Kickstarter Tabletop Alert: Breaking Into ‘Techlandia’ — GeekDad

Tech giant Dexter Ward is about to unveil the new TX-1 smartphone, and you’re here to report on it for your tech blog-never mind that you weren’t invited. Can you finagle your way past security for the big event? And what will you find behind the shiny facade of Techlandia?

What Is Techlandia?

Techlandia is a game for 1 to 4 players, ages 14 and up, and takes about 60–90 minutes to play. It’s currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, with a pledge level of $35 for a copy of the game. The gameplay is fairly straightforward and easy to learn; the theme is a mix of tech culture and Lovecraftian allusions, which seems to be the primary reason for the 14+ age rating.
