Want to make a small fortune in board games? Start with a large one.
That's the joke.
But I've done that. I got MS. My life insurance paid out. I wanted to go pro. I paid off most of our mortgage (on a tiny 1-bed flat), put some aside to live on and 'invested' £12,000 in Reiver Games. And I threw away two years' salary and pension contributions. To end up with £4,000.
We don't do it for the money. It's not going to make us rich.
I don't want to be rich anyway. There are way too many people in poverty to make coveting personal wealth something I'd be ok with.
I want to make things. Things that make other people happy.
I want people to share moments of joy using the things I've made.
Parents and their kids. Friends. Families. Sharing a moment of joy. Our creation the catalyst.
That sounds pretentious doesn't it?
We get messages from our backers and customers. About how much they love the game. Them and their kids. Them and their mates at Games Night.
That’s worth a fortune.
