Everything on this page comes directly from building Station Decimus, a board game I'm designing and self-publishing on Kickstarter with no ad budget. The articles cover board game design and mechanics (push your luck, quarterbacking, ticking clocks, limited communication), prototyping and playtesting, pitching to publishers, and the full story of building a Kickstarter audience from scratch using only organic marketing. If you're making a board game yourself, this is the stuff I wish I'd found earlier.
