VISION 2025
Where I Come From
I've always been a huge board game and gaming enthusiast. As a child "Catan" was my favorite board game.
So when I came up with the idea of creating my own board game I knew it had to be a strategy game. However, I thought managing complete civilizations and battling with armies would be a bit much for a first game.
When the movie "Hunger Games" first hit the scene the tournament created a whole new battle genre. 100 people are thrown into an arena with nothing to start with. They gather resources, form alliances, and try to survive until the end. We all have seen it in games like Fortnite or PUBG.
I thought, "Why is there no board game using this principle?"
So I started creating it. It has been a rollercoaster so far and I am sure that will continue that way. So if you want to join me on my journey, feel free to subscribe to my newsletter.

2024
So what can you expect for 2024?
I just started developing this board game. I aim to have a first playable prototype by the end of the year. The tiles and cards have already been created. Currently, I am working on characters, items, and basic rules.
Besides that, I am modeling a game in Blender. I purchased a 3d printer to try out different sizes and models.
So for 2024, I want to set the basis for the Vision 2025!

2025 - Part 1
Once the basis is set in 2024 we can start testing.
For the first part of 2025, I start playtesting and optimizing. Gathering data, changing, and optimizing will be the main focus points in this phase.
I mean which game is perfect? Probably no game. There are always game-breaking mechanics which can make a game unplayable. That is why I must test as much as possible.
I also encourage you to come up with your own ideas. If you do find plotholes or loops or you have your own creative ideas, please share them with me and the rest of the world.
It would d mean the world to me if this game becomes a community project. If you do want to change the rules, feel free to do so.
2025 - Part 2
After we as a community perfectionized the game itself it is time to dive into finances and manufacturing.
How much does it cost to create a real playable prototype? What manufacturers even create board games?
Honestly, I don't know. But I will. In the midth of 2025 it is all about learning and getting ready for the final.
Scroll down to read what awaits you at the end of 2025.
2025 - Part 3
Yes you may have guessed it already!
At the end of 2025 I am planning to start a kickstarter campaign. With this kickstarter campaign, I want to lay the financial groundwork for the board game.
Then I start out on manufacturing the board game and distributing it.
So I can only ask you in the kindest way possible: "If you don't want miss anything, please subscribe to the newsletter and become part of our awesome board game community!"
