Boda Games Artwork Guidelines

Boda Games is a company that supports board game designers, publishers and anyone else involved in the exciting process of making board games. Having published countless numbers of games, we are aware of the difficulties in going from an idea, a concept for a game to a set of files and artwork ready to be printed.

The purpose of these artwork guidelines is to present you a definitive guide to preparing any and all files for your soon to be printed game. As part of our ongoing effort to make things easier for you, the designers and publishers, we have put together all our knowledge of printing games and bundled it in these artwork guidelines.

As you read through this guide, you will learn how to expertly navigate common mistakes and save yourself a lot of time and needless effort in getting your game ready for printing. We did our best to explain everything as clearly and easily as we could, so after this is done you will be an expert on things such as bleed, margins, color profiles and more. Playing cards, boxes, punchboards, dice, we cover all these and more in this extensive guide. But if there is information you can’t find in here, we are more than happy to go over it with you personally to make sure everything is clear and that file preparation won’t be a hindrance in your mission to publish your game.

From the table of contents you can quickly jump to a specific topic you are interested in, or you can scroll through the entire guide. Each theme is separated into different chapters to make sure it is easy to navigate. Also make sure to check out our template generator, which is referenced in this guide, at www.bodagames.com/templates.

Having said that, we sincerely hope that this guide will be a useful resource to everyone out there with the ambition to create board games. Boda Games is excited to work with everyone and bring more of our much beloved board games into the world!
