Game Development Update

by Joe Minton

We've had some great movement on game development! Bosworth went live in October, Battle of the Bands was brought to Alpha in December, and Lemmings in Space reached Alpha in January. In addition, programming has now started on Cargo and Battle for Olympus. We keep on growing!

GameTable Online and Reiner Knizia have teamed up again to bring site members a one-of-a-kind gaming experience. Battle for Olympus is the newest game from Reiner Knizia and will only be found on GameTable Online. Unlike all other GTO games, this one is being released online before the physical version is in print!

"GameTable Online is the strategy gaming site that is working closely with game publishers and game creators to build a stronger industry. I am proud to offer Battle for Olympus on GameTable Online," indicated Reiner Knizia.

Battle for Olympus is a two player board game which pits ancient Greek heroes against Mythological creatures. There is no luck involved at all as each player attempts to outmaneuver each other in a true test of wits and of wills. Each hero and creature has a special ability that can be used one time - save it just for the right moment and perhaps you will claim victory.

"We are overjoyed that Dr. Knizia chose us to launch his newest strategy game. While our primary model remains hosting online versions of strategy games which already exist in physical form, it is great fun to turn the tables on this one and launch the online version first," announced Joe Minton, President of GameTable Online.
