The global board games market is highly dependent on the quality of the story and the experience of gaming. Often, satisfying these criteria only might not be enough to launch a successful board game. The designers must ensure the news of their game design is broadcasted through the right channels. With the increasing popularity of online platforms to raise money, marketing and PR have become much easier. Once the games have garnered the right amount of excitement, the designers should explain why their games are unique or interesting. With the growing number of options for leisure activities, convincing the casual players to play a board game might be difficult. Designers should take this as an opportunity and create a gameplay so intriguing that it overshadows other leisure activities.
