TwoMonkeysStudios, a small game and media development company, launched a new game last week through KickStarter. In just the first few days, “Influence” has already achieved 23% funding and a great review from a nationally recognized gaming expert.
If you enjoy strategic gaming, or if you’re a fan of the KickStarter process, or if, like me, you are also a supporter of entrepreneurship, I hope you’ll check it out! March 16 is the funding deadline to move forward, but please don’t wait. Be part of the excitement today! (Full disclosure – the mastermind behind TwoMonkeysStudios is a family friend.)
Influence is a tactical card game where players attempt to gain the most Power. By playing Influence cards – symbolizing military, political, and economic influence – players conquer Castles and gain a base of Power. Maintaining control of these Castles grants additional Power, as well as influence over neighboring Castles!

From Father Geek’s advance copy review (click here for the entire review):
Influence is a rather ingenious little game. It takes a very simple premise that would have been rather ho-hum, and added a great deal of depth to it. The level of focus it takes to play the game competitively is a challenge, and there is a great deal of strategy and tactics to be discovered…
Influence is challenging and makes the players think. The game play is simple and complex at the same time. Simple in its execution, with the complexity almost entirely focused on trying to determine how each player is going to influence the round…
…it proved to be a great game and one that many wanted to play again. A fun mix of worker placement, resource management, and area control in an ever shifting abstract game. Neat!
