For anyone that wants to make their own board game, I thought I’d walk through the process + costs + profits.
This was a good project to learn more about the world of e-commerce. You can read more about that process here if you’re interested in writing your own children’s book (including the economics as a writer). For “If You Give A Mouse Metformin”, that was handled entirely through Amazon’s Kindle Direct publishing which meant Amazon printed it on-demand, warehoused it, fulfilled it, and handled all payment/tax stuff. This project was much more of a challenge for me than the children’s book, because it required a third-party manufacturer. If you want to be really nice, please leave a review on Amazon :) The game takes 2 minutes to learn and 15 minutes to play. The game doesn’t require any healthcare knowledge to play it, but you’ll learn about some of the wild and wacky ways money flows through the healthcare system, some of which might bankrupt you.
