“Our Unannounced Mars Attacks – The Dice Game Meets The World”
Part three in my discussion about the creation of the Mars Attacks Dice Game was posted at BoardGameGeek earlier this week, so check out Our Unannounced Mars Attacks – The Dice Game Meets The World for an idea of just what happened when we took the game to New York Toy Fair.
The last few weeks have seen me in various sales meetings where I’ve had the chance to show off the Mars Attacks Dice Game to buyers. So far response has been wonderful, and I’ve even managed to move thousands of games, meaning that we may need to reprint the game for the spring. That’s great news, since it is second and later printings where a game starts to show profit; all of your upfront costs and paid for and your per/unit cost is lower since you’re not dealing with things like design and tooling costs.
Game’s still on track to reach stores this month! Can you tell I’m a little excited to get this out into the wild?

It’s so great being able to follow the process that brought this game to us, can’t wait to be able to pick it up as soon as I can find it.
@RetroRobotReview – Thanks! The game will be in stores later this month.
