51st State Hits Board Game Arena – Join the Beta Now!

Hello, hello,

This is Ignacy Trzewiczek, and this is another letter from Poland. 

It’s been hell of a week here at the office – final edits to Bohemians rulebook, final play-test of solo variant for Bohemians, preparations of the prototype of Bohemians for upcoming Leiracon in Portugal… 

I am not talkin’ about Bohemians today though. I am talkin’ 51st State. And just to be clear, I am talkin’ 51st State, the game, if you wonder. Not the ideas spread around by the Orange Moron. 

51st State made it to Board Game Arena. It is in the beta phase right now, fully playable and well done, and it is in the queque for the official release at BGA in a few weeks. I had a call with BGA this week and we discussed the potential of the game on the platform, the possibility to bring to the platform other games in the family – that is Imperial Settlers, and Empires of the North and we were also discussing Neuroshima Hex coming to BGA. There is a lot of potential to bring our best game and present them to new players all around the globe. 

To make it happen, we obviously need to make 51st State success on the platform in the first place. If that happens, we follow up with Imperial Settlers and Neuroshima Hex and that would be dream come true with our evergreens available for free for all of you to play. 

It’s all in your hand. It’s you coming to BGA, playing the game, having fun and helping the game grow. It’s you telling your friends about it. It’s you inviting your friends for a game of 51st State on BGA. It’s you posting on social media, on FB groups or Twitter that they can play 51st State and it is awesome.

It’s you who will make it happen. So my question to you this week is simple:

Thank you for today, have fun with 51st State on BGA and remember – I love to get some letters from you. Don’t hesitate. Write to me at portal(at)portalgames.pl I love hearing from you.

Ignacy


TEASE OF THE WEEK

A stunning art piece from a solo scenario for Bohemians. It’s called The Wheels of Industry. 

“Machines dictate the pace now. Be efficient like they are. Be productive like they are. Make. Deliver. Make. Deliver. Everything needs to have utility, even art. This is progress. It is inevitable. You will keep up or perish.”

Welcome to PORTAL GAMES

We are bookworms. Movie maniacs. Story addicts. We grew up reading Tolkien, Howard, Herbert, Dick, Lem… We were watching Willow, Blade Runner, Never Ending Story, Robin Hood…

And yet, we don’t write books… we don’t make movies. We don’t make those things, because we make games. We make games that tell stories.
