August 29th 2023: Today, Postmark Games announced Battle Card, a new
partnership with legendary wargame designers David Thompson and Nils
Johansson. Battle Card is a series of print at home micro solitaire games that
depict iconic battles and campaigns of the Second World War with only a
handful of components. Each dice-based scenario is played on a single sheet
map with specific rules that allow players to face some of the unique challenges
and struggles of that particular battle. Series 1 of Battle Card is launching on
Kickstarter next month with fulfilment as print at home files immediately after the
campaign if successful.

David Thompson had this to say on the project: “It’s an honor to collaborate with
Nils on the creation of the Battle Card series, as he is unequaled in the wargame
space for fusing game design, graphic design, and illustration. And I couldn’t think
of a better partner for the Battle Card series than Postmark Games. In a short time,
Matt and Rory have turned Postmark into the leader of print at home games.”

Following the success of Voyages (2021), Aquamarine (2022) and Waypoints (2023)
Postmark Games are now expanding their studio by publishing works beyond
those created by founders Matthew Dunstan and Rory Muldoon. “We’re delighted
we can help to shine a light on these wonderful games” Says Rory Muldoon “David
and Nils are exceptionally talented at what they do, and I can’t think of a pair of
creators I’d rather be working with right now”.

Matthew Dunstan adds: “Whilst the Battle Card games are very different from
the titles we’ve previously released, the ethos of interesting, accessible, low
component print at home games makes them the perfect fit for Postmark Games.”
The first Battle Card game, Battle Card: Market Garden, was designed as part of
the ‘Postcards from the Front’ game jam and a link to this can be found at www.
