I published a book on lulu.com awhile back and I now have a friend who would like to publish a board game themselves.<p>I was hoping to find a web-based self-publishing option but didn't have any luck finding what I was looking for, but I thought HN readers might know of something new and cool that I didn't run across in my search.
There are quite a few websites that will do you small runs of custom playing cards, if that helps. (easy to find via Google) I haven't encountered anything for printing custom game boards and cardboard cutouts, unfortunately.
in France there is a young startup who is doing a KickStarter for Board Games if you speak french: <a href="http://www.mywittygames.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mywittygames.com/</a>
