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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanity-games) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board-game-backpacks) sometime in the coming months.
