I wanted to give a review for www.Boardgamesmaker.com because it didn't seem like there were any online aside from a few pictures of customized dice. I usually don't write reviews but this was COMPLETELY necessary. So I'll try to cover everything you might want to know. Here it is:

I decided to create a board game for my friend's birthday that featured every in our regular game-night group. My friend really enjoys the Indie game Resistance so I fashioned the game in that manner. Here are the pros with the website (not the finished product, just the website):

WEBSITE PROS:
(1) The site has downloadable templates to create your pieces (to ensure you get the best product from them).
(2) You can get many different game boards and game pieces (there are tons of them).
(3) You can customize nearly everything!
(4) Customer support contact if you're confused or need help (I highly recommend their customer support; there was an error with my box cover, which was entirely my fault, that would have delayed my delivery date; their customer support was so kind that they paid out-of-pocket to ship my game express to get it to me on time).

WEBSITE CONS:
(1) It's a little confusing the first time you use it (but it's easily explored once you figure things out)
(2) The website gives you a number to call for customer support (in the USA) and you only ever get their voicemail (but their email contact is VERY quick to respond).

I was really nervous to see the quality of the game when I received it (I received it today, actually; I was so pleased I hopped right online after I got it to start writing this review); but it's truly amazing! I've included pictures with this review.

Overall, I loved it.

GAME PROS:
(1) The box is made VERY well.
(2) Even if text or an image seems small on your computer, it's VERY high quality on the actual game pieces/instructions - so don't let sizes like 2" or smaller scare you. It's good quality work!
(3) The pieces are thick where they need to be
(4) Delivery was on time and well worth the wait

GAME CONS:
(1) Everything can be customized; that means a game you create could be a little expensive (but I assure you; it's worth it!)

I'm pleased with everything about this game and I'm excited to see what my friend thinks. Thank you, Boardgamesmaker for helping me make such a STELLAR game!

**Note: I didn't create the boards with the website because they were so small. I just chose to print them out at a FedEx store.

I was very satisfied with the whole experience. First and most importantly, the completed product...

I have ordered many pieces from this company... Including hefty-price bulks of up to 250 board...
