Bodokon Extra 3

We succesfully broke out of prison,
but it's just one thing after another!

Wait right there!
He found us!

He's firing off his gun relentlessly!

Seeing someone who acts like a Showa-era anime character in real life is pretty disturbing~
Uwah~
Now's not the time for that!
If only there were some kind of board game establishment to distract him.

There it is, Kumicho! A board game event!
Nice! Let's escape through there!

Board Game Event Game Grotto

Board Game Event Gaming Den of Thieves

Hrm...

That's right. Today is Sunday...
The day when the board game event "Gaming Den of Thieves", "GameDen" for short, takes place.

I-I don't thinking about wanting the latest board games or anything.
Right now, I must stay determined to catch these fugitives.

Ooh...!

It's all board games!

Care for a test play?

It's all board games I've never heard of.

It's because these are brand new board games that are being unveiled for the first time today.
Eh~ That's amazing.

GameDen is the biggest board game event around,
so you get a lot a new games unveiled at it.
It's filled with circles, be they indie or mainstream.

Oh? So even individuals can take part and turn a profit, huh?

The getaway money's drying up, so I should probe him for details...
So you can make it by yourself, huh? That's amazing.
We'd like to try making one to-
Then let's make on!
Anyone can make a board game!

A good way to start is to look at existing games such as playing cards and trying out variations.
By filling the world with more board games, so too is it filled with fun! What a glorious thing!!

Um, sorry.
It was really just a thought.
I'll introduce you to a printing press and a designer I know.
What board games do you usually play? Concealment? Co-op? Grand scale reproduction?
A genre of board games. Examples include "Katan" and "Splendor".

Excuse us.
There's other board games we'd like to check out.
Is that so?
But fair point.
It's important to see all kinds of games. Please, enjoy yourselves.

Come again if you feel like it.
Sorry, Ranko... You saved me there.
I guess there's a lot of people in this industry whose love for board games is as intense as the chief's.
*Misunderstanding.

But I would like to make an actual board game~
A cute one would be nice.
We should ask Lapin and Pigumi and see if we can make one.
If all goes well, we'll rake in the dough.

Naive.

Just when I thought I had found you,
you went and said something really naive...
Geh.

You're not gonna cell that easily.
When it comes to board games, things like producing the box and the pieces can easily cost a lot.
They're not something you can make it a day!
Test plays are also important.

And if your board game is large in size, storing it is no easy feat either.
There are many who don't rent offices or storage
and instead live at home surrounded by the games they've made.

At any rate, you're not guaranteed to succeed if you're just in it for making money!
The important thing is the feeling of fun and making people enjoy it! I'll drive that into you once we're back in the prison...
Wanna kick his ass?
Yeah... but we gotta be careful since he's got a gun...

They say that board game that was all the rage on social media has only 10 copies left.
Woah. I'm glad I got one~

Gh...! I'll remember this!
The next time I see you, I'm taking you in for sure!

And there he goes...
The chief really loves board games, huh?
He's rather overlook four fugitives before letting a fun board game out of his sight.

...How about instead of making a board game for money~
we make one as a countermeasure we can use to bribe the chief whenever he's about to catch us?
Wahaha.
That might actually work.

And so, half-jokingly, the four created a board game together.
Whether it was because they had a clear image of how it should play,
or because it made the best of everyone's unique histories and knowledge,

it turned out to be pretty interesting... so they say.
H-How frustrating...
