Preliminary material cost estimate for publishers

Based on my own estimate, the material costs of the current Murmel7 game unit are below โ‚ฌ5 per copy.

This figure refers exclusively to the game components and serves as an initial orientation for possible series production. Costs for packaging, assembly, quality control, logistics, storage, and distribution are not included.

Actual production costs depend on factors such as print run, material selection, safety requirements, and production partner.
