Special Thanks
We would like to thank two companies for bringing Game Contenders from a dream to a reality: The Order of Utopia, and The Game Crafter:
​
The Order of Utopia is a book written by Esther Smith, and the company has become a partner company with Game Contenders. Established in 2020 with the publication of the first book of the series, it served as an inspiration to the founders of Game Contenders, and a very strong supporter since Game Contenders began.
​
The Game Crafter is the company that made it possible for companies like us to spring up. Individuals can buy customized games for remarkable deals and also sell on their site, which helps others to share their game ideas with the world. In addition to our games, there are many other games and products on The Game Crafter that are sure to keep you interested.
​
Here's a special thank you to The Order of Utopia, The Game Crafter, and all of the other companies and individuals who made it possible for Game Contenders to exist. We also want to thank all of our customers. We couldn't do it without you.
Our Story
It all started when I was young. I thought of ways to alter games I already had, and made up my own versions. As the years flew by, games made of paper and cardboard were made and thrown out, but it wasn't until 2020 that I realized that this could be more than just scraps in my closet. Esther Smith, a relative of mine, published her own book, the Order of Utopia, and with it a fun and engaging board game played on a chess board. Her company found The Game Crafter, the largest print-on-demand game publishing company in the world, which made it possible for the Order of Utopia game to be published.
​
Upon realizing this opportunity, I began pulling my ideas together, testing them out with family and friends, and after a couple of years and a lot of help I finally made a successful game that was easy to play and understand. That game was Bigfeet. I took a class in visual arts and finally completed the artwork for Bigfeet, made a few final edits, and finally finished it in May of 2023.
​
Since then, I have been working on three more games, two of which should be released by the end of this year. We're currently trying to get Bigfeet into some stores, but until then you can buy it online on The Game Crafter or Order of Utopia websites, which you can access through the links across this site.
​
Thank you for visiting our website! Enjoy our games! If you're interested, check out other games and products on The Game Crafter and Order of Utopia websites, or click here. Rest assured, You'll Never be Board.
