In this meeting of Adventure Party, Keith Mateka talks about how his two year old helped name his company, how a Protospiel event gave him inspiration for his new game, how you can start your own game company, and how you fulfill your Kickstarter to ship it to your backers.  You can check out Thunderworks Games on Twitter @thunderworksgam and http://www.thunderworksgames.com/

Glenn's Review:

Glenn reviews the board game, Libertalia. You are a pirate roaming the high seas, competing for treasure. You and your ships must beat out your competitors to get the riches you so rightly deserve.

News:

Tabletop games have raised far more money than video games, in the world of Kickstarter. In fact, board games raised more than twice the funding than their digital cousin.

Kickstarter Spotlight:

The light shines on the card game called Biergarten. You must create the best biergarten in town. You'll need plenty of tables, taps and a bit of strategy to create the perfect atmosphere for your patrons.
