“With a staggering growth of 40% over the past year, the board games sector is vital and an ever growing source of inspiration for original gameplay mechanics”, said Marco A. Minoli, Director of Marketing at Slitherine. “Games are either coming straight from the board, like the recent, successful release of Heroes of Normandie, or are designed from the ground up by popular designers, such a John Butterfield’s Battle of the Bulge. Victory and Glory is a thrilling project, because it mixes mechanics created specifically for the digital platform, by a designer who’s used to work on the board to transpose PC games”.
