For the past few decades, I have worked on creating interesting board games as my hobby.
In the early 90s, an idea began after yet another loss playing “Risk”...due to my bad LUCK with the dice. I was frustrated. I wanted to play a game that was just as fun and exciting, but also used SKILL. Thus, the idea for Planetary Strike was born…a true game of skill and strategy.
The original game board was drawn by hand over 20 years ago, and the game pieces were cut and shaped into ships by hand from wood and placed in a pizza box.
Early 2015, my wife Christine and I decided to create a game company called 'Claim to Fame Games’ in order to deliver Planetary Strike and my other game ideas to the masses. We dug our heels in and pulled together all our savings to get this company off the ground.
I worked for a large company at the time, and went to my boss to resign…told him I was starting a game company. He looked at me and said, “How do you start a game company?” I said, “I’m about to find out!”
Thank you for your support. This journey is just heating up and with everyone pulling for us, I know this game will explode worldwide…and you were part of how it got started! And I’ll be sure to continue this story in the next letter.
Thank You All For the Support!
