First Post!

Firstly and at the most fore, welcome to Gameful Enjoyment! This here is our spigot from whence flows content and pure joy into the blogosphere. Content and joy taking the form of board and card games. We are but two people, one of whom had an idea for a board game, and the other agreed to provide the graphical beauty. Expect some amount of self promotion to occur here - this is after all a place that we will tell you about upcoming games and products! - but it may not be limited to merely GE-proper.

Returning to point, we have been tirelessly working to craft our very first ever super exciting board game! The game is called Temple, and it is truly a wonderful strategy game. Simple to learn, fun to play, and so on and such forth. We will spare you no small detail when the game becomes available, rest assured. I'm sure you are thinking how such an endeavour could be undertaken. Well.

The fine folks at The Game Crafter have put together a service that allows burgeoning new talent, and people like us (no entrance exam, thankfully), to create and sell games (board, card, et cetera). Basically you give them your specifications, which includes graphics for boards, cards, instructions, and the like, as well as a listing of the requisite pieces. They tell you the cost, you set the price, and profits are had. This allows people who have an idea but don't have the representation of a game publisher to make their ideas become physical, and - I expect - very professional and exciting looking. And, as they print the games on demand, we need not stash a room full of games that need selling because we had to meet a minimum for printing. All in all, it's a pretty slick deal.

The end result is that soon - very, very soon - you the consumer will be able to purchase games made by us the producers. We will be sure to give you all a shout when our debut effort is ready to go, but in the meantime, with bated breath await!

Cheers!
