How much will it cost to make chess board game?

Answer 1

There's no way to answer that without knowing what components are in the game, and how many copies you'd be printing.

You'll need to know exactly what components you need… board, player pieces, wooden cubes, cards, player aids, dice, etc… The box size makes a difference too; too small, and it won't attract attention on the store shelf, too big, and the price goes up.

The price per unit will depend on how many games you print. Most games outside the mass-market sell less than 5000 units, so you won't get any volume discounts.

You'll need to factor in shipping of the games to you as well. Most good manufacturers are in Europe or Asia, and the cost can get up there.

I would strongly urge you to think twice before sinking money into printing a board game as a business venture. The average game sells about 2000 units, unless it's a mass-market game like Monopoly or Cranium.
