Ep 115: Dan Blacklock, Cloud Puncher Games

Published on: 31st August, 2021

Dan created BoxThrone in 2017, the world's first made-for-board-games modular shelving system. The campaign in 2017 raised over $900,000, and since then his company, Cloud Puncher Games, has gone on to ship over 10,000 BoxThrones worldwide. His newest creation, LAX RAX, turns any KALLAX shelves into BOARD GAME shelves! Store games horizontally with millimeter spacing precision - games slide on and off with ease.

Do you love board games? I do! But do you ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes?

How do meet-up groups get organized? What is the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign? How do publishers get their games to market? How are people reaching their market in an ever more competitive market? What type of social media personalities are springing up in support of this industry?

James interviews experts from across the industry and takes a peak under the hood in his quest to understand this far reaching community. Each episode is bite-sized, clocking in around 30 minutes, so you can take nibbles, or binge several episodes at once.
