So here's an old design I was kicking around years ago and I think I'm finally going to use it if I can get The Game Crafter to print it with Spot Gloss like they do for the game boards. I recently got one of their prototypes and the board was really nice with spot gloss (not optional on their website) so I asked them if they can print my cover that way. Hopefully, they can, and if so I'll try it out with this design.
As much as I liked the cover with Andrea and Apollo with a 1930s background, I think that's a bit too scene-specific (ok for cards) as opposed to a genre-specific image so that good design after 2 years is out. Go figure. Sometimes you have to get over your own designs.
I love black boxes and so I think this is a better way to go for now. It's a very striking look that could work. Right now I'm deep into fixing my playing cards for the most part because some of the text is way too small to read so I'll have to make a few changes.
I plan to have this new box ready to promote next November after I get several (good) reviews and so on. I'm also trying to finish Warpd! so I can get it out there too.
I'm shifting into high gear with all my board games because let's face it, I'm not getting any younger so it's time to make some final decisions and roll the dice.
Yeah, life is a gamble after all.
