After the Empire arriveth!

Well, while most of the rest of the world already received theirs, the US backers have finally started to get their copies of After the Empire. Here in Portland, we’re hoping the snow this weekend doesn’t delay our delivery!

We’re very excited to share some of the nice things Tom Vasel has been saying about After the Empire since their playthrough video on the Dice Tower (see last post). This is our first big release, so we’re over the moon about this type of response!

This January 18th Q & A (@40:54): “I really like it.”
This February 9th podcast #696 (@17:10) “I like it. It’s really entertaining. This is my jam, this After the Empire.”

Also, we’d like to shoutout to epitrapaizoume for doing this unboxing video…in GREEK!

And, you can watch Evan gloat about once again defeating Ryan on this playthrough we did February 1st with Lance from Grey Fox Games and Roger.

In other news, we’ve got some friends doing good things in the industry:

Here’s our friend Jay Bell pitching an awesome family game January 30th (@53:49). He nailed it!

We’d also like to shout out to this wonderful and important panel of board gaming content creators, featuring our friends Mik and Starla at Our Family Plays Games.

Another fun little side note is Ryan and Evan, with an assist from Josh Lobkowicz from Grey Fox Games and Travel Buddy Games are now officially “published authors.” Check out the images below!

And for fun, here’s a little teaser below for a game Evan has been working on using some art from the very talented Beth Sobel! It’s a tableau building and trick taking card game where you play druids vying for control of the ancient magic which recently returned to the woodland.
