Announcing our game - Last Week of Summer

We are excited to announce the first game we plan to publish - Last Week of Summer.
This is still in early stages, but we are excited and we want you all to have the chance to be part of the journey and watch this project grow. Important note: all art is prototype, but we are working with artists to make it rad.

LAST WEEK OF SUMMER - It’s the summer of 1986, you just graduated high school and you have one more week of summer before it’s time to head off to the real world.
LAST WEEK OF SUMMER is a 1 to 4 player game that combines turn programming, worker placement, and a whole bunch of mini-games. Each game players choose 5 of the 8 locations and then they compete to create memories, make friends, get invited to parties and have the best summer possible. But don't let the light theme fool you, this is very much a euro-game, with each location featuring elements of set collection, tile placement, mancala, market manipulation, area control, racing and more.
We will be sharing a lot more information as we go, and we'd love to have you along for the journey.

I'm already putting together the playlist. Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Erasure, Depeche Mode.

[@AlliesorEnemies]

There will actually be a playlist in the rulebook. All new wave of course! I can't overstate my love of 80's new wave.

[@HerVoiceRemains]

Wow! What an amazing game. My last summer was 1987 and I’m a lifelong post-punk musician! I’m all on this. Anything I can do to help, support, play test, etc, let me know.

[@AlliesorEnemies]

Amazing! We will definitely have online playtests, so I'll loop you in when that happens. And thank you!

[@tikkireyua]

Can't wait!!

[@BoxedMeeples]

Wow this is amazing! Congratulations

How exciting! Great theme!

[@kristianmickelson]

Good luck! You're looking great for your age if you graduate high school in 1986 BTW...

[@AlliesorEnemies]

I'm not quite that old, but I'm taking the compliment anyway. I started my teens in the 80's though.

[@MattHoather]

So happy to see you putting this out into the world! Absolutely love playing it and can’t wait to see everyone else enjoy it just as much!

[@AlliesorEnemies]

Thank you so much!

[@szulgitgk]

Not only does it work very well as a game, the experience left me haunted by nostalgia (in the nest of ways).

[@AlliesorEnemies]

Thanks Greg!

[@AW_Designs]

Niiice!! Congrats, exciting stuff :)

[@AlliesorEnemies]

Thanks!

[@BoxedMeeples]

Such a brilliant theme, do Hope the Neon look remains once the game goes through its art development

[@AlliesorEnemies]

Thanks! We don't plan on losing that 80's charm.

[@gaillardlionel]

What a surprise!!! I was playing my Nintendo NES back in the days, too young to prepare for my first job, I doubt that will be a module in your game lol! Fantastic theme, interested to see if the various mechanics will interconnect or not. Good luck!

[@AlliesorEnemies]

No NES just an arcade. But I sure remember when our first friend on the block got an NES. We were like "that's it graphics will never get better than this."

[@gaillardlionel]

@@AlliesorEnemies I used to watch game reviews on something called a "magazine" those days 😄

[@mazman9355]

Lets Gooooo!! (...oh wait....except for the roller rink, which was clearly a den of 80's iniquity😆)

[@AlliesorEnemies]

Just like Corey Haim's classic film Rollerboys.

[@thenewamericanunderground3149]

Don't forget Solarbabies

[@mazman9355]

(reluctantly admits:) I don't know the movies, I was lucky that I was even allowed into a roller rink back then, no chance I was going to see sus movies lol

[@boardgamehappy5982]

I loved it when I playtested it last year. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

[@AlliesorEnemies]

I hope to play it with you again soon!

[@l60449]

[@AlliesorEnemies]

[@boardgamehappy5982]

[@AlliesorEnemies]

[@monsieur2531]
