How to design your board

Designing your custom board should be an enjoyable experience from concept to finish. In saying that, certain guidelines should be considered before submitting a design or idea. 

​

• Logos and copywritten designs are not permitted without the owner's consent

• The optimal design space is roughly 9" x 9"

• Less is often more

• A bold design with a few colors looks better from a distance

• Using numbers will detract from the game and is discouraged

• Limit or forgo text as it will distract from the board numbers

• If utilizing text, 1 or 2 large initials is all you'll need

• Circular designs lend themselves to meld better with the game board

• The game numbers will end up overlaying part of the design

 

When designing a custom board, there are two options on how the design is applied.

 

1. Vinyl or Stenciled: This option will give you the sharpest looking design possible. The lines will be the cleanest and the design is the easiest to read from a distance. This would be a great option for a company logo where clarity and branding is important.
    

2. Acrylic paint: Very versatile and artistic, this will give your board the most customized feel of all the options. This is a handcrafted design option and may have minor flaws that come with all paintings.
