Step 1: Estimate and Consultation

Making a game estimation and consultation is necessary and easy.

Method 1: if you have a fixed idea, pls simply contact our sales consultant and give us basic information about your game, we will offer you within 24 hours.

Method 2: if you have not fixed your idea, click the button next to contact our project manager to request a consultation. They’ll answer your questions, and help you develop more detailed specifications for a final price quotation. 

Step 2: Design

The offer has been confirmed, and it’s time to check the designs and drawings.

If you have a perfect design, that's great, just send it to us for final verification of the offer. 

If your design needs our assistance, we are willing to do it, please send us the elements and design ideas, and our designers will complete them in 2-3 days.

At this step, we will create a full set of online digital proofs for you to review and approve. It’s just one more way we make sure your game is ready to go before we begin the sampling process.

Step3 : Sample

Now that your files and designs are approved, it’s time to make a Pre-Production COPY. it is a single, near-final quality prototype version of your game’s printed components (box, rules, cards, punchboards, game boards, etc.), There are two ways to confirm this step: 

1. Confirm with our existing samples and materials, which are free of charge;

2. According to the design and production of your designs, we will charge the sample fee according to the content of each game.

Step 4 : Production

Once you approve your PPC and component samples, we begin mass production.

Now our incredible factory teams will go into action: printing your cards, boards, and boxes; engraving your dice; crafting your wood tokens; making your miniatures; and so much more! When mass production is nearly complete, we’ll air-ship you the Mass Production Copy, or MPC. This is the first full, final, and complete mass-production version of your game. Shrinkwrap and all! It is also your last checkpoint before we begin assembling the rest of your games. You and your Project Manager will review the MPC on a video call to ensure that your game is ready for final assembly.

Step 5 : Assembly

Once you approve the MPC, we assemble your games.

Our dedicated quality control team inspects your components to check that everything is complete and correct as your game is assembled into the box.

And we mean correct! All of Deer’s games come with a 99% defect-free quality promise.

We even include spare components with no extra charge so that you have extras on hand to provide as replacement parts for your backers and customers. 

Step 6 : Shipping

First, we’ll create customized cartons and markings to package and protect your finished games.    Next, we palletize and shrink-wrap (or floor load) your game cartons at no extra charge.

If you’ve made your own shipping arrangements or had a shipping agent who will arrange to pick up your games, you are welcome to do so with no additional fees.    But if you need some shipping assistance, our door-to-door shipping services (not included in the manufacturing price) will make sure your games get from our factory in China to your choice of location(s).

We work with a network of experienced global shipping partners and can ship games by ocean, air, or land, depending on your budget and timing needs.    No matter where they are going or how they get there, we’ll ensure that your games arrive safely and on time.
