Book Description

October 1993
Monopoly, Scene it, Apples to Apples, Smart Ass, Trivial Pursuit, Pictionary, Cranium, Magic the Gathering are all games that made millions for their inventors. While today these popular games are marketed by well known toy companies, none of them originated in an established company. Instead, they came from inventors who knew very little about the game business.

First published in 1985, The Game Inventors Handbook has sold over 100,000 copies.
Written by a credentialed, thirty year industry veteran, the expanded third edition takes readers step-by-step through every aspect of game publishing and marketing

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Having designed and marketed numerous games, Peek shares his expertise with would-be inventors. Although touching on computer games, he emphasizes box games involving boards, cards, and role playing. Discussing development, testing, and selling ideas and games to big companies, he recommends self-publishing and details production, marketing, and legal protection. He also includes a glossary of printing terms and lists of trade associations and shows. Of value as a guide to a unique market and of interest to those who think they can design a better game. Recommended for public libraries. Elin B. Christianson, Library Consultant, Hobart, Ind.
