There is a grey area in boardgames that I don't hear much about: games that are very easy to reproduce, either by using common components or by recreating a small amount of cards. Is this piracy? It's not that simple. Thread. 1/7

Multiple publishers include print and play tiers for their kickstarters to explicitly enable this.

That's true! I think that's a really good approach which I tend to use since shipping to Europe is usually prohibitive.

Made Bravellir specifically to 1: be playable with a chess set, and 2: use fewest possible components to make it maximum craftable. Reign&Ruin was first tested on parts of a regular deck of cards, and I’ve heard of two cases where people made their own pack.

It really helps to sell Bravellir's lore as an ancient game that was just discovered, turning it into an urban myth. :)

This is why I release most of my games as PNPs. It's worked well - Tag City came from the success of BentoBlocks. And that's why I've done so much with roll and writes lately - they're super easy to DIY. I'd be surprised if it ever backfired.

Good point! I stopped releasing PNPs when I started working with a publisher but I really want to continue.

That sounds like a healthy approach, as long as you get them when you have a chance. 1889 is a bit different since you have formal permission to assemble your own copy.
