boardgamesmaker Reviews 

The system to create the card games is fair to use but they delay production unnecessarily. Before you pay, you are asked to confirm your purchase, to ensure it is as you desire. I confirmed that what I produced was what I needed. With all of those checks, it was frustruating to receive additional emails to repeatly confirm. I paid for expedited service due to an event I was planning to attend with my game, but with the delaying emails, I did not receive them. If you need you items to be produced in a timely fashion, beware.

Great company who have quality materials to make the custom game of your choice. Very helpful when it comes to the customer service, would highly recommend them for anyone who is interested in making their own board or card game. They have a big variety of boards, cards, packaging and other pieces you can customise to your liking. Very happy with the sevice. :)

I had a great experience ordering from boardgamesmaker.com, I was a bit apprehensive after reading some reviews but my game was great quality, arrived quickly, and they were very responsive and contact me to adjust some artwork issues before printing.

We ordered custom trading cards and they were excellent quality. They were dispatched a little later than advertised but arrived extremely quickly, so still arrived well within the advertised delivery time!

I had a really good experience when it came to ordering my first prototype for my first ever card game (Prawn Stars).
Quality was nice and I got a good feel off the cards using just the standard stock. Delivery was quicker than was advertised which was a bonus. The only issues I can honestly say is that it is relatively expensive if you are only doing small or single piece runs and this can be off putting, especially when you want a short run for playtesting or for presenting to potential investors/publishers. I will use them again however as the process was relatively painless

The quality was not the best. I am missing a lot of cards that I ordered and the communication was not good. Customer service never got back to me on an order. That was months ago and I am still waiting.

It was a custom table board for a present and the result is just amazing.

And the people from support were working with me to improve quality of the final product totally free.

Highly recommended site.

I wish i could put up pictures the miniatures were wet and sticky they said they had to cut a bit of the image for the box top and what they did was only did the actual top not the sides so its my image on top and just black every where else. I'm a one person company that's trying to create a TTRPG which means i can't afford mess ups. The only approval they asked about was for the miniatures when they sent the images of them printed never showing anything elsehow do you create something for a possible client but never send images for approval.

Made my first own game and boy was it both fun and easy with BGM, the support was so good and delivery fast. And the quality - top notch! Well I did pay 3x of normal game price so I expected it to be good, but it didn't disappoint, exceeded my expectations even.

I would highly recommend BGM if you want to design and make your own game!

Really easy to get a boardgame printed. Great price. Great quality. Very happy with the board

Do not use, you would be better off throwing your money into the sea

Your service and work were excellent and very fast!

I've tried a few other companies for printing TCG-like cards. Boardgamesmaker.com is by far the best i've tried. Used them on several orders this last year.

Speed 5/5. (usually processed and printed in 2-3 days after order. Then there is shipping from China that takes the usual time it takes to get things from China, me beeing in europe around 2 weeks)

Customer service 5/5.
(They've actually reached out themselves when they've seen that different designs might come out wrong and given me a chanse to adjust before the final printing)

Card Quality 4/5.
(Usually a few minor printing-artifacts, dots and such on every 5th card or so, nothing major though, but worth mentioning).

Price 5/5.
(Nothing to add. Just good pricing)

I would very much recommend them over most other similar services.

This was a terrible experience. It took me FOREVER to upload my cards and designs for my game because they have an old website THAT ZOOMS in on your pictures and there is no way to fix it. I had to resize my things multiple times. Then on top of that, they say your game is a certain price and then have OUTLANDISH PRICES for shipping. But I had already spent so much time on this I just decided to go ahead with it. Then there was a problem with my order. Let’s hope if you order from there is no problems because THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS USELESS. They literally told me to go with another printing shop and that’s what I’ll be doing because it’s been such a headache.

AMAZING!! Not only were they super concerned about my design and its flaws, they guided me to fix them, helped me, and wanted to make sure I had the perfect product. My design had so many flaws that the shipping time became too long, they let me pay the expedited cost and I got it with more than enough time. Received it today, and it was even better than I could ever imagine. I hope I have the need to use them again, our custom made board game, box and cards came out perfect. Trust me, use them, you will be happy!

Amazing service and the final product is incredibly professional. The staff had a good eye for detail and emailed me about areas of concern with my designs (some things are off-centre, my 3d model needed changing).

I bought a board game from them for a special occasion and it looks incredible.
The board and cards feel incredibly high quality and are clear and bright.

The shipping was on time and the service was great when I needed help tracking a shipment.

Would definitely recommend this site to anyone looking to create a customer board game.

I have used this site for producing a variety of custom board games for gifts etc. for friends. The production itself is consistently good and the interface (though clunky) works fine. My only complaint is that the pricing is straightforwardly deceptive. The Shipping costs routinely add ~30-40% to your order - regardless of the quantity or size of your order. For example, I just placed an order for a few boards, thinking that the pricing was reasonable, only to see that shipping came out to $73 (for the cheapest option) on a $160 order. Playing around with cart quantities, it looks like the "shipping" cost is just adding on a fixed percentage to your order. So, feel free to use their service, but just expect to be extorted at the end of the process, when you've already invested a ton of time in fine-tuning your design.

Everything was perfect. I ordered a deck of 144 custom cards and a custom game box. Production took 2-3 days, shipping to Greece took another 9-10 days with no import fees (they mention on their site that orders below 130€ won't have fees for Europe).

As for quality, I was super impressed. The cards look super professional, with no mistakes or misprints and cut perfectly. The box has a great finish and it's a tight fit so you can be sure your cards won't fly out accidentally. One thing to keep in mind is that everything turned out a little bit darker so turn up the brightness when you're making your artwork and stuff.

WATCH OUT. Hidden import fees!!!

What they dont tell you is the products are coming from China.

So what seems like a good price isnt. Once you pay and the delivery is sent, you will get a bill when the package gets to customs, and it is NOT cheap.

So this is a semi scam. Their price is NOT the final price.
