Currently, I work for Underdog Games as their Head of Kids Game Design & Development where I help inspire curiosity designing family games. Beyond my day job, I am the host of a podcast called “Game Design Unboxed: Inspiration to Publication” hosted on the Know Direction Network. In the podcast I talk with tabletop game designers on specific games or series of games they have created. Listeners will learn where the initial idea for the game came from, how the game developed over time and where the game is now after being published. I am also an Officer with Tabletop Gaymers promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion by championing the visibility and recognition of the LGBTQIA+ community through tabletop gaming. I also volunteer as an admin for Board Game Broads+ which is a space for women, gender non-conforming, non-binary and trans folks in the tabletop game industry on Facebook. Plus, I am on the board of Unpub helping plan/run playtesting spaces and panels at conventions. I’m also a mentor for the Tabletop Mentorship Program and volunteer for Women in Games International and the Young Inventor Challenge hosted by the People of Play Conference. I kinda live and breathe gaming!

Join the staff of GPI for a Nonepub hosted discussion about numerous topics to keep in mind when designing your next game. Get insight on: 0:00 Intro 4:50 Packaging 6:11 Designing with retail in mind 7:35 Digging into game specs 10:50 Tooling – custom vs sourced items 12:55 Quoting for Kickstarter 18:10 Die-cut pieces 20:08 The IG influence 28:26 Rule books 29:00 Designing for print vs web 31:03 Safety testing 32:55 Manufacturing timelines 38:55 Freight costs This long list of things to keep in mind can be overwhelming but it doesn’t have to be, choose your manufacturing partner with an eye on who wants to be a partner with you not just produce your game and that company will help you through this process. Thank you to Unpub for asking us to participate in their online event, Nonepub.

Danielle Reynolds is a game designer, a podcaster, and a brand-new member of the GPI Game Manufacturing team. She has been playing games since childhood, but in the past two years she has made herself a force in the hobby. As lead host of Game Design Unboxed: Inspiration to Publication, Danielle, and her co-hosts, get down to the specifics of a game with its designer. So, I flip the script and we discuss her first design under contract with a publisher, Inn Keeper.
