I have a quick question that somone may hopefully be able to answer (John
Smith, you may be the subject matter expert on this from what I have
read).

I haven't really posted the two newer versions of the game, but some of
you are intimately familiar (mostly becuase I force it down your throats)
with my variant I am almost completed with: Wildest Kingdom Chess (WKC
III).  Well, it really doesn't have much to do with chess, it is just kind
of a strategy board game.  Myself and my boys are working on creating an
actual board and pieces for this, but I want it to look professional.  We
are designing what needs to go on the board, but I want to have it
professionally done by a company so that it looks like a board you would
pull out of Candyland, Stratego, or Chutes and Ladders.  My questions are:

- Does anyone know of reliable companies that can do this?
- How much would you imagine the cost being?
- How long would it take to set this up?  (My goal is to have it done by
November, though I am pretty sure that isn't feasible).
- Do they work with individuals that are overseas?  (I am in Japan)

I have tried to google for hours, and all I get is ways to make boards out
of posterboard and foamboard.  I want this to look real, though.  I found
one site that said he just cannibalized an old game board and used his
design, but I don't think I possess the patience to line it up correctly,
especially when my boys and I will be creating 62 pieces by hand.  

The type of work I am looking for is for me to send in a design and have
it come back on a board.  Is this possible?

Thanks for all of your help!
