Plutocracy
Plutocracy is the second board game by Doppeldenkspiele. It is a pick-up and deliver Eurogame with open information, simple rules and high replayability, playable in 60 to 90 minutes, packed with challenging decisions. What makes this game special is that space equals time – the further you travel the more time you spend – and that the planets, Earth and the Asteroid are constantly changing their positions. The game will be produced by Ludofact in Germany and will be ready to ship in October 2022. It can also be picked up at the SPIEL ’22 in Essen. Have fun and thanks for all the fish!

Wyrd Science Issue 3
In 2021, thanks to our backers on Kickstarter, we launched and published the first two issues of Wyrd Science, a premium print magazine focused on exploring, celebrating and interrogating the past, present and future of tabletop games. A magazine that set out to treat space wizards, gelatinous cubes and tentacled gods with the respect they deserve.
Wyrd Science Issue 3 – Since the humans first gathered around their fires to tell tall tales, horror has been used to both entertain and educate, so it’s no surprise that it has been an integral part of our games too. So join us as we explore the dark, shadowy corners of tabletop gaming in our horror game special.
Pledges start at $11. A subscription option is available.
