Publishing Waiting Period

In order to publish your game, you'll first need to purchase a copy.  You'll then need to wait 10 days from the date you place your order for your game to publish.  We've implemented this waiting period to encourage game designers to review the printed copies of their games for errors prior to publishing.  (For more information, you can visit our News feed post on the subject here).

Once the 10 days are over, you can log into your TGC account, click on the "My Games" tab, click on "Edit" next to your game.Then click "Sell".If your waiting period is over, you can now click "Publish".If you are missing any of the requirements to publish your game, you will receive a warning explaining what you are missing. As well, you can look for this icon, to find what items are required. Note: We also have a standard waiting period of 3 days between your first order of your own, custom-printed game and being able to place a second order.  After the three-day waiting period, the system will no longer show you as a first-time customer and will lift the restriction.

There is also a limit of $250 on your first order of your own, custom-printed game.

These limits are in place for your protection.  We encourage game designers to review the printed copies of their games for errors prior to publishing, and before ordering multiple copies of a game.
