Description

Immerse yourself in the world of video game development as you lead your studio in the creation of the next gaming sensation - or an overhyped flop.

"Pixels and Polygons" is an original take on the worker placement mechanic, featuring modular hex tracks that vary in every game. Workers, or developers, can compete and move on these tracks to collect specialized bonuses for your game in development, such as genres, fans, and features. Researching the tracks can increase the maximum range to which the developers can move, representing your strategic commitment.

Cards are played in games to add specific features with special effects, unlocking the true potential of your projects. Released games are scored based on specific trend requirements and then compete on the hot list for reputation and revenue.

Gear up for launch! Will you become a legendary game creator or a heartless profit-chaser, exploring every dark aspect of game development?
