Postmark Games is a new tabletop games studio that is on a mission to make board games more sustainable and accessible by enabling players to print their own boards at home.
The company was founded by Matthew Dunstan, the co-designer of the beloved board game Elysium, and Rory Muldoon, the creator of Skora. Together, the two board game entrepreneurs envisioned a "print-and-play" company that would reduce the environmental impact associated with board game production while offering consumers an affordable alternative to pricy tabletop brands. As a result, Postmark Games was born.
The company's first board game to launch will be 'Voyages,' a "role-and-write" adventure game centered around sea exploration. The game will offer players a set of fully printable sheets and boards and will only require three dice to play. For those interested in the eco-friendly board game, Voyages is set to launch on Kickstarter sometime in the coming months.
