    Hoyuk: Coming on Kickstarter!

    by Phobos » Sun Jan 19, 2014 9:25 pm

    Hi everyone,

    We prepare our new game this period for Kickstarter. We will launch the campaign on February 25th, 10:00 hours, NY time. Until then you can check the game here: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/24270/hoyuk


    Imagine yourself some 10.000 years ago in the Middle East...

    Your Clan has left the ancient nomadic life and settled with 4 other Clans in the valley. Once again the community has been successful in harvesting crop, and some families are getting better at raising animals: next moon will see the birth of a new generation of pups. We all praise our own Gods and Mother Goddess for being good to us. This new Era has brought something new to us: the area is progressively filling with dwellings, built tight against each other. New generations are building their houses over the remains of old constructions. Our greatest Families have now constructions way up over the land, proudly showing off their Shrines and wealth to the community. Who knows, when the children of our children will come to the world, which Clan will rule this multitude?
    In Hoyuk each player represents a Clan during the Neolithic period. You will erect a miniature version of the cities built in Anatolia more than 9500 years ago on the Hoyuk board using tiles representing Houses but also more pieces come to complete the game such as Ovens, Shrines, Pens and more.. Purpose of the game is to score the most victory points and for that you will have many choices and it depends on how you play in order to win. The best clan will prevail in Hoyuk!

    July 2007 : Hoyuk is the 2007 recipient of Parthenay Game Designer's Trophee.

    Thanks for sharing! Let me know if I can help answer any questions in the pre-launch phase. If you haven't already, would recommend posting this on PitchFuse, our new companion website :).

    Hi there,
    My name is Michael Andresakis, co-founder of MAGE Company. Recently we launched a new project on Kickstarter.
    If you like tile-laying and settlement building games, then you will love Hoyuk since is an awarded game for 2-5 players.
    Hoyuk is a game about life in the Neolithic era, in which players control the destiny of prehistoric clans while
    building and expanding their settlements. Reviews from Rahdo, Joystikz, Undead Viking and Flying Penguin and
    Interviews are available on the site. The campaign ends at the end of March. A game for families and friends.
    We worked carefully on Hoyuk and we really hope you like its final form. Anything you would like to ask feel free.
    You can check the game here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/magecompany/hoyuk

    If you would like to write an article about the game, or promote via a poadcast or interview, please let us know
    in order to work together on it. If you are interested, please let us know.
