If you love economic engine building games you should check out a game I’m selling this week called Magnate. Save yourself at least $10 if you buy a copy this week.

On January 29th I'll be running a Crowd Sale for Magnate, a modern elegant empire building game. It's a competitive game for 2-4 players (or 2-6 if you buy the expansion).

If you're into empire builders like Cash Flow or Acquire, or you like games like the 18xx series, then this is most likely a game for you.

Sign up to be notified of the launch of this sounds interesting to you.

Please note, that I'm still working on the crowd sale page. I know I need more imagery and description, and overall beautification. But I'd love your feedback on what needs to be added to the page.

China will soon consume more adult diapers than infant diapers. Aka they are going through the same problem as the rest of the developed world, but magnified by having the largest population in the world.

It turns out that bees have their own amazing defensive system that they don’t use when kept in perfect human made hives. The trick is to make imperfect hives and then the bees will defend themselves.

Instead of paying ransoms for your data, protect yourself now by using backups! How is this still a problem in 2018?
