I am a Gi Joe fan and a boardgame lover and after seeing there wasn't a decent game out there with that theme I decided to create my own, I've been play testing it and it works exactly as I wanted, I modified the cards from the game battleground and also design it around the micro force minis, it is a deck building game but also a boardgame and it's all about the theme, now I am thinking about trying to publish it but I know it would be nearly impossible to get picked up by hasbro or even trying to license it because it would be so expensive, I guess my only option is to move away from the franchise and make it my own but I would really love it if it was a Gi Joe game. Would you guys play/buy a game based on the franchise?

The day I get bored enough to play a board game, just kill me. HOWEVER, I'd buy that just because it's so beautifully made and I'm a Joe fan! Well done.

I'd play it. Maybe you should pitch it to Hasbro

You could always try to produce it but without the rights I’m not sure what you could do.

Not too be gruff but no one would play it. Only joe fans and then it would sit on the shelf after a while. It would really have to be great to stick around.

Indeed it has to be great but not only fans would play it if it's great, boardgames are on the rise I think they are the #1 most funded on kickstarter and the community has grown a lot! check out boardgamegeek.com and yeah in order to not play it just once you come up with expansions to keep it always relevant and interesting. ;)

Looks cool. MtG + Joes + Minis? Sign me up! I feel like you would need to change the IP though, unless you wanted to pitch directly to Hasbro. Do they license their IP to third party board games?
Scratching off the serial numbers might be a better route. At least then you have control of your own destiny. There is quite a bit of public domain characters and art assets you could use (including war comics). Colonel Holmes anyone? Generalissimo Moriarty? Black Terror? Captain Cthulhu? Doc Savage? Etc Etc. With war comics and such, your art budget is basically unlimited. |

I would buy that, you should pitch it to Hasbro, the worst they can do is say no. They can’t kill you and they can’t eat you, that’s against the law.

so I did pitch the idea to hasbro but they have a computer algorithm that it will only select things they are looking for to speak to an actual person, my pitch didn't pass the computer algorithm, now I am moving on and creating my own theme, I will be posting updates here.
