Cole Wehrle has announced the release of a new edition for his 2017 economic negotiation game, John Company. Players take on the role of members of powerful families trying to gain fame and fortune by managing the British East India Company.
This upcoming edition will play differently than its predecessor, and it is not a straight reprint. The solo mode will be designed by Ricky Royal and it is currently in its early stages of development. The campaign will launch on Kickstarter on March 30.
Candice Harris of BGG News published an extensive article on John Company this evening.
Whoa, it was quite extensive. At a glance, it made me think of a State of Siege game. The original game has a Complexity Rating of 4.14 on BGG. Way too scary for Wimpy Stimpy! 😯
@Cadet Stimpy It looks scary to me as well. 😄
@Athena I always pictured you as courageous at games as a gladiator in the Colosseum Arena. 🙂
I don't know squat about history, but I know Greece had Olympians, but did they have gladiators, or was that just in Rome?
Ricky Royal designed Renegade, didn't he? Does he mostly 'design' Solo versions for other games (ones he didn't design), though?
He does, but I'm not sure how many he has under his belt by now.
