Home Business Profile: Game Becomes Home Business

Monday July 31, 2006
Resourceful Coloradan Barbara DeYoung has launched a home-based business after developing a board game she calls Ka Bump with her daughter Cheryl.

Ka Bump is a board game that's sort of a cross between Sorry and Chinese Checkers. She hired three contract workers to hand-paint the individual depressions in the board and had a custom cabinetry company in Loveland produce 100 sets that are ready for purchase. DeYoung has begun selling the game locally and has set up an Internet site as well to market the product. With a custom crafted and hand painted game board, the games could become collector's items some day.

Have you ever dreamed of starting a business based on a game you like to play? Did you turn your dream into a reality?
