While researching other projects on KickStarter, I found a link to the Game Crafter. Turns out they do exactly what I need- make one-off copies of board games for demos.
One thing that caught my eye was their choice of smaller cards, 'mini' and 'micro' versions. Doing some quick calculations, it seemed that I could (once again) redesign the After the Fall player mats using these small cards for Producers and Converters. This would open up space to make the resource tracks bigger, to use regular chits.

The funny thing is this reverts to a very early design I had using cards instead of tracking the Production separately.
The other exciting thing about the Game Crafter is that they have a tool for estimating the price of producing a game. I did the tally, and it came out somewhere around $55. Too much to sell the game, but definitely OK for getting a nice version for myself.
Best of all, they're in Madison, WI. I can drive over there to pick everything up, see it right away, and save shipping charges.
