Applicant: Mighty Boards Ltd.
Reference Number: CEPT-17-19-4287
Project title: Mighty Boards launching Posthuman Saga and demo-ing Excavation Earth and Hamlet at Essen Spiel 2019
Amount Awarded: € 8000
This project follows the story started through a 2017 Cultural Export Fund where two Maltese game designers got together to show their respective games at Essen Spiel, the largest board game fair in the world. Gordon and David’s games on one stand drew the attention of several major publishers including the worlds’ largest hobby boardgame publisher, Asmodee, that not only published their titles but translated them into several languages. Following this successful outing, David and Gordon decided to join forces with local veteran artist and graphic designer, Mark Casha to form Mighty Boards, the only Maltese board game publisher currently present. Mighty Boards has since worked to deliver the games it had launched at Essen Spiel and developed another project, Posthuman Saga, that was a major success on Kickstarter. Posthuman Saga has just been produced from the factory and Mighty Boards is looking at showing it off at Essen Spiel with the intention of finding co-publishing and localization partners
