If you PnP this game, you will end up with a suboptimal looking game that probably has cost more than double than a decent looking original game.
So you really think that making a homebrew version would set me back more than £60?
If you don't want it to look like a big pile of junk, I think it might even cost more than that and still not look as good as the original. And I can't imagine that it costs £30. I paid about €25 in a rather small local game shop.
I don't have to imagine. It's £29.99 in my FLGS, and that's pretty standard for the UK. Then the expansions are roughly £12 a piece on top of that. So, all in it'd set you back in the region of £54 in the UK. Which as you can tell, I don't think it's worth.
EDIT: Corrected a typo.
I haven't made a copy of this game and don't plan of it, but I have done a number of other print and play projects. I'd put the materials cost of making this game at a quality level on par with the original at easily less than $15, probably less than $10, for the base game and both expansions. Even less if you've already bought some of the supplies needed (like spray adhesive) for other projects.
Really?
High gloss cards?
8 custom engraved dice (2 in one colour, six in another)?
Custom plastic stands?
Translucent cubes?
High quality board?
Good quality card monsters?
Very high quality box with partial gloss and partial matte finish?
Custom vacuum form insert?
All that?
For less than $15?
Without making thousands of them?
Seriously?
Do you work in a board game factory?
