 #boardgames

Our Chris Couch Games friends will be showcasing a bunch of games at PAX Unplugged this weekend! We're always happy to see their projects pass through the workshop 😁 #paxunplugged #paxunplugged2025

Check out this BEAUTIFUL card art coming from @emilyhancock.bsky.social! We're huge fans and wish we were going to Pax Unplugged so that we could learn more about the game project in person! #boardgame #artist

Just 2 days left to back the latest from Red Raven Games, Song of Silveranth on Gamefound! We got to work on some of the project's prototypes, which is always an absolute pleasure 😊

What's that? Another board game prototype design that features an Intriguing theme AND beautiful artwork? We're in 🙂 @dodecadonuts.bsky.social #boardgame

We had a prototype order come through for "Chore Champs" a few months back and fell in love with the card art! We need to see more of whatever this project is!! #boardgameart

The Tabletop Tycoon Kickstarter for "Trailbrazer: The Colorado Trail" ended recently and we were lucky enough to see some of the project in person! It's always exciting to work on prototypes featuring that beautiful Andrew Bosley art 😍 #boardgames

We had the privilege of working on some of the prototype bits for the Disney Afternoon REWIND games currently on Kickstarter! This project has all the nostalgia!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mae...

Yes, we're still alive! We've been heckin busy out at the P&P office these last few months, working on everything under the sun. We're talking game review copies, Kickstarter prototypes, wedding gifts, homebrewed expansions, and even some very appropriately themed projects for the holidays 🦃🪓🦃.

We're always happy to see creative ideas come through the shop, and this particular one from @lunarpunk.games is a real vibe 😁 #cardgame #boardgamedesign

We sadly did not get to see the P&P made Whisperwood prototypes in action at Gen Con... but @mikevanderveen.bsky.social did! Our team is excited to be able to play a small part in bringing the next @cbalchemy.bsky.social masterpiece to life! (Thanks for sharing, Mike 😊) #boardgame

More beautiful cards coming from The Hobnob Company! We're loving that colorful art direction! #boardgames #boardgamemanufacturing #boardgamedesign

We have made it to San Diego Comic Con!! This year, we've relocated to booth 521 (presented by Breaking Games). It's just a short hop, skip, and a jump from our previous location up the aisle. If you're attending, keep an eye out for our "WE PRINT BOARD GAMES" shirts/banner and come say hi! #sdcc

Take a look at all this cool prototype stuff we recently whipped up for @moosewithcup.bsky.social! Their SCUM board game project looks awesome and y'all should go check them out!

Our team was able to print some of the prototype materials for this project. What an epic IP! We're super excited to see what the rest of the Kickstarter has in store 🙂

We had the pleasure of printing more promo cards for @cbalchemy.bsky.social recently, and they are just as beautiful as ever! 🐲 #boardgames

We played some more #boardgames last week out here at the P&P office! For this gaming sesh, we settled on The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 and DungeonQuest. Always a good time 🎲

Check out these beautiful prototype cards from @emilykeepskitties.bsky.social new board game, "Pirates of the High Teas"! Absolutely stunning work 🎨

With these new prototypes just in, it sure is beginning to look a lot like Christmas in May! The @chriscouch.games crew (on Instagram) clearly has some holiday game surprises up their sleeves 🙂

There is nothing quite like seeing a game we printed prototypes for in its final form! @partytails just sent us a copy of Timelancers with all the bells and whistles! This project has been moving throughout our shop for years now, so we feel quite attached. We can't wait to try it out 😊 #boardgames

We had a chance to play some #boardgames as a team yesterday and ended up getting Talisman, Robot Quest Arena, and Sea Salt & Paper to the table! Good times 😊

Check out the awesome art that has gone into this Fidome Dog Breed Playing Card prototype! Such a cool idea and so aesthetically pleasing. Always happy to see something so creative pass through our workshop's doors 🙂 (You can find them at @meat.on.bones on Instagram!) #gamedesigner #printshop

We love these super cool prototype card designs coming from @thebluemuzzy on Instagram! Very excited to learn more about the project 😃 #boardgames #cardgames #boardgamedesign #boardgamedesigner

As the news of tariffs swirl around us, it has quickly become an extremely nerve-racking time for the board game industry. Please continue to lift up the designers and publishers who have put their hearts into making this hobby such a fascinating and wonderful space! We are stronger together ✊✊✊

This fun little prototype project recently made its way to the shop from @artby_mac_ (on Instagram). We're always excited to produce laser cut standees, and these ones fit in just right 😊 #boardgames #boardgamedesign

It's a beautiful sunny day out in Vancouver, WA! We're this close to opening up all of our warehouse doors and letting that sweet Washington breeze in again... this close! 🤏

Take a look at these fancy hook box prototypes recently made for Bloodsport Gambler (from Mirage Merchant)! Tuck boxes are cool and all but with unfoldable hook boxes, you can print whatever you want on the inside, essentially turning them into secondary game components! #boardgames
